I agree with this so much. Too less Glue work for staff+ will get you “Not performing at a Staff level PIP. Do too much Glue Work, you’re suddenly get compared to Senior productivity. You’re on a fast track to PIP unless your manager and your skip likes you. Because doing just the right amount of Glue Work is impossible because the standards are subjective.

I would rather get an anal probe with a cactus than ever go back to BigTech or any large company.

I’m 50 and I just don’t have the shit tolerance to put up with the politics.

I know what my responsibilities and expectations are as a “staff” and as long as my clients (cloud consulting) are happy and the projects I’m leading are done, on time, on budget and meets requirements, everyone is happy.

There is a clear dollar amount assigned to my work and downstream revenue.
