It can be quite overwhelming trying to interpret and guess what others might expect or might not expect from you. If you know exactly what you are supposed to do, you can work towards a specific goal and don't worry about all the other noise so much.</p> <p>However, if you are in a more senior position, it is expected from you to plan your tasks by yourself to a large degree and also be flexible, so you can react quickly to new situations (e.g. resolving incidents). This can overthrow all of your plans. In this case, share your plans with your manager and/or the team and make sure that everyone agrees on it. Once done, be the execution machine. People will be happy when they see that stuff gets done. Communicate clearly all critical work you do. This will capture all the work done as it does not help you in the long run, then you fix everything in the background and everybody else thinks that all is fine.</p> <p>Due to politeness, many people are afraid to set clear expectations. I personally may sound a little "too German" when setting expectations, but so far nobody complained, and I have only received positive feedback so far.</p> -<p>.</p> <h2>Always respond to requests but set expectations and boundaries</h2> <p>There are many temptations to get side-tracked by other projects and/or issues. It is important to set boundaries here. But always answer to all requests as nothing is more frustrating than asking a person and never getting any answer back. This is especially frustrating when everyone is working form home and people are using tools such as Slack and E-Mail for most of their communications.</p> <h3>How to say no</h3> diff --git a/gemfeed/index.gmi b/gemfeed/index.gmi index 31969fba..a7651108 100644 --- a/gemfeed/index.gmi +++ b/gemfeed/index.gmi @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ ## Having fun with computers! -=> ./2021-12-26-how-to-stay-sane-as-a-devops-person.gmi 2021-12-26 (1976 words) - How to stay sane as a DevOps person +=> ./2021-12-26-how-to-stay-sane-as-a-devops-person.gmi 2021-12-26 (1975 words) - How to stay sane as a DevOps person => ./2021-11-29-bash-golf-part-1.gmi 2021-11-29 (1182 words) - Bash Golf Part 1 => ./2021-10-22-defensive-devops.gmi 2021-10-22 (2276 words) - Defensive DevOps => ./2021-09-12-keep-it-simple-and-stupid.gmi 2021-09-12 (1365 words) - Keep it simple and stupid |
