I know, but in most companies they don’t give a fuck.
What’s done is done, sure there can be some minor maintenance, but goodness forbids you need to rewrite something that handles the 10x throughtput that built up over the years.
I am usually able to get some cleanup tasks in, but from what I’ve heard, not many people are.
It’s just sad, that some think ‘sprint’ means ‘this is done and dont dare to tell me you need more time, what have you been doing the last X sprints?’.

If the company you work for truly does not value this effort, then do not do it.
It’s not your code base. It’s theirs. You are not being rewarded for saving them from themselves. Don’t work for free.
