I first was driven mad by people like this... 5 days work and 2 lines of java code committed modifying class visibility etc. then I slowly became them after realizing busting my ass everyday for a corporation was not worth it. (also reading gervais' piece on losers/clueless/sociopath triad in orgs)
- nine_zeros 5y agoSame here. Once I realized that my efficiency in output only helps my immediate management look good (as opposed to me getting promos/bonuses), I lost all motivation to go above and beyond. The only time I felt like doing my best was for a manager who genuinely wanted to get me promoted, and he did it smartly.

- BTCOG 5y ago"Chaotic-neutral I'm always fuckin' coastin'" It's first best to realize sociopaths drive from the top in the same fashion. NO employer gives a damn about you, they control you in ways to squeeze the value out of you and will dispose of you at the very drop of a dime. Those of us that "fail up" within companies and update resumes and move on, throw the ball back in their court by also manipulating them.
