Tell me you’re 14 and have never worked a day in your life without telling me you’re 14 and have never worked a day in your life.
Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 months agoQuiet quitting: doing what you’re paid for
Normal working: doing what you’re paid for but also asking managers for more work when you’re done -> that’s what’s expected from management and also takes some load off their shoulders, they love that
Over achievement: doing what you’re paid for and more without asking management -> management will promise you a seat at the table of you continue doing that long enough!
If there’s advancement opportunities try to do the second one until you reach a point where you’re happy and then do the first one :)

Gonna have to add a couple of decades to that number buddy.

Ah, just never had to work a day in your life then.

I work a job that requires a highschool diploma and that offers advancement opportunities and people at my level and higher are younger than me.

This person is a manager
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Not a manager, just someone who did exactly what I said, worked a bit harder for a year and a half, moved two steps up the ladder and now sitting cozy don’t exactly what I’m paid for and nothing more as I don’t want to move any higher because it would mean being in a position of authority.

Or crawl so far up management’s ass while throwing all your coworkers under the bus. THAT is how you get ahead. Stepping on your coworkers.

I actually got promoted because I was the guy helping everyone do their job…

“you slave”
He said to the guy telling others to reach the point where they’re happy with what they’re doing and to then work their wage and nothing more.
If I was on my knees in front of management I would be telling everyone to just keep working harder forever, not to stop doing it once they don’t have or want advancement opportunities.

I’ll simper to no one for “advancement”
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Then work your fucking wage and that’s it then, don’t bitch when others decide to put a bit more effort in order to move ahead if you’re expecting to be offered the same opportunity without showing that you’re actually able to do more than what is asked of you.
If I see someone eating the same meal every day I will come to the conclusion that they’re either unable or unwilling to cook something else so I won’t ask them to cook me something else.

I’m a skeptic when it comes to lots of things where the common man is getting fucked.
May I ask y’all how highly-paid individuals in high positions came to be that way?
Are they ALL the results of nepotistic practices, ALL inheritors of wealth? Or 80% got there that way?
(In the SF Bay Area, certainly seems I know high performers who work their asses off, make shit tons of money, get promotions before jumping ship to other companies, work at startups that get acquired…)

The Bay Area is a well known warp in reality. Don’t expect your experiences there to map to experiences elsewhere.
And even so, it’s usually who you know, how well you can sell to VC, and luck that determine success out there.
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
:) good point. Can be a nice reality warp, for the non-super commuters who can enjoy the weather by the Bay/Pacific.
Edited in an obvious miss:
Luck really helps too. Pretty much a necessity.

In the current climate, internal promotions are a rarity. They say that you should be changing companies roughly every 3 years to ensure you’re getting paid what you’re worth, as pay raises don’t keep up with experience. New responsibilities come quickly while promotions and pay raises come slowly. The number of times I’ve heard somebody say that they left a job for an immediate 10-30% (or even 50%!) pay raise and reduced responsibilities for even the same job has gotten to the point where I just expect it now.
Like everything else, it varies, but company loyalty is long dead.
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Ah yes! Had to add:
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
If you don’t have any advancement opportunities where you’re working then change job or work your wage. I don’t know why you guys don’t get it…
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
Can’t work your wage if it doesn’t keep up with inflation, you’d just earn less every year.
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Then change job or try to get promoted, living on the street won’t help you solve this shit.
