I used to think salary increments were great but those get you fired eventually...because you are "too costly" yet THEY offered the increment and signed off on it....The food was great..amazing chef but costly endeavour...why do you complain about burn rate on powerpoint slides yet you know very well you dont need the extra office space, Watamu(IYKYK) was working just fine and Oh.......10X engineers when we all know that we have several kenyans who can do a better job at a third of that pay..Ruby on rails is not mandarin...just javascript on steroids..even kids learn that this days :) It is the lack of strategic thinking that puzzles me however... 1. Why do engineers earn 500k plus, similar to some companies listed in the New York stock market, yet in other organizations..people developing the SAME product earn way less.. 2. Why do you stereotype people? Do you need people who get meaningful work done or people who vybe with you... 3.Why is management so ignorant to how KPIs are met..50,000 users..I mean c'mon dont get me started on the targets that got people doing self signups for clients using their own phones just so that they can be the better "pod" . The number of fake IDs and phone numbers on that platform lol...its a syndicate not a start up. Anyway, good luck.
