it's just glorified Geek Squad right?
Everyone in HR should be making $0.
Then, you would probably die if you saw my paycheck. Of course, I just saved the company the equivalent of $40mil in new revenue, so I'd say I earned it this year.

I doubt you received anything proportionate to what you deserved.
. Also, what makes you think a computer system couldn't do all that?

I received my standard paycheck, and I will get a small % bump in my annual bonus. That's what I deserve. Finding ways to maximize company profit is part of my job, and I'm paid an appropriate wage to do that. Why would I deserve anything else?
Because if you saved the company $40mil (ESPECIALLY annually...) they can toss you a nice chunk of that to keep you motivated. It's a one time gift of like $500k-$1mil... imagine how much harder you'd work!
you can apply that logic to any job, Ive worked on projects that have landed us contracts in the 100s of millions and been a major contributer on projects that have saved the company 10s of millions anally.
you want to know what the project team got out of it? a polo shirt & a pat on the back saying good job. thats it
I think your poll sucks. We have auto mechanics in there.Seriously, most these guys get paid 9-12$ an hour.
Depends what branch of IT. Computer technician is a pretty simple job that idiots can do, I think a lot of them get paid too much.
Some programmers are fairly compensated even if they get 100k a year because these guys are working 60+ weeks and at home studying new languages and stuff like that. There is a reason that most software engineers are kids in their 20s with no obligations. Not many people can maintain that kind of time dedicated to their job if they want to have a life. Many move on by 10 years and go into something less demanding.
I'm a programmer. When I've worked in large organizations, it was essentially the easiest job in the world. Not literally (we did have tough technical challenges), but the management hierarchy rarely had any understanding of what you did or what it took to implement it, so you were magic to them.
It didn't help that there were few software engineering practices employed/enforced (remember, magic with little understanding of what the employees do), so most projects stumbled because of management issues and planning (or lack thereof) and not for technical or resource reasons. (although resources were frequently allocated incorrectly)
Essentially, there was barely any accountable and management was almost always impressed by even a small amount of progress. This is what it's like working at the ATTs and Verizons of the world, the big lumbering corporations that exist just to serve as a utility company with a locked in client base.
Now I work at a small software development/consulting firm (<20 people). Understanding of what the employees do is very high. Compensation is much higher. Expectations are much higher too, there's almost 0 downtime (even for water cooler talk), and in my first week I was asked how I felt about overtime. They asked because they over contacted me and now I was obligated to work what are essentially two full time positions. (temporarily, since one project is wrapping up in a month)
They love consulting work, because they're just paid for hours and expertise, so it's "easy money". Remember, it's those large ATT type companies that pay for this.
They're getting more into product development/contract work, because it's far more profitable, but it also means you have terms of success determined up front, so it's riskier too.

as a developer myself, asking how many hours the standard work week consists of is the #1 question i ask when interviewing. anything over 40 and i automatically pass at the opportunity. #2 question is often people are asked to work over 40 hours a week. if it's something that happens somewhat frequently (and to me, that means once every 2-3 months) that is another automatic pass by me.
That doesn't mean it is what you *deserved*. Although if you were giving them $10s of millions anally, I can see how they'd be a bit peeved
Yeah I ask how many hrs/wk and when I would be expected to start at work and leave (I.E core hours).
I don't mind working OT on ocassion but I won't do it all the time. And if there is an expected amount of OT /yr I am either paid hourly or that compensation is built into the package.
yeah same, i do ask if you get compensated for it IF there is ever a need for OT.
actually yesterday was the first time i've been at this company in over a year that i had to work outside of normal work hours. did 2 hours of work at home last night. going to be leaving around 2pm on friday because of it though.
Then, you would probably die if you saw my paycheck. Of course, I just saved the company the equivalent of $40mil in new revenue, so I'd say I earned it this year.
