Nice! There’s never any guarantee that your employer will reward you for going above and beyond. Might as well do the bare minimum to get that paycheck and insurance and use your energy towards something you CAN control
Why don't you quit your job then? Typical toxic Blind answer. 🤡 take. SMH.
Ok
I concur with this 100%. It’s time everyone looks out for themselves.
This can definitely be true. At yahoo people works less than 15 hrs a week and earning > 250k
This should be common in most of the places when we look into real contribution.
Such top talent... at being lazy
Lazy? The guy’s running his own startup and doing well enough at his job to not get fired. He’s just not drinking that employer koolaid you are
If he gets his job done what's the problem? Many people make that much not working at all (passive income)
Devon wasn't working - that's the point. 🙄
It’s obviously google’s problem not this guy’s
Considering the fact he owns a startup, he’s likely Director level at FAANG but L3 on paper. He didn’t go for promos because wanted to continue working on his startup. We have a similar engineer on my team. L3 with 11 YoE, only works a little, and seems to be overemployed.
What does unemployed mean ? Is it that the engineer is working on multiple startups along with a full time job or I have mistaken the context
Do you know how hard it is to own a startup? It's extremely easy to own one, actually. To run a successful one takes a lot more work. Devon definitely didn't strike me as a successful entrepreneur - if anything, he's one probably of the many zillennials / trolls on here who wanted to get some attention - not caring if it's positive or negative. He probably said that because he didn't want to admit he was spending all day looking at P**nub, playing video games, or something equally useless. Pinchai really needs to clean house at this point. Call me a boomer if you want, but I see no logical reason to hire anyone full time to let them work one hour a week and definitely not at the quantities that they supposedly did. That was a bad business decision, to say the least. People aren't limited edition collectibles - more talent becomes available every day, so what's the point? @Accenture Overemplpyment is the concept of having multiple full-time jobs simultaneously. When WFH was prevalent, lots of people did that since they knew they could get away with it. Now, with the increase in RTO, it's going to be a lot harder going forward.
