i'm not sure about that whole team bandi thing but if you want a well paying job in the USA you better expect that you will be working late and working weekends.

That is absolutely bs. Read my post above.

i'd actually say your post is BS.  performance is always constantly evaluated and putting in a 35-40 hour week when everyone around you is doing more puts you at the bottom of the list of valuable assets or alternatively, at the top of the list of people fired.

Considering I've always been a top peformer in work, won tons of awards, merit $ bonuses, yearly bonuses, raises, higher than average yearly % increases... I think you're simply in the wrong company.

I'm going to agree with you.

Most people don't understand that software is an area where depending on the skills of the persons, the productivity and the quality of the work performed can vary greatly and most of it has little to do with the time actually spent...( don't ask me to build the architecture of a complex product, but give a bugged software and I will find and fix the bug faster than most , even if I don't know the code at all, same if you ask me to improve the performance of a piece of code, a lot of it has to do with intuition and it's not something you teach or learn...).
