Target day 1
Thursday, February 5th, 2009
Today was my first ‘target day’ at work, essentially a day that allows the team to dress down and listen to music whilst we work in an attempt to make us do more work – surely every day should be like that?
Anyway, I created 3 templates sites today, joined the team for a bit of a bollocking this morning and also received a pile of ammendments to deal with tomorrow.
All of this after a late night and an earlier than normal start (06:30!).
There seems to be a lot of politics going on regarding the work that our team is to carry out, with procedures varying from day to day.
All of this is fine for me, I can deal with it as it comes along, but it does seem to mean that the team is generally a bit unsure of itself.
A lot of clarification needs to be set down on paper if we are to be able to meet the needs of the customers as well as the targets set by the superiors – something that doesn’t seem to be possible at the moment.
Meeting targets mean sacrificing on the site design and too much design time means not meeting targets.
An issue that doesn’t seem to be helped by the efforts of the sales team – funnily enough!
I think I’ve found a happy medium, although time off due to the weather this week won’t have helped any of us.
Still, tomorrow is another day and we shall see what it brings.
