It never fails that if there is a high priority critical thing that I absolutely must get done that business folks will immediately book half of every day with status meetings.
Each meeting is the same. Some group of people asking me the same thing I already said 5 times that day, then them discussing for an hour while I tune out and actually do the work
Just note that if you somehow get out of those meetings, incorrect information will be propagated somehow. Even if you put the correct answers in an email and send it to everyone involved. If someone has a way to prevent that from happening please let me know. It’s killing me slowly.
Had this experience today. It was incredibly frustrating. Had to meme about it since I can’t get approval for my fix until tomorrow at 9am in another meeting.
I feel you friend. Just remember to write status updates at regular intervals so that stakeholders can see it. If you’re blocked, make sure people know that you are and why so they don’t start thinking it’s you who is slowing down
