You mean if I decline enough, I’ll stop getting invited? A dream!
I have a bone to pick with our “ticket estimations” meeting. It’s a waste of time, we don’t even use the estimations for any planning purposes. We just sit there, reading tickets out loud as a group, saying pseudo random numbers that inevitably average out to a 2, 3, or 4.
I’m convinced we’d have better estimations if we just nixed the meeting and sampled estimations from a normal distribution.
more like, if you don't attend you'll get expelled from the group. Meaning you'll get fired.
But then again. if you don't like the group, your job, go on a quest to find someone else to spend you time with. that is probably the best investment you can do.
Those kind of ticket estimation meetings are always a waste of time. Have one person do the estimate and then follow up (in aggregate) how correct the estimations were. Hopefully you will get better over time.
