I see it completely differently.
If the execs don't see the value, customers don't see the value, and you can't prove money is being made (or saved), where is the value of your work, really? You're not paid to make art.
- lazide 1y agoWell, that is also why large segments of the big corp work environment check out and do the absolute minimum - or even create chaos to make it less obvious who is doing what for whom. Because the paycheck is indeed useful for them, eh?
- underdeserver 1y agoThese people are comfortable collecting a paycheck despite providing little value. I'm not.
- lazide 1y agoSounds painful!
- dcminter 1y agoDo you like working with those people? That's part of it.
- underdeserver 1y agoSome of them I do, some not. They generally believe it's their bosses' responsibility to make sure their work is valuable. I guess that makes sense, but I'd like to own that responsibility myself.
- ta1243 1y agoThis is why small companies can compete. What they lose out on economies of scale, they gain on avoiding this.
- lazide 1y agoThey can also get completely nuked by market forces a lot easier. Also, pay is usually a lot less.
- dcminter 1y agoYou're right, but this assumes that the execs have the insight to see that maintenance tasks save money. If preventing next year's incident isn't understood as being as valuable as doing the hero work to untangle this year's incident then it can be hellish unless you like hero work.
