For me:
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how hard you work, your going to get laid off either way.
Just showing up can sometimes make the difference.
Your not paid to be a software developer. Your being paid to be a problem solver.

Going “above and beyond” is pointless and will at best just get you more work for the same pay
Literally an hour ago my boss tells me he doesn’t think I’m working fast enough because things aren’t always getting finished. I tell him that six months ago the labour budget was reasonable and but now I have half as many hours to do the same amount of work.
He tells me it can’t be helped, the labour budget is what it is. I tell him that the work can’t be helped without more labour, because it is what it is.
Anyway, I guess what I learned on the job is if you use management’s own words against them you’ll get written up
WORK FASTER, PEON
yup, did it some time ago, boss yelled in a meeting, wrote an email ‘for confirmation of understanding’ with word for word, he did NOT like it. and ofc I did not understand what all the yelling was about.
Boss said, last year’s performance met expectations, so we are all not getting any bonus.
What?? Hold on. It’s a performance-based bonus. This directly translates to a bonus-based performance, effective immediately.
Fuck the company, I don’t work for peanuts.
