The point is you're not solving anything with this approach. You have chosen a lose-lose solution. What people need to understand is that the same problem exists outside of capitalism. You will continue to get the short end of the stick until you gain leverage.
- handoflixue 4y ago> You have chosen a lose-lose solution. When I go to the store, there is a listed price for an apple. I pay that price, and nothing more. I get an apple, and nothing more. That's not lose-lose. > Turn up on time. Do your job. Do it right. Do whatever is asked of you provided it's lawful, reasonable. This is a totally reasonable transaction. You're not slacking off. You're not failing to do your reasonable duties. You're not showing up 2 hours late, or playing hooky. > Do not one thing more than that. If someone is asking you to do something unreasonable, you should have the freedom to refuse that. It should not be considered a defection or a betrayal. It might not always solve things, but it should be a normal and satisfactory outcome. Again, this is the outcome every time I go to the grocery store
- laboratorymice 4y ago> You will continue to get the short end of the stick until you gain leverage. How you gain leverage is situational. At some companies, going above and beyond actually _reduces_ leverage, because you may find that after five years working at said company, the value you add is mostly tied to your knowledge of company internals (processes, systems, people, etc), and you may have actually fallen behind in the actual "transferable" skills that the market values.
- quickthrower2 4y agoYeah this is the tension. Learn something to benefit the company? Or throw Redux/Kubernetes/Microservices/Rust on everything for a killer CV?
