You know those HR meetings where the bosses tell you that you must shape up, do your work well, work harder, and then gives you a reason why you must.
I just had such a meeting and the outcome is a very familiar sight.
The difference between most companies is how you are compensated for taking the abuse and crap that is served to you. Every company has crap on a plate that you are supposed to eat and love and say, “Thank you Sir, may I have more?” The difference is how they treat you after it. Similar to how you suck up to your wife or girlfriend after you just spend your month’s pay on the PS3 instead of taking her out this weekend like you promised.
Compensation is a tricky thing, because cash will only go so far. The more money you have, the more expenses you have. So you look for the silver lining in perks, such as flexible hours, friendly atmosphere, open doors, and company events. These companies are very hard to come by unfortunately, and I have still to find mine.
If you currently have such a place to work in, enjoy it and don’t lose focus. Just remember, “if you are not being at least 80% productive, you are not make the company profitable”.
Wow, what do you say to that except, “Thank you Sir, may I have some more?”
