    Every job I’ve ever had. I do good work so I succeed but if I don’t get promoted out of it I’m always forced to find a different job eventually to reset my workload. This is also how I get more significant pay raises though so it works out.

      I learned my lesson, and from day 1 at my current job I held myself back. If I could do something in an hour, I took 3, and if I found a new way of doing things that speeds things up, I kept it to myself. For the first time in my life, I’ve managed to keep a normal workload and not get burned out with an ever-moving goalpost every time I exceed my manager’s expectations. I thought it might put a target on my back when it came to layoffs, but at least for now it seems that my manager appreciates that he knows exactly how much work I can do in a week, and I get good yearly reviews and fair raises.

    Reminder that if you do not get a raise each year equal to the rate of inflation, you have effectively taken a pay cut.

    The amount of work checks out, 7 work in the first frames, and then 7 are added, to have 14 work in the final frame.
    An important detail IMO. It would have bothered me for the rest of the day otherwise. 🤣🤣🤣

    Have you thought about… training AI to do your job so that I can fire you sooner? Yeah, that would be great 👍.

    There’s a missing panel where the off-comic other employee is laid off, which is where the additional work comes from.

    managers are the successors of slave drivers. responsible for overseeing the workers do a good job.
