Slacker Manifesto

We are professionals, we take pride of our work and we pursue continuous improvement. Most of all we learn.

One thing we’ve learned is that pursuing 100% utilization is a myth and a harmful one. Another thing we’ve learned is value of slack time. Building on that, hereby we declare ourselves Slackers.

And here is our Manifesto (you can sign it by leaving a comment under this post if you like to).

Slacker Manifesto

On occasions we do nothing. Or something different. Or something else.

Because this means that our teams are more effective.

It also means that we are freaking awesome.
