>> I think we're mostly on the same page, it's just a matter of degrees.
Indeed.
Man, I hope we all get all more great managers. It makes a world of difference when you get one, it just feels so rare.
>> the kumara [2] never sings of its own sweetness
I really like that saying (Kumara also looks delicious). I feel like I've known a few people with that attitude, and it was always a pleasure working with them. It just sucks that they usually didn't get as far as they deserved. All in all, it (actively managing your career vs being humble and letting your work speak for itself) is a tough balance to keep. Worth the effort though.
Your replies help me remember that all the people in this employer-employee relationship are fully complex and rounded individuals. That's something i ought to remember more of the time, so thank you.
Maybe it all comes down to odds. How much can an employee leave to chance, to the good nature of his manager, the fairness of his company's performance review process?
