You said it. I get so tired of talking to people, especially young people early in their career, with this attitude. They want raises, promotions, and bonuses at every turn, but never show in crunch time. They think showing up for 9 months with a completely perfunctory attitude towards work is enough to justify their upward mobility in the company. It is not. I have had interns come and absolutely ball out the whole time they are with us. Sometimes I am sure they go back to their dorm room or apartment and put in a couple extra hours on their project. It shows. I have no problem getting them hired with good salaries and quick promotions. Then you have the guy that has bounced around from team to team for 5 years, never gets anything done right, and wants a big raise.
