I saw the datacenter engineers at work for Twitter, they do fck all and get a handsome reward scanning barcodes and rolling racks around
Freeloaders have always existed, getting their position thanks to their connections and not their effort. It isn't something new and other work is being done that could be shared. A few people are working hard while a bunch of others pray on them for a paycheck. Haha, and my other post got flagged, ha, that's the pettiness in action.
If this is you, then I don't think you want to view it from the other perspective. Somebody is working really hard to get things done and a bunch of others jump in at the last minute to grab some credit, then go back to doing nothing. Or worse still, back to undermining the hardest workers out of promotions and recognition for not being "a team player"
They have everything to lose if they don't defend this attitude, but you have everything to gain if you start realizing your worth
Trying to time a parachute into a not super terrible market isn’t the worst idea. Plus usually the first and second round are the most generous. As belt tightening gets worse and the PR isn’t as bad expect worse benefits.
