Why would I help my organizatiom reach its goals of the organization is not interested in helping me achieve mine
?
From my experience if you have a track record of doing a good job working autonomously and you can demonstrate that you contribute directly to the business's financial interests people just leave you alone and if they don't there is a good chance the boss's of those people will tell them "just leave him alone". Be someone's golden goose and in most organizations you can do whatever you want.
I understand your mentality from low wage workers but I dont understand it from people in software who clear anywhere from 100k to 700k a year.
Apart from that, doing a good job is a character thing. You should do a good job for yourself, not try to fit in with the slugs.
I figure people are motivated by different factors at work, in different proportions.
I could guess what you meant by that sentence, but I might get it wrong, and then where would we be.
But ok, are you meaning that sentance to suggest that what gets you going in the morning, what makes your job tolerable or pleasurable to you, is exclusively maximizing your income, and that you think this is the way everyone should be, because... uh... I'm still not sure how to relate that to your sentence/question/rhetorical question, honestly. Like, if your organization is interested in helping you achieve your goals, then are you motivated by something other than maximizing your income? Or still just by maximizing your income, either way? Are you telling us that your goals at a job consist of maximizing your income, and that's it? And this is true either way, regardless of whether the organization is interested in helping you achieve that?
If I work for a for-profit company you can't expect me to do extra work for free. If I wanted that type of life I would have gotte a job in another kind kf venture
Or is this a stupid question, because all jobs are equally intolerable to you, they all suck the same, there is nothing that makes one more tolerable or even pleasurable than another, at least not enough to matter, in your experience?
I'm just taking guesses.
I'm also curious how long you've been working in this field.
It's not that difficult. As I already said, if I didn't want money I would have worked as a volunteer or something
That probably describes many, most, or all people, but isn't an answer to the question I was curious about.
I am not sure why you are refusing to answer to my question while still engaging in the discussion, but I guess I should take it as an answer that, in fact, no, nothing at your job contributes to whether you find it more or less tolerable or even enjoyable than another, except how much you get paid?
I am also curious, although I assume you won't answer, whether you'd say you generally "like" your jobs or "hate" them, or just don't even think of them in those terms, or what. And still curious how many jobs you've had, and how long you've been working in the field.
