One time I spent an hour restacking four small pallets into one big pallet. Managera come through and one of them says, “hey wow, looks much cleaner in here, good work today!”
Anyways I got a promotion a few months later.

Bosses love to think that they know it all, but they operate on limited info like everybody else. This just shows how stupid it is to work hard for a job, when everything is based on impressions and not on any kind of objective measures.

I work hard for myself at work. To know my day and time wasn’t wasted. I also try to learn something new every day. If I’m gonna be a wage slave I’m gonna be a smart wage slave.
I only work hard for myself. Contributing to open source bcoz that is the one that gives me satisfaction, even if not the money.

I’ve seen unproductive people succeed simply because they show up early and leave late while doing less than average work. It’s all about appearances.

It’s a dumb system for dumb people and I hate it.

Hard working unproductive people become in time hard working productive people. Lazy productive people become in time lazy unproductive people. Skill issue on your side tbh.

This has got to be one of the worst arguments I’ve seen in a while. Congratulations.

Hey thanks for your assessment of my skill without knowing the first thing about me. Hard working is something else than just being in the office every day from 8 to 6.

Believe it or not, that’s your boss.

Spending 50-100% more time doing something because you are slow/taking breaks/chatting is being unproductive.

Please don’t question this merit-dualism. I need it as my moral compass in these ever-expanding, complicated, almost mystical realms of the markets.
