some people don’t want to climb the corporate ladder, even if they used to.

some people don’t want to go “above and beyond.”

some people want less responsibility, not more.

some people want to do the job they were hired to do and be done.

there is *nothing* wrong with this.

we need to normalize language like this. you don’t have to work 90 hours a week to be “dedicated.” you don’t have to love your job. you CAN be in it just for the paycheck. that’s literally what a job is: payment for services.

this rhetoric of “what success looks like” is a falsity we have been tricked into believing to maximize corporate profits. success looks different depending on who and when you ask… sometimes success is getting up in the morning, and sometimes it’s getting promoted. it’s all relative, and we need to remember that.

@triciakickssaas I agree....mostly. The trick, as I see it, is when your co-worker or workers, begin to out work or out hustle you on the job and the bosses are keen to that, you're going to either be passed up for any kind of raise/promotion or at the worst, let go because although you're "doing your job" you have now become expendable.

@VooduDrew oh, i know. fully aware that there are consequences - hence the "we need to make this normal" bit... i would like to see more managers rewarding behaviour that isn't corporate slaving
