Ever heard of a high maintenance wife or girlfriend? You know that means they are a nightmare, ten to throw tantrums and have to have everything on a silver platter. Some Boyfreinds and Husbands are like that too...
Low maintenance means a person can do their job with little instruction and doesn't cause problems for anyone else. No silver platters required.

It means that they do not require micromanagement, the boss doesn't have to spend a lot of time rechecking their work, making sure they get it done, the employee is not causing problems in the office or issuing a lot of complaints so the manager has to deal with that.
Generally, it's a compliment to be told you are a low maintenance employee.

I have never heard of an employee described as low maintenance but there is a first for everything. I would assume it is a good thing and means that the employee does not need extra attention and is self motivated.

Touche would be an excellent response. In fencing there is thrust and parry and the point is scored with a legal touch. That doesn't mean you won the match but recognition that your excellent response resulted in a point. Touched love would be love returned or an excellent response to being loved.

It means he can depend on you to get the job done without having to check up on you. He knows that you have common sense and will ask questions when needed and won't mess things up or procrastinate.
A high-maintenance person is flighty and needs someone to constantly check on them to keep them on schedule.

You must be a very good worker.
"Low maintenance" means he is happy with you because you do your job without much coaching and follow-up.
Its good to be reffered to as "low maintenance"

It's a compliment. It means that you're sellf-sufficient and require little supervision or hand-holding to get the job done. Congratulations.

It means that you take all the junk your manager gives you and like it. It means that you will do what ever the manager wants and you don't take up his/her time. Not a bad comment if you like your job and get paid well to do it.
