You are proving the conservative belief in welfare queens.
- whateveracct 5y agoWhat welfare? I'm employed at-will and my performance is reviewed yearly.
- 55555 5y agoYou're on bigcorp welfare and you do as little work as required to not lose your benefits.
- whateveracct 5y agoI am employed at-will and I have yearly written proof that my employer is happy with my work.
- thedevilslawyer 5y agoPerhaps another way to look at this: on your tombstone it reads They had written proof that their employer was happy with their work.
- whateveracct 5y agoMy commercial software development career will hopefully not even be a footnote on my tombstone of all things :)
- nicbou 5y agoCompanies pay as little as required not to lose employees or break laws. Work is a transaction, and it looks like both that person and their employer are satisfied with the arrangement.
- 55555 5y agoNormally, yeah, sure. But sometimes not. Sometimes the world isn't such a shitty place. Sometimes an employer will decide to take a chance on an employee and invest in them, and pay them more than they need to. Sometimes that same employee will decide to work harder than they need to in order to achieve the goal they share with that employer. I certainly don't run my business by paying all my staff the absolute bare minimum I need to so they can do work that is just-as-good-but-no-better than needed. For a company reliant on innovation and driven by human capital, the dynamic you are describing seems like something that would normally come into play at a late stage of its life. Ignoring other factors, imagine how easy it would be to compete against a company that is entirely run this way and staffed by people who work like this. Literally no one there would even care that they're facing disruption.
