![]() You don't get tired doing one repetitive thing,' she told them.". 'It's perfect because it breaks down your shift. Why does Trader Joe's do it? To keep things interesting: "She tells Money that the change in jobs during shifts helps to keep things interesting for employees. That was a surprise to me when I long ago worked in a grocery store, I was assigned to one position for 8 hours for every shift. It turns out they change jobs every hour. I was chatting with a Trader Joe's cashier Sunday. If your data is accurate, I think it's better to say, "Most companies create developer jobs that get boring for people after 24-36 months." I would look at inverting the causality there. so I pay them less, regardless of whatever objective measure of impact may exist. What I do know is that it's much easier for me to hire a competent lawyer or UX designer than it is to hire a competent software developer and there are many more competent lawyers and designers out there. For example, I genuinely don't know if software developers have more of an impact than the product designers, or the legal department even though I pay software developers much much more. I don't presume to have such a system so I pay based on what I observe in the market and let the market decide what the value is of software developers. This blog post mentions a kind of impact based compensation structure, and while I can respect the idea behind it, I am skeptical that they've managed to find a deterministic and impartial way of measuring "impact". ![]() After that the vast majority of people just stagnate, get complacent, the job stops being interesting to them and they move on.Īfter observing this I don't really mind hiring people to work for 2-3 years and then have them move on to another role, and most people I hire I do so with the expectation that I'll get a good two years of work and not much more.Ī very small percentage of people continue to improve over the long term, and those people I am happy to continue increasing their pay, but I don't really go out of my way to retain employees and I don't think it's particularly worth it to do so. in my experience most developers do their best work after about 6-8 months of starting a job at a new company, and that comes to an end after about 24-36 months of working at the same company. To chime in with my own anecdotal opinion that is likely to anger some people.
