So, this happened during appraisal season a few months ago. HR told me that I didn’t deserve a good raise because apparently, all I did throughout the year was “bug fixes and improvements.” They said I hadn’t delivered many features, and features are what “actually matter” for a raise. 🤦‍♂️

Well, fast forward to now. Since I got the hint, I’ve been focusing on feature development only—just like they wanted. You know what I’m not doing anymore? Improving and maintaining their system. And guess what? Their software is breaking down more and more, becoming harder to use, with all sorts of bugs they conveniently ignored.

HR recently complained, saying things weren’t working properly. All I could do was smile and remind them that “I’m focused on the features now, just like you said.” It’s funny how suddenly bug fixes and improvements seem important again. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe this will teach them not to undervalue the importance of maintenance next time.
