As a side effect this will make you also super reliable in front of the management, always delivering when promised. SO if you don't exaggerate with your requests, it might be even a win-win situation.
Yep. A friend of mine said that he used to work for a company where team A always multiplied their schedules by 3, and team B worked as fast as possible to deliver. The result was that management loved team A because they always delivered on time, and considered team B to be unreliable/not to be trusted/less competent than team B. The reality of course is that the two teams were equally competent. It’s all about how you handle management expectations.
