I work for megahyperglobalmega corporation. They worked me for three years of unpaid OT and bad raises. I spent years saving time and money by improving processes (I actually saved the work of 40 people (80,000hrs/yr) with one process). Then I got my raise of 4% and got wise to the game. They try to work me to death, I try to work as little as possible.

The big question is: How much of your time and effort does the company deserve for your salary? 75%? 80%? 110%? Nights, weekends, and holidays? Time away from your family? In when you have the flu?

I do my best thinking after 5. I create my best programs after 5. I come up with my best ideas after 5. The company doesn't deserve it.

Your best point is that you hate people who fake their way through their jobs. I agree.

Aren't people who fake their way through their jobs called managers?
