to see people at work putting in tons of overtime, working from home, and giving up their personal lives and think to myself "WHY"? our boss just came through and took a couple people to lunch for working overtime on a project, and all i can think is "i wouldn't WANT to go to lunch with our boss, let alone work my ass off to get said free lunch."
this place has an endless supply of work, and they're just now noticing (with me being out a lot lately) that i've got too much work to do and are lessening my load, but they do that with everyone here: pile on projects and expect people to just work to death. and most people just take it, working tons of hours (with no overtime pay since we're salary). i don't get it whatsoever. sure, one in 20 of them will get promoted, but when the percent of people who put in that much effort is so high, what incentive do i have to work harder/longer?
it's not like i WANT to make our big company richer by making other big companies richer. some of the programs we work on essentially reward the kinds of things i hate in society in terms of tactics giant corporations use to stomp out competition.
i think it's time for a resume update.
