No good deed goes unpunished. An interesting thing happens in the military. If you are too valuable at your job they won't let you go do the extra training that you need to get promoted faster. The shitbags that cause more work are sent instead.
We had a total shit bag in my unit and while we got to go do work, he was jumping out of a Black Hawk. When I was being processed out with a medical discharge, my life became so chill as they sent me to do the tasks they didn't want to send their capable people onto. My 8-10 hour days turned into 3-4 hours. If I wasn't being processed out, someone like that guy would have been doing it instead.
The military really does encourage being a shitbag.
I do not think that is unique to the military...
you mean you've gained bargaining power?
I left my last job and trained the guy that I wanted them to promote, but they needed a second person to replace me. I just heard they now have 3 people doing my job.
I was quite well paid (95k)but I'd rather get paid half as much now to leave work at work after 8 hours and never have work emails or calls or meetings on my own time ever again.
When everything runs smoothly thanks to your contribution it becomes the new norm. Then management expects things to just work that way and whoever they hire next is fucked.
Lucky them. My company is attempting the Jenga strategy. How many core people can leave without replacement before it all crumbles. They're absolutely confident they can just hire some people once it's clear that it's all falling apart and those people will be able to save the tower before it falls.
There's no way they're spending less on those three people than they spent on you.
Good for you for consciously deciding what you want your work-life balance to look like. But also remember this for salary negotiations: 3 people x 50k is 150k. And those three people also need time to coordinate among themselves. The value you were bringing to the company at that point was at least 200k.
Accidentally became important more expensive at work
Whatever you do don't let them see the fire of Kier in you!
Is this show any good?
very
It's fucking great.
It's fantastic
Personal opinion first season was very, very good.
Also personal opinion second season was more middling but had some high points, including the finale sort of wrapping up some of the weaker ideas.
Also, I am very biased because I have lived in the same areas as the creator of the show and there's endless local references that unless you've lived in many of the cities on the coast of Washington you wouldn't immediately recognize.
For example the big bad evil oligarch family is named after a local chain of burger places in the creators hometown.
You stop being able to fail upwards when you become too important to promote.
Look for another job ¡!!
