looks like a few of our satellite offices have had singular cases as they try to reopen so they are telling everyone to stay home still our boss told us to not even bother coming in originally so its both a relief but also no change for us

luckily for me I’ve already saved my company multiples of my salary and am on track for waaaaaayyyyyyy more. edit: as in luckily for me as far as imposter syndrome and affirming my desire for more capital. I’d much rather make far less, and pay way more in taxes for a robust social safety net so I could stop serving the whims of idiots.

sales: I closed this killer sales contract that generates 5 mil in new business revenue - so of course I get a 10% commission for the year and maybe some residuals eng: I edited some obscure config file no one understands and now we have 20 mil per year less in infrastructure costs - so maybe if I keep at it I can cite that when I apply for a promotion with a 20k/year salary bump

the guy sitting beside me was the product manager for a single product that generated $100m in revenue in the first year and created an entire new product category for us and they gave him a letter thanking him for his hard work and increased his annual bonus from 5% to 6%. probably none of the other people working in the project got any bonus at all.
