Half of every week seems like a lot of talking. I don’t find the remaining 20 hours of deep work to be enough for the team’s goals, or for me personally.


To be clear, you’re saying it’s the non-core hours in which you’d get work done?

This is probably true for most ICs, and false for most managers/execs. Hence the tension.


Yeah, clarified that.


I believe the proposal is to have 20 hours a week in which everyone’s expected to be available at the same time, not limiting weekly work hours to 20.


You don't need to talk for the 20 core hours. It's just time where everybody is supposed to be around if there is need for collaborative work.

It's a maximum.


That's reasonable and seems like parent was expecting some to work more hours where/when necessary (or not long as they deliver)
