Yeah, this is some high-caliber nonsense that completely ignores the idea of mutually beneficial agreements. Just because you're helping your employer doesn't

Yeah, this is some high-caliber nonsense that completely ignores the idea of mutually beneficial agreements.
Just because you're helping your employer doesn't mean whatsoever that they're necessarily taking advantage of you or exploiting you.
That's just some deeply cynical shit. You can do your job, enjoy it, care about the work your produce, and go home 8 hours later, all while holding a healthy attitude for your employer and at the same time yourself.
"Stack your money and gtfo" is just sad. I feel bad for you, if that's the attitude you bring to work.
- jeremy6d 12y agoDo you think his attitude here is a problem with him personally, or is it indicative of something more widespread in our industry? Because the former interpretation is an invitation to dismiss, whereas the latter is an invitation to improve the situation for all of us.
- cssmoo 12y agoI think that's a "few and far between" position. I've done the contract circuit and the permanent circuit around the UK for 20 years and it's been a rough ride. You're lucky if you find an ethical company that isn't fucking someone over intentionally somewhere. To be fair the most interesting position I had was working for a giant company who's fortunes were amassed working on the most efficient ways of killing people. Eventually the experience builds cynicism and you either end up accepting it, succumbing to depression or going "meh" and returning the compliment. Healthy attitude is doing what matters which is what the parent is saying.
