A lot of companies offer partner benefits these days.
As for everything else in this thread....I am retired as of this Friday so I am going to weigh in the from a Management perspective then. There are a lot of assertions/generalized comments that are both real and just plain silly. |

Nobody said anything about doing more than the guy next to you. This isn't people sitting at home putting ****ing Legos together. These are engineering projects and in particular new design projects for future new product launches. As these projects get more mature, some parts of the design fall into place easier and others get more complicated or run up against unforseen issues. At those times it is necessary to reallocate resources to the areas that need the help and pull resources away from the areas that are progressing well. To make those decisions, the manager really needs to understand everyone's actual bandwidth.

Truthfully, I feel like the type of workers doing this sort of project based work are much less likely to slack and tend to do what it takes to get the job done. I highly doubt that you really need to babysit for productivity on this sort of employee, as everything should come to light through status meetings, roadmaps, project schedules/slippages, etc. If someone is slacking, it will be painfully obvious.

It's kind of both, actually. It's a simple tradeoff of your time and skills versus company resources. You are nothing more to them than a tool, and they are nothing more to you than a paycheck. You have to prove your value in a position of need to be paid more. They must pay adequately for you to provide your services. If you think you provide more value than their compensation indicates, you are free to test the free agent waters. If they don't value your contributions, then they'll leave you to rot (since most places generally don't just outright fire people for lack of performance these days). Neither side owes the other anything else.

You know absolutely nothing about me. You came into a thread unprovoked and decided to act tough and call me a pussy. I guess that shows excellent leadership on your part. I am not weaseling out of anything. If I was threatening to "kick your ass", I would have stated that. If I was 100% joking, I would have asked you to meet me at the George Brett statue. |

Hell, even back in high school I went from one shitty job with the worst managers I've ever had to making more money 2 nights/week bussing tables than I was making at 30hrs/week... a couple people had left and came back to recruit me over. And these days it's the same... IT people poach the best of the best. In a shitty situation, come work here instead. It's not just about getting ahead at one company, it's about keeping yourself marketable enough to move on. Working hard definitely doesn't guarantee you'll one day retire and buy a yacht, but being lazy and shitty practically guarantees you'll forever be stuck being lazy and shitty, usually while rationalizing it all away.

I've shown you up for being an arsehole and you've now reduced yourself to dick size measuring. All in a good day's work (4 hours of screen time).

This even goes back to working shit temp jobs. Ask the boss for something to do, he'll be visibly annoyed and tell you to go sweep out some part of the shop that no one ever sweeps. The message is always clear - don't bother me. But also of course don't make me look bad by getting caught sleeping on the job. Just look busy and stay out of the way. It sounds like you keep your workers busy and take that part of the job seriously. But in my experience most bosses don't. They just want you to accomplish certain things, and beyond that leave them alone and don't make their jobs any more difficult than they already are. |
