Last two weeks we had people out of office on holidays and such, meaning we didn't have the meetings that lead into them. They'll be making their return this week.

Hopefully with the new EP, all the time off project will be reigned in. I think that was the biggest issue they were having. A "cats away" situation if ya get me. at my job, the project manager cancelled all vacation time(including my company trip to visit our sister plant in Budapest) until we completed our latest contract.

Um, you do realize that "time off" for holidays is a cultural (both company culture and country culture), right? I mean seriously - how would you feel if you had to work Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, Independence Day, etc (or insert holidays in your country). This hasn't been a vacation thing.

Be considerate dude.

We do work those days if the job isn't completed. It's called having a grown-up job that doesn't require asking "would you like fries with that?" I was not trying to be snide, but if you follow the dev's twitter feeds you would know they have spent a lot of time away from their desks in the last few months.

Without an EP, they had no one to tell them no when it came time to crack the whip as it were. And that is what an EP's job is, to keep folks on task. To keep deadlines, and if necessary, cut dead weight from staff. I'm sorry if I come off as a jerk, but I am looking at if from a business point of view.

I have to agree with bishop but I think ccp small headcount generates a lot of OMD among the teams that makes it look like the company has more holidays than normal

Ha! If you still believe that, then you are not an adult. Despite what you hear in movies and tv, you are your job, you are your bank account, you are your kitten khakis. These are thing you don't find out till you are older, and yes they suck, but they are true. the world only cares about what you can produce. no more no less. If you are lucky, you get a good job that affords you the chance to do the things you love as well a good paycheck to support yourself and a maybe a family, but most are not so lucky.

But this is another discussion for another time...

Just because the world only cares about what you can produce doesn't mean you have to give up everything else. I feel sorry for you if your life is that miserable, but some people actually have time for hobbies and actually enjoying life.

Awesome! Thanks for the clarification Logibro :]

Now how about that roadmap?
