you will more or less never be rewarded for doing things quickly, except in the form of more work. once you're overburdened it will become a failure of prioritization and time management on your part, and if they ever decide they want to get rid of you they'll just suddenly decide you're performing sub par

I mean if they play DoTA2 the writing was on the wall even before that But in my case it's more along the lines of "man I really enjoy Baldur's Gate 2 I just wish they made an expansion that rounds the story out" and then flailing around pointing at Throne of Bhaal like Scooby Doo But instead of BG2 it's "a F2P team based shooter that isn't APB"

Then again I have a Saints Row 2 avatar so I had to live in a time period where "God GTA4 is boring I wish there was a fun open world game like San Andreas" existed so I think I just have a bad run of trying to recommend things

if it seems like everyone is doing a bit, they're not - workplaces will grind you into dust and fire you for being too ground up. Do what you're asked to and then go home on time

Basically, your boss (and your boss' boss, and so on) are incentivized to extract as much labor out of you as possible. Unless you're paid on commission, you are not incentivized to maximize your labor. You are being paid a set amount for a specific amount of labor. Doing more is basically just volunteering, and telling your boss that you are a person who can be squeezed harder.

I've never worked anywhere where the concept of "promotions" are a thing but that's the only situation I can think of where being exceptional might have a purpose. And even then I'm absolutely certain it's always going to be stacked against you. Volunteer for something you care about if you want work to be appreciated.

Also if you're working for an NGO or advocacy group or whatever whose mission is to make the world better, rather than having a mission of lining the owner's pockets, then "volunteering" by putting extra effort into your job is pretty similar to volunteering in your spare time, but doesn't involve two commutes Most people don't have those jobs though

Always remember these pithy mantras: Always do exactly what you're paid to do Gratitude does not put food on the table You are interchangable The appearance of hard work is more important than the presence of hard work To a company or corporation you are not a person, you are an asset, an object In the end you will die: have more memories of a fun and happy life than a grey and painful one before that happens

Grouchio had a good day and already distinguished themselves as being competent at required tasks. I can’t remember if this is the internship that was posted about a few days ago, but if you know your contact is only a few weeks and you’re just entering the workforce, impressing your bosses is a good way to improve your shot at future employment. I agree that you shouldn’t put the company before your personal life, but some jobs are fulfilling and can help support a better quality of life. If you want to do the bare minimum and punch the clock for 30 years, that’s fine. If you want to distinguish yourself and try for a better job down the road, that’s good also. I fear this might be pounced on as me being some corporate bootlicker, but that’s not it. I just think you should take pride in your work and also be aware of when your employer starts to take advantage of you. Hopefully you work for a company who does work you find morally sound and treats you like a person. Idk, there was just a lot of vitriol towards Grouchio having a good day at work.

Hold on I’m almost done with my kotaku post about “What MMO Role Are You At Work?” where you can read my keen insights into whether you’re a DPS (heavy, monitored workload) or tank (responsible for success/failure independent of the contributions of others)

i mean you can take pride in your work and do well at it but at the same time not open yourself up to be exploited. I'm not saying do a bad job, I'm saying they get what they pay for.

idk it's a well-known phenomenon that when you perform exceptionally, "exceptional" becomes the new baseline for your future work. If the 8-fold speedup of doing a 2-day task in 2 hours is sustainable without driving yourself mad, then go for it being your baseline I guess. I just assumed that it wouldn't be because 8-fold performance increases rarely are

Grouchio posted:So gague it if I feel it's too much and meter appropriately, while hinting at my true potential? My last job I quit was because I did too much the first month, picking up the slack off my co-workers and more, so they literally built a schedule around those efforts and crushed my soul. My current job is pretty much that as long as you look like you are working toward your goal and things arrive on time, they don't give a poo poo what you do. I've done everything from drive thru, forklifting freight, head of the warranty department for Motorola during the razr days, to professional chef (not cook), and pretty much what folks are saying is right. It's not that you shouldn't work hard, it's more the first couple days you should work to achieve efficiency within whatever system that is. That means lots of questions about process and taking extra time to double check. Reading your post that started all this, I thought I read it wrong when you said 2 day task in 2 hours. Honestly if I finished something that was supposed to take that long that quick, I'd think I hosed up somewhere. But it really depends on what your position is employment wise, I read mention of internship? If it's got a chance for advancement, the best way to get attention isn't just to work hard, it's to think about and apply different strategies to problems your job might have that your coworkers haven't thought of. 'Show' you care about the company more than just a job, which they'll see as pride in your work. Then work to become indispensable because you bring something others can't\don't. Edit: is your current internship connected to your future aka can they give you a real foot in or is this just for general field experience? bushisms.txt fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Feb 20, 2020 |
