Sure, you can play the endure card and just do your job in the hope of one day pulling ahead of everyone. But what if that isn't the case? What if you silently work your ass off and then get laid off anyway? If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you earn what you put in. It's in your interest to push the product, create a drive in the company and basically make it the best environment for you and everyone else to work in. And if that is met with nay-sayers or incompetence, then you should be moving on anyway.
- michaelochurch 13y agoI'm not advising anyone to "silently work your ass off" because that doesn't work either. If you're on a failing project that will harm your career, leave. But leave silently unless there's a credible chance you can fix it (and usually, you can't). If the project is doomed to failure, being a PITA means you're more likely to get fired while silently working out a transfer or next gig has only upside.
