You clearly are a low-paid widget-maker or just a drone.
You have no idea how the real world of technology works. I am measured on what I do, not where or even when. As long as I meet the deadlines and deliverables who cares if I did it at midnight while watching cartoons in my living room?
As for the woman you are so jealous of, what business is it of yours how much she made or how she made it? She convinced someone she was providing VALUE and worked out an accommodation perceived as worthwhile to her company.
You are one tiny-minded, jealous, control freak!
ROFLMAO!
Do you always take verything so personally?
Both my wife and I have been on both ends of that equation.
It is my opinion she has control issues and suffers from Napolean traits. Generally the type that is Hired as CEOs now days. Screw the workers, screw the customers, just make damned sure the stocks stay worthy. Oh and by the way make sure you fix yourself up with a Golden Parachute that is absent any failure to perform on her part requirements.
Of course in her self absorbed world, She is the ONLY one that is important. Therefore she will do as she damned well pleases. She will move on after she destroys this company to the next Host she can bleed dry.
“You are one tiny-minded, jealous, control freak!”
I agree with you completely. My daughter-in-law is a marketing manager for a well known Silicon Valley company. She has her three children in school/day care and works from home utilizing amazing computer connectivity. Like you pointed out, the measure of success is deliverables. She is highly regarded by the VP for whom she works. Sure, some people skive off in this environment, but they don’t get away with it if they are being effectively managed. They have a minimum of meetings which require her to actually go to the office. Personally, I found going to the office and the phalanx of required “meetings” an artifact of “peter principal” leaders who needed to have their hands held in the decision making process. Too many meetings are indicative of poor leaders.
Ouch! But you are correct. I work on projects in up to 5 different states, all from my desk in PDX. I could easily do my job from home, and hope to do so soon. An occasional office visit for meetings is all that is really required of me. I’m salaried so if I work 40 or 60 it does not matter as long as the work gets done!
freedumb, you make a nice point about people who work independently like yourself...not sure how CityCenter deserves the rest of the comment. CityCenter just seems to be offering a different perspective based on his view of the world.
I care. I would fire your butt in heartbeat for that kind of attitude. Beat it troll.
