Can’t get code reviews looked at, new employee
I’m a new employee that started off wfh, and no one will do my code reviews. One of my diffs has been sitting waiting for code review for 9 days with 0 comments. I even ping’ed the team last week and they said they would look, but no one makes time. Now seems i cant finish deliverables this sprint due to this. This is such a weird problem. What would you do?
Block time on reviewers calendar and get it reviewed. You own the code reviews and you have to drive it. You can also let your manager know you are waiting for CRs and call it out as a blocker during standups.
Yup! That’s exactly what standups are for and should be the only thing they are for!
Yes, the way most standups are run are such a waste of time end up being a status report vs sprint health/blockers
Merge it yourself and see if anyone will notice?
Lmaooooo
If your team follows story board or sprint , then you should be add blocker on your deliverable about pending code review. Surely scrum master or eng manager should take action on this.

Even I'm facing this issue. Looks like WFH has made everyone so busy that people are just caring for their deliverables
Escalate to your TPM or manager, or the other team’s manager. They may actually be busy with higher priority work.
This is where your manager comes in, if you are unable to deliver - it affects him too. So, get him to escalate the matter.
1. Remind every day or two in team communication channels 2. Escalate to the scrum master 3. Move the ticket to the code review step on the Kanban board if you have one, else mark it as a blocker 4. Bring this up in retro team meetings 5. Suck up to someone for a bit to get it done this time around
I usually try to assign CRs to specific people and ping them.
How would you do that when fixing a cross org bug and the other team just ignores you because they have their own deliverables?
Communicate with manager/tech lead that you are blocked by missing code review
