  • Of course you have answered my question, no worries. I find it odd that our experiences are so different. Like I know nobody who stayed at a company and got anywhere, everyone always has to go somewhere else to get higher pay etc. And at the same time, companies complain that if they train someone, they just go to a different company. Like are they best dumb? Really odd reality we are living in.




  • No. That is not my point. I said that the most important thing is making the boss think you are productive/busy, regardless of that actually being the case. A boss can’t and/or does not use objective data to assess productivity. At least I have never seen that anywhere.

    That does not mean that you do nothing. It just means that you can appear far more productive/busy/important/… when that is far from the truth.








  • What kind of work do you do that it is so easy to see what and how much someone actually does?

    For me, a new job could be a few hours or several days and I only truly know that when it is done and no further complications can pop up. For someone else doing the same thing, it could be the opposite (easy/fast vs slow/hard). Or it all hinges on one singular idea to solve some issue, so it could literally be a month without real progress and then it is solved within an hour.
