Wow, April's Fools Day has been rough.
- I am now officially out of a job. So, bad news. Nothing left to do but negotiate the severance pay, and it will be as low as it can get.
- Couple of days earlier, a head hunter I knew got in touch, so I will get back to him ASAP... So, good news.
- Also a couple of days ago, I realized my previous employer left quite a nice lump sum in an investment fund, so I am getting some extra €€€... Which is going to be needed until I get another job! 😋
And, to end this, a note to self: always always ALWAYS remember that neither HR nor your boss are your friends.
You are nothing but a number to them. And that number is the amount of money they pay you.
@ParadeGrotesque the number is the amount of value you deliver to the organization, which is necessarily higher than your pay (or why hire you)
Just remember that some people deliver very little value for a much, much higher pay than you will ever get.
@ParadeGrotesque if that were true then they would be replaced. this is a common misconception.
@ParadeGrotesque the peter principle doesn't stop someone who has risen to the level of incompetence to be detected and reassigned/dismissed.
@sneak
I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Peter Principle. 🤓
