More practical words:
1. Are all your timesheets and invoices up to date?
2. Have you found the weakest member of the team who can be blamed/sacrificed?
3. Have you filled your shared calendar with fake job interviews?
4. Have you created/hacked the issues spreadsheet to make it unusable?
5. Graphs. Pie charts. Lots of them. As meaningless as possible.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
