    Because then the manager might directly order you to wait. So then if you leave you’re directly disobeying an order.

    But if you just sign off and they call you on it, you can say you were SO ENERGIZED to meet this quarter’s deadlines that you just couldn’t stop yourself from getting back to work on the project! Then you can say “yeah, it’s my biggest flaw, I’m so excited about my work that sometimes I don’t spend enough time in meetings.” Bonus: that way you never get promoted to management.

      Ngl I’d be annoyed if my manager asked me to wait to the end of every meeting for no reason.

      Also, lolwut? does saying “you were SO ENERGIZED to meet this quarter’s deadlines that you just couldn’t stop yourself from getting back to work on the project” actually work? My manager would be pissed if I told him that I get so excited about my work that sometimes I don’t spend enough time in meetings.

      Also, I definitely want to get promoted to management.
