nebula18702yI have seen one company that grows devs to then sell them to other companies.
taking the weird vibes of that apart, it is the closest I experienced tonthe thing you describe.
let me tell you what my father once told me.
if you have a company, you have multiple clients. If you are an employee, you only have one client.
That sentence has followed me ever since. Made me look different at this employer/employee game. I know this may be an unpopular opinion but:
you, and I mean only you, are responsible for your own relevance in order to sell your services. You may be able to negotiate some educational/ health stuff with your client/ employer - but you need to proactively ensure that.
Sorry if this may offend you in any way - be sure that it's not meant offensive. -
Root825992yNo. Personal growth and wealth is up to you and no one else.
If you want something, the best (and only) way to achieve it is to work at getting it. -
MLPops4072y@nebula not offended at all. In fact, your comment reflects what i thought too.
I just find it disgusting that companies always sweet talk as if they care. You throw facts in their face, they say you're out of line. -
Be your own boss - go freelance!
Then you can blame yourself if you treat yourself like shit. -
Nice.
Now accept you don’t owe them extra hours unless requested by mail and paid accordingly 😊 -
Gazotey542yI work at one that more or less fits that description and DevRant makes me realize just how rare and valuable that is...
Im 29... and I realize all the bosses I had never had my future in my best consideration.
Is there such a company that bets on the well being and the stability of their employees?
