Have you ever been paid for eating lunch, drinking coffee or going to the bathroom?

Management is not required to keep me happy, but I'm also not required to work there.

The only thing management can do to "keep me happy" is to pay me market value and keep me on new technology so I can stay employable. If neither of those are true, I don't stay there.

I don't socialize at work to gain friends, I socialize to gain allies. I've had 5 jobs over 10 years.
