Don't understand the negative response, all devs are being compensated for it and being given extra leave
it's about consent. asking people to volunteer is fine, but mandating it isn't. People have lives, kids, obligations, which might be worth more then two days of time in lieu.
Then =/= than
Sure but it's 2 weekends? I'm sure there would be exceptions
Why do they need to work these two weekends on a project that has been ongoing for years?
Did you read the article? Pretty well explained
Yeah, and fuck that. If I perform well on the job, I'm sure as hell not being there for mandated bullshit. Fire me if you want.
Guess what those policies do? They drive your good employees away, and you keep those who can't find somewhere better.
So what do they do with the kids at the weekend when nursery's are closed?
CIG could have hired more people previously...
Read the mythical man month. Hiring more people does NOT get software projects completed faster
Not immediately. It's more of a warning about throwing short term resources on to get quick results. However, under resourcing and overworking staff does not exactly lead to speedy development.
The key point was previously. It's not like this is their first attempt. They know the work that goes into this and they know what their aims were long ago.
You don't understand because you think it's normal. That shit is not normal.
That's like saying "well, they treat their slaves well! What are y'all complaining about?" when the issue is that you're a slave.
