I think any reasonable manager would appreciate that sort of interest in a project and would support it, not demand it.




And, at least if I'm your manager, zealously defend the sanctity of your recovery time afterward.

I don't need recovery time afterward (apart from sleep), but when I'm surrounded by people who do I want some equivalent compensation, not because I feel I need it, but because I feel they are slackers (not saying they are objectively slackers, just saying that's how it feels to me). many compromises need to be made when sprinting all out, and in the aftermath what is restorative to me is cleaning up the technical debt while it's fresh in my mind and I can't understand that other people don't want to do the same thing.
