idk I religiously firewall my work and personal life but still feel a lot of "personal work employment inertia":
- I know that everyone doesn't suck to work with
- I know who to ask for specific institutional knowledge, or to get something done through unofficial channels
- I know who is more or less competent in specific domains
- I know what kind of work people do and do not enjoy
etc. It's actually the main reason I haven't done the whole salary optimization by job hopping thing, well that and the effort of hyping myself up into extroverted self-pimp mode
- rlnorthcutt 4y agoThis type of knowledge is far more valuable than many people realize. When you see people who get things done, get more raises, or seem to do great work without working so hard... then they know things about how to operate in the organization.
