Low maintenance high trust will get taken advantage of and burned out without reward 9 times out of 10.

The middle management urge to create a box chart categorizing people is strong here. Who knew doing nothing and creating issues is worse than doing everything with no issoes

Most people don’t want to be managed, they want leadership.

These frameworks are ridiculous. New employees need support. Sometime they’re gonna need maintenance. If you don’t want maintenance then hire someone with more experience and more skills.

I was in the sweet spot and my manager hated it. She needed people to depend on her for everything. For her, the high cost asset was the sweet spot.

I live for being high maintenance and bringing high value. Stressing my manager out gets me higher than any drug out there. When I want a new job, I'll move into the low main/high value box for a bit, get the "omg you've improved so much" points and then leave to stress out a new manager.

I’m high trust and deliver results independently however, I can be a squeaky wheel because I want systemic issues to be fixed. I see issues, I report them, tell them how I would fix them, expect them to remove blockers. They don’t so I get frustrated (at it impacts my work and efficiency) so I ask again and again until I get tired, go quiet, disengage and eventually leave.

if you end up in the upper left corner you are NEVER getting a promotion cause they can never "afford to lose you right now" the best place to be is dead center on this chart

You spend a couple of years in the sweet spot, get nothing at all for your efforts and then end up as the ghost

Basically thw sweet spot saves the manager the efforts they are paid for as manager. 🤣 The sweet spot better be developing their own business.
