In your experience, is "Going above and beyond" rewarded by your company? Or is it taken for granted?

I’d say it’s usually recognized but only occasionally rewarded.

Neither. Usually just raises the bar higher with little to no benefit. If anything, you put a target on your back signaling you're easily exploited.

Be wary if "going above and beyond" ever becomes an expectation.

I’m only interested in going above and beyond if the reward is a promotion. I feel like I’m basically setting everyone up to expect a caliber work from me that is above my pay/level? I’m scamming myself.

Everyone wins if I simply meet expectations.

It’s definitely rewarded and recognized but often the reward is not worth the work

I say it depends.. is that the standard or expectation or not…

Depends how you define it. Going above and beyond the average employee at the firm versus the average employee in industry is going to look different.

Depends but overall, I’d say no.

Recognized, but usually not worth the effort. Working 25% harder for a year won't get you a 25% bonus, raise or promo, for example.

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
