Slacked work for whole week

Im not proud of this. But i was slacking off my work by working on a single feature the whole week. I could’ve finished the development part in 3 days. But i was not having motivation to work. Rather i was spending my time playing xbox 😑

There’s a guy in my org. He does something great , out of the box , once in a while , something that others are not willing enough to work on like clearing tech debts , enhancing productivity, sharing ideas on new features , learning new tech , things like these , and then chills for next 2 weeks , at times doesn’t show up entire day and puts status power cut.

But he is the one getting 100% promotions year on year from past 2 years !! You gotta find a way to keep your CTO happy , other than that do anything just keep showing up and once in a while and act like you are the CTO , small tasks others can do !! 🫠

The point is do you show that you are working? That's enough. Just show that you are an insanely hard working guy

Been there...!In my case,sometimes I had to drag things or else I won't be having any work. My manager and seniors were upset,since I started to work on tasks from other development teams 😂.Dude what I do? I didn't have solid work for 2 weeks. Anyways my seniors asked to upskill.I got a task now.i can finish it within a single day but I am draging it for weeks. Because of this I am planning to switch.

Also I would recommend playing witcher 3,Mass effect series and Skyrim if you haven't played them. Currently I spend time playing gacha games like honkai star rail and genshin impact.
