Ques for management folks here

Lots of poor work just adds to pain for your coworkers and bosses, in reviewing it and fixing it. It also creates dissatisfaction for clients or other stakeholders if they end up receiving your poor quality work.

I prefer that my team members deliver solid quality work, that needs very little rework, whatever amount they are able to deliver. If amount of remaining work is high, I can always hire more people to do the additional work

But if a worker is delivering lots of poor quality work, it causes pain for everyone else, and I can't do much with the bad quality output. In that case, I have no choice but to fire the poor quality worker and replace them with someone better skilled 🤷‍♂️

If a task is done, the ticket is closed and overtime if American overlords realize poor quality of work due to regressions, American overlords will have a talk with the Indian slave manager, and the slave manager will put the slave-slave engineer in PIP.

So in the short term, in management's eyes scenario 1 is better, but if you plan to stay longer you will need to do a lot of work at average quality.

How you build your brand matters, nothing more nothing less. Build your own brand. Leaders should be able to trust you with the work assigned.

This will matter the most.

An employee who is desperate...

I have not yet become a manager but as per my experience I have seen the managers giving more importance to the employees who are showing the quantity but quality is “zero” but I am not in favour of this concept, I always believe in quality.
