Of course you didn't. You used your time to promote yourself instead of doing what you were asked to do instead. That could have cost a promotion for your manager who could have promoted you.
We were migrating to Kubernetes from fixed hosts and had to buy the capacity. I just spent a day looking at our utilization and made a better decision about what instance type to use.
I don’t know you are downvoted. Aligning the personal interest vector with the companies interest vector is a huge problem that is usually underrepresented in NH comments.
Usually we only complain about the short sighting of the CEOs that prioritize short term stock gains over long term prosperity, but that also is just a specialized case of the success vector misalignment
I was trying to say that the employee tried to do what’s good for the company. However that backfired as his personal, and his manager’s, success vector are not aligned with the company’s. Hence although he did something that benefited the company it hurt his and his manager’s performance (exactly because they are not aligned with that of the company’s).
