That’s why I work for myself.
Yeah. There is some very creative stuff happening on this level. I noticed all my over time hours were showing up in the evening, but mysteriously disappeared when I clocked in the next day.
They mysteriously had issues with the time clock machine, computer systems in the foh, office, and cc processing. A butter knife, coffee, and broken wine glass can be repursed. Easily would have cost them 20x more than trying to steal hours. And that’s just for me.
“Well, sure you’ve done some good things in other places, but you haven’t done this, like we do here.”
I suspect this was the case in the past, however, in a world where every radio and TV station somehow manages to run their commercials at the same time, collusion is the SOP.
Most companies are paying a position, not the person. Even in the trades it’s become harder for ‘Top Shelf’ talent to get paid as such.
Agreed.
With my work I have to remind people they’re paying for their experiance, not the grocery bill. I don’t ever itemize invoices since they would try to argue.
Yeah, Ive heard that a couple times - “This position only pays x…” .
It always kinda made me laugh.
I guess if somebody allows a company to diminish the value of their experience, then fall for a line like that then they are the person for that “position”.
Seems redundant. If we were to draw a Venn diagram of the gifted engineers / scientists and people on the spectrum, it would be a small circle inside of a larger one.
I’ve taken a job like that purely out of desperation. I just assume they know that based on my resume I’m still going to be job hunting while I work for “what the position pays”.
Oldie but goodie.
The great master follows his own nature
and not the trappings of life.
FTFY:
Didn’t want to risk derailing the Pick One thread, but had to get this in your hands somehow.
I mean, technically it is an option.
If these don’t exist, @SkyzykS can weld one and I get 5% of profits.
