Someone’s acting their wage.
“Calculated Mediocrity” perfectly describes my career ambitions.
“Just enough to pass to the next level” was my objective throughout my studies. This expression perfectly describes what I should be doing for my current employer…
Made me think of this scene from Office Space
Exactly the same energy!
We know we should pay you more, and realize that you know it too.
Do you pay your employees fairly, or funnel all the wealth to the top and investors? Why the fuck would you expect anything other than mediocrity??
You get what you pay for
Sounds like upper management to me!
I’d frame that. Hard to think of a compliment that tops that to be honest
That’s because my pay is calculated poverty.
sounds like the perfect amount of effort for a shitty paycheck that you still need. just enough to keep the job and stay out of ‘trouble’, but not so much that more is expected.
but not so much that more is expected.
This is my problem, I’ve been plagued with the curse of competence and an inability to keep my mouth shut. This leads me to accidentally volunteer for seemingly easy tasks that ‘only require a bit of automation…’ and I lose weeks of time.
My current task is outside of the bounds of this chart (monthly task that would take days to do manually, down to a handful of hours). What do?
Automate it and tell NO ONE. Let them think it still takes days.
Think of employees as independent corporations. They provide a service that aligns with their investors needs. Their investors are themselves, their friends, their families. Calculated mediocrity sounds like good business depending on what they’re getting paid.
I think the term they are looking for is “proportional”
My career path has been spectacularly De-railed by a series of company failures.
Now I drive a forklift.
Calculated mediocrity is my middle name!
Hey, that sounds like exactly what I aim for at my work!
Is that another way of saying
Ungrateful Slave…?
