@crazyeddie@mastodon.social @nixCraft@mastodon.social I haven't been in a job yet where the contents of my yearly performance review wasn't heavily tweaked (ie, censored) by my manager to focus on things that aren't day-to-day or technical debt reducing. This isn't unique to my current job at all.
Managers love the term "technical debt" as it flies by on their agile boards, but god forbid you would actually focus on it.
