Average bosses hate high performers. They prefer playing politics and covering up their flaws instead of rising to the challenge.

high performance employees are not hard to manage, they solve problems not create them. hard to manage employees are just problems who think they're high performance.

“High performers” are often masters at claiming credit and moving on, leaving the real and difficult work to the completer-finishers… so beware difference between high performers and “high performers”

I left a job because the managers hid exactly behind phrases just like that, not calling lazy people up on poor performance

My “high performer” coworker got sent home and put on leave because because she brought up legitimate issues that weren’t being addressed and we work in healthcare

My toxit trait is thinking if I just send this to my boss she will have an epiphany and change her ways.😂

The discomfort generated by highly competent, high-performing people gets us fired, just to keep those who do nothing but are everyone's friends. Results don't matter.

I’m being completely GASLIT for being a high performer for asking questions, clear expectations and processes. And when I bring ideas…shutdown

I've seen ineffective leaders lose it because their high performers are offering input and are challenging the effectiveness of a process

most importantly: don't try having a "discussion" with a predetermined outcome. that's completely wasted time.

I’m a high performer. The truth is we don’t expect you know everything, or are even very good at your role. Just don’t take short cuts, lie, or ignore us. Just put in a bit of effort. Your job is to provide direction and to remove obsticals. Just do that. Leave your ego at home.

I literally tone myself down and will adjust how I behave in a job based on my management. I'll see what happens in the first month with managers, and if they dislike that I ask for clarity and feedback, then I won't be putting in my highest effort cause my middle of the road is still other people's best.

I used to be a high performer now I’m climbing down the ladder, at 60+ I don’t tolerate people’s nonsense anymore, there’s nothing to gain from being a high performer, your only reward is kidding the lazy coworkers extra work to do, and the occasional gratuitous pizza party for your hard work and effort🤦♂️

I’m a high performer at work and I got leadership that respects that. I’ve got a lot of responsibilities outside my job description and my leaders bounce ideas off me if they need a second opinion. I also have free rain on shifts where are aren’t specific tasks needs doing as they know I won’t slack off and do a lot of «invisible work» as we call it. Been told that if my health had allowed me to work fulltime I would have been put on a leadership course.

Couldn't agree more... "We're all doing our best" and other such meaningless platitudes make my blood boil!! Would much prefer (and have more respect for you) if you say you don't have the answers right now, ask for ideas to be shared, and tell you exactly when they'll come back to you. Honesty, integrity, and openness go a long way in my book!!

yep, happened to me, the disillusionment hit hard cuz I respected my immediate boss and I loved my job. but I am working for my own professional growth now and simply ignore my managers. if they don't try to micromanage me, we'll be fine, but the respect is indeed lost and there's no going back on that.

English isn’t my first language but..in my workplace the 3 bosses I have changed few months ago and they are systematically taking away from us high performers the tasks we used to manage even if it wasn’t strictly our job. Even if we are good at it and still our main tasks are perfectly executed. Whenever we ask for some explanation (about procedures, rules, timetables) they’re never clear and get mad really fast if we insist. Last meeting they almost threatened us to send warning letters if we keep on questioning everything. The result is a bunch of people who once was a high performing team who now has sleeping problems or stomachaches just because of this toxic work environment.
