@corporatedropout_mom: Have you ever been a high performer who has just had enough? Delayed promotions. Unmanageable workloads. No raises. Incompetent managers. All of the sudden being a low performer starts to seem like the best option. Get ready though high performers are wired a certain way and it is a struggle to get to the low performer stage. Take a look. #corporatelife #workhumor #officehumor #worklife #highperformer
The 1st time I was passed up, I stayed and worked harder. the 2nd time, I quit. I'm not wasting my life on dangling carrots.

If working harder doesn’t get rewarded, working less shouldn’t get penalized.

I fell for it. Being told to say yes to everything, network, projects, travel, and rejected for under experienced externals. 8 years and at the same grade level. And always told they’re prepping me for the next level… I’ve been at every stage of grief and finally understand that it is all performance

The “worked harder after being passed over” part hits because so many high performers have treated burnout like a strategy 😮💨 When did you realize effort alone wasn’t going to fix the system?

I just started giving them c+ work. They complain about it but I don’t care. If they don’t like my productivity they can fire me and my happy clappy butt will live on unemployment and savings and heal while we find a new job.

When it gets to the point that I am physically ill at work and praying for death just to avoid going in and the therapist says to run, it’s probably time to run. The struggle is just finding a new job in this market. 😭
