That's what I hear.

I've had some mix of luck and skill in finding these jobs. Working with people you've worked with before helps with knowing what you're in for.

I also don't really ask anyone, I just fix any bugs I find. That may not work in all organizations :)

I can guarantee you this doesn't work in our team! you didn't make a ticket, so the PM has no idea what you're doing!

Yes, a ticket takes 2 seconds. it also puts me off my focus :P but i guess measuring is more important than achieving

micro-managing middle manager: "Are all your other sprint tasks finished?"

code reviewing coworker: "This shouldn't be done on this branch!" (OK, at least this is easy to fix by doing it on a separate branch.)
