[quote=an][quote=deadzone]I generally agree with you about the meetings. But beyond that you are full of it. If you are working for me I’m paying you to contribute to my business, not take care of personal affairs. If you get done with your tasks in 20 hours then either 1. you did a half ass job, or 2. you need to ask your manager for more tasking or 3. preferably a motivated employee will take the initiative and find more things to do that contribute to the team such as taking lead on new projects, helping out teammates who are struggling, etc.[/quote]
Not everyone wants to overachieve. Some people are fine w/ meeting expectation. If you can meet expectation, that’s all that matters.[/quote]
theres no point in overachieving if the best you get out of it is a 3.0% cola adjustment versus the “meet expectation guy” that gets 2% cola adjustment. That 1% difference might afford you an extra starbucks frappie every 2 weeks…but thats about it…sorry, Starbucks recently raised prices. its probably closer to an extra starbucks frappie every 3 weeks…
The meet expectation guy that spends the rest of his time doing something else is a lot more likely to achieve financial independence and san diego housing affordability because the se time spent to achieve that extra 1% raise could probably generate a lot more earning potential elsewhere. thats why its really hard to ask people work overtime these days… people know this…
