You can cruise and do nothing. I worked at Intel for 3.5 years and watched "old white guys" collect $200k+ in pay/bonus/stock and do about 1 month of real work

But it is soul sucking...if you piss the wrong people off they will do their best to get rid of you and promote their lackeys. It really is welfare for the middle class.
- Amygaz 10y agoIn my current job that's all there is, and 1 month worth of work is pushing it, unless "work" also means manipulating the information and the situation, then they are working hard, giving their 100% in that department.
- cmdrfred 10y agoIts the old way of thinking, its like that episode of Seinfeld where Georges car breaks down at work and his boss who now sees his car parked there as he gets in and as he leaves thinks he is a great employee. Costanza is always working! Its easier to look at cars than numbers.
- fdsaaf 10y ago> old white guys Why did you inject race into the conversation for no reason? I've seen layabouts of every description
- imaffett 10y agoBecause thats what i was exposed to. Im a 34 year old white guy and have no problem saying it felt like welfare for "middle" class. the bonus and stock handouts were absurd. Yes Intel has different races/gender (the diversity push is a joke), but on the software side it was dominated by one demographic.
- fdsaaf 10y agoPlease stop. Invoking race was completely unnecessary for making your point. If you really meant class, you should have said so. I know middle class people of all backgrounds.
- Blackthorn 10y agoYou asked and he answered. You don't get to complain about his answer when you explicitly asked for it.
- qntty 10y agoit's relevant because white guys have white privilege...
