Incompetent Tech Company Insists on Holding 3-Hour Meeting After Software Deployment, Making Dev Unavailable to Fix Bugs

In a classic case of 'F around and find out', redditor u/Sinaneos decided to let their incompetent team have their way after they insisted on holding a 3-hour meeting on a Friday instead of pushing it to Monday so that OP could address inevitable post-software deployment issues. Because OP was stuck in the pointless meeting, they weren't able to monitor or fix anything. The company ended up upsetting clients and wasting tens of thousands of dollars because they were determined to have a meeting at the worst possible time. You call yourself a tech company? Maybe listen to your software developer. Keep scrolling for the whole story.

"Because Friday is kind of a chill day, after deployment. So they wanna have the meeting then, and utilize Monday's hours for more work" —OP.

"Obviously not as chill as they thought if they were getting that many tickets coming in. I think they need to reassess those meetings. Just a humble opinion of one looking from the outside. Unless you want the killer OT and PTO added to your check, then by all means go with it." —u/RedditAdminAreMorons

"We're still working on our processes. There are tests and all, but we still have cases where someone pushes something and it crashes the servers due to conflict with production data." —OP
