Even if you DO escape, there is no guarantee that you'd leave with your sanity intact.
Imagine at 00:59 minutes elapsed, your boss enters and informs you that it's actually an upstream data issue and that no changes are required.
How'd your boss figure that out before you did?!
This is the data gathering process for the performance review, maybe?
Lol you just made my day with that comment
As someone who has lived this scenario, I feel comfortable concluding there isn’t any escape. If you fail, the problem will still be there later. If you succeed, you have now become an expert on the problem and we be called upon to handle it again later when it manifests in a different way
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here
I actually had something similar to this. It’s impossible. That “hour” ended up being two weeks while sleeping under my desk. But hey I got a “you saved the company!” … hat. Yep, hat. #neveragain
And go.
Coffee.
Then a blank soulless stare.
And silence. Lots of silence.
Silent mind warfare lol
i had a similar idea for a video game. the idea was that you have to solve a problem or penetrate a server in limited time. you would've to capture the flag by sql injecting a server or get the output of a bugged code that you have to fix.
This is an impossible challenge
So you want me to pay for something I get paid a lot of money to endure?
