At Grubhub we have half day Fridays so it is totally quiet after 12 pm or so. The mornings can be pretty low key as well and usually no meetings. And also no one works Weekends usually. How is it at other places like Google, Meta, Amazon, Netflix? Wondering if I should appreciate my sub-FAANG salary more since it is maybe more comparable on an hourly basis.
Fridays are rough, so many meetings
Market is still open on Fridays :(
Don't do shit
Friday is a quieter day in my experience. Any day can be a quieter day, just slowly establish those expectations over time with the people you work with haha
I have set the expectation to provide retarded comments in design docs. But they keep asking me for reviews. I need to find a better way
People love the retarded comments, those are usually super simple to address or argue back, and suddenly it looks like your document has been reviewed lol
Friday is only day I can get work done because there’s no meetings
Same
Just say you have too many meetings and don’t do the work. Then you can get out of meetings to actually do work. I don’t understand why folks go the extra mile when they don’t have to. Set your expectations right and you won’t have this problem
Generally not at all unless something comes up and is asked of me. Usually just clicking some buttons here and there to get the code I wrote for the week submitted. Today I did about 1.5 hours of work in the morning and then played rocket league for 3 hours with my homies it was great
What a save!!
Hardly …
About 5 people come in to work on Fridays at Amazon. 🤣
I know this varies by team. How is the WLB during other days at Grubhub? Is it like a standard 8 hours or do you stretch beyond that?
Usually standard 8 hours. No one ever puts meetings before 9 or after 4. Obviously can do more if you are gunning for a promotion or a leader who is in meetings all day and also needs to do some work.
More if there is a SEV or you get paged on call. That definitely varies by team, but most are pretty low burden relative to industry I think. Helps that we are only pressed in US time zones at meal times basically. And no deploys on Friday. Hopefully everyone follows that rule?
