[quote]It's the retention penalty. Allow yourself to be retained, be penalized.
Too many employers don't even try to keep people, they just keep serving the same dog food and figure 'the people who leave were going to leave anyway' and also 'the people who stay would never dare leave so we only have to feed them dog food'.
I have some tentative concerns my employer thinks this way.
When this happens the only way to be treated well is to move on. Or get used to risk aversion dog food. sigh[/quote]
In the case of my current employer, we have employees,and then there are people like me, who are basically exempt from rules like overtime restrictìons, tardyness,etc someone once told me, they overheard the HR lady tell off a complaining employyee about me that a) i will never be fired because there is exactly two other people there who can do what i do... and one of them is the CEO.
Im also one of the fee people there that has 24hr access to the building- i can (and have) shown up there in the middle of the night to make parts. Ive never even gotten questioned after doing this.
I just wish the goddamn commute didnt suck so bad, and i actually had parking
