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.

    *You’re. I’m sorry for being that guy, but you’ve made that mistake three times.

    Anyways, it is never worth being the hard-working type. I’ve learned the lesson that once you prove to be reliable, management is going to gravitate towards you and work you to death. That means, they’ll want you always helping others, they want you in multiple departments, they want you doing extra tasks on top of everything you do.

    So, don’t be reliable. Just do what you can and call it a day. Don’t over-achieve, especially if the company-related rewards aren’t worth it.
