@anderseknert end result: after 10 days my contract was terminated because I was incapable to fix all the bugs in the “after-midnight-written” code of mine.

(the only funny side note is, as the bug fixing speed dropped even further after I left the customer, the project manager got fired too for firing me, ah, the joys of industry gossip.)

So kids: keep your output consistent, there are generally NO business procedures to reward substantially an excellent worker.

@anderseknert Sorry for the typo in the last paragraph, but it should be clear.

Businesses in general do not reward excellent workers, nor do they have in general business processes to do so.

At best, you can expect that bad workers might be let go.

And yes, the reality is, if you are not in a strongly unionized place, expect real wage losses if you stay for longer in a job, even if you are a great employee.
