Our new shiny hunter takes a full hour for lunch every. single. day. They close their GBA SP and walk completely out of the lab. Yesterday I mentioned that the rest of the team usually eats while they hunt to keep the momentum going. I explicitly told them they can do what they want but encounters matter. This morning they handed me a formal complaint from the Safari Warden about overstepping (600+) boundaries.
I am completely blindsided. I did not tell them they could not eat.
I just pointed out how “real” shiny hunters handle their time. It feels like the new generation want the shinys but none of the actual commitment. If you want a typical 9-5 then maybe gen 3 shiny hunting isn’t for you. Am I crazy or is basic work ethic just completely dead these days?
