One other problem is that we have a company-wide code "freeze" starting this week through Jan due to the holidays, where we aren't supposed to push any new changes.



Meanwhile he mentions that he agrees with this senior engineer dude in my org about how we should avoid crunch-style work, how it's bad for us and bad for our customers, and we shouldn't let ourselves get pushed into it.



Oh and then today he decided to announce to the team that he's taking PTO Friday through Jan 4.



This is on top of me already being scheduled to be on-call for pager duty from Christmas Day through New Years Day.



Sorry just felt like venting that fun stuff out.
