Sure. Who is gonna prioritize that? Engineers likely have no discretionary time left and are even working weekends. Even on a web project I've been on, I had PM complaint every meeting about loading times of a admin interface. I told them every time that they should than prioritize the pagination ticket I had written. After a months of this shit, I took time out of my Saturday and just added it. I wouldn't have done that if I had already had to work nights and weekends.


Working overtime is just insane to me. Why can't you just ignore the PM and do it during normal hours?

What are they going to do? Fire you?


Not blaming the engineers! The problem is structural or from managers and higher ups.

This is why most non technical business school types can fuck right off, i’ve rarely seen them make anything better.

Managers with either dev or design experience is the only thing that works.
