Yes. You usually can’t pick up a 20% until a year in, when you aren’t considered a noogler.

Hm. I tried at 7 mos and got told to wait even though my manager was cool with it. I guess it may depend on the need of the team.

Does the "20%" work also include business roles (e.g. business, marketing, design, etc.)

like

It can be anything, so yes.

Does that 20% impact your evaluations?

No but it can help open a door for a transfer.

I wonder how the 20% project factors in with the new GRAD system where most people get an S rating.

What do you do with employees who keep finding excuses for being slow on their tasks? We hired someone a couple months ago. She is doing ok with her routine tasks, but when I assign her one off project, she’s slow and would never report her progress unless I ask her. And when I ask (weeks later), half of the time she says “I was planning on doing it this week.” I tried to tell her deadlines, but it’s not working.
