From my experience here, I would advise everyone to work the bare minimum. The more effort you put in, the more work you will have, and no one here will truly appreciate your efforts. Eventually you will become too expensive for the company and they will show you the door. I really don't know anyone whose hard work has really been valued here?

Depends on what impact bare minimum has on your teammates. If they are all doing more than bare minimum you will stick out very quickly and end up on the radar. I would instead suggest a follow the rate of the pack mentality, but be the weakest member. it won't get you any praise or much appreciation but it will accomplish whatever goal you are trying to achieve.
Do as little as possible. Intentional slowness, obscessive following rules, feigning ignorance etc. It’s a deranged game, win it Bros
This is so true! I'm a long time employee here and also the departments top performer. I'm 100 percent positive my pay is less than everyone else's at same grade level, but yet I'm expected to do more because I'm capable and others coast because they're not held to expectations. Company is total joke preaching pay for performance
Do as little as possible, collect the dough, and bleep those vile companies.
@3wll+1gAkJDik - I know who you are! The new system you were in charge of is a POS because you didn't set it up correctly to begin with......
Learn enough about what is done, then start your own small business, use AI and start taking business away..... just a matter of time.
@3odz+1gAkJDik - Foreign labor is cheap. Smart business.
Why are Americans being replaced by foreigners?! Why doesn’t the US empire protect its tax and debt slaves (“citizens”)?
I made enough to retire, so I phased myself out over one year. To replace me they hired a dev team in India including manager, a local manager to manage them, a QA manager, a QA team and a project manager. This was for just one of my projects, the biggest. I wanted to stay until they released a new version so I know things would be okay, but couldn’t wait any longer. As far as I understand, no new version has been released after a half a year. It is pretty much a quagmire of meetings and hopelessness. Needless to say, I do not recommend you work here for your own sanity.
Amen! I used to put in 110% all the time and watched my half a**ed coworkers get bravos for the one time they did their job. I decided to put in a minimal effort and got a promotion. Do not work harder than you want to and definitely do not work more than 40 hours a week if you're salary.
The string will stretch until your job can go to India.
Become too expensive? That's a tough thought at only 1-2% merit increase every year. I feel like that's how they keep stringing everyone along.
100% correctamundo.
Do bare minimum. Good work means more work with NO extra pay. Say no to American exploitation
