I've come to learn as long as you perform 10% better than the person next to you, you'll get promoted. And the person next to you most likely has a brain made of tapioca.

It's all about how the managers see you personally. The wage hierarchy is a social club. You can have shit KPIs but if you consistently yuck it up with the boss or volunteer to put out fires while others keep their head down, you will fly past them, even if they outperform you on hard metrics.

Meritocracy and hard work are scams to keep people on the lower rungs. Management promotes the people they like, they aren't robots. Any stories your grandpa told you about how he got promoted from janitor to manager because of hard work are bullshit, he got promoted because he was a drinking or golfing buddy with the owner.

I don't do any of that tho. There are a lot of other people ready to jump on the first opportunity to suck the boss up. I'm literally the first to leave every get together.
Besides, the three people that decided to promote me are women so i'm clueless on how to interact with them beyond my scripted 10 minute small talk because i'm a loser.

this. it's all about politics. how much ass can you kiss? most qualified? doesn't matter, if you aren't a brown noser, you ain't getting promoted.

This. Never underestimate just how incompetent people are. Your bare minimum might result in you more getting done than these mouth breathers.

This is the garbage that weak or unambitious people like to use as their excuse for going nowhere, or those who lack social skills to avoid their co-workers feeling unsafe in the same room as them.

However I will give this anon one thing right; working stupid hours at a lowly job thinking you will be rewarded is also dumb, as bosses benefit from not promoting you to avoid having to worry about a lazier replacement.

It is that easy. I've been getting above inflation raises every year with this in the past 5 years. If they ever refuse i will just take the next offer I get elsewhere.

It's actually laughable how much little work is done by these "people". It's all adult daycare. This neoliberal womanized society is going to crash and burn.

Thats me, I went up a management level taking a job from a maternity leaver. It's crazy how women can be all up in arms about being allowed important management positions then say "cya!" because they're literal babymakers.

Anyway, I don't do shit, get paid, told I'm a good boy. Who the fuck cares.

Until now, a new VP got hired and he's restructuring a lot, my job has changed twice, my ceo is pep talking me telling me I'm great, VP is saying "bear with us while we change some things". While I'm just sitting around collecting a paycheck, what the fuck is this? I actually feel uneasy now, thinkinf of finding a new job.

Red pilled, Chads

>>53134527
The Red pill is little more nuanced
putting out fires here and there rather than head down focus on the assigned task is strategy but
from the outside, workers drunk on le hard
work kool aid view it as ass kissing.
Yucking it up with the boss is strategy but from the outside looking in it appears like ass kissing.

Honestly, I'm a grad student, but I agree. Prof assigned us a project that everyone seemed to be pissed about, and doing it properly would take me weeks, so I just decided I'd spend a couple days on it and phone it in and get a B or C since I know I'm at least average. I felt like garbage when I turned it in knowing that I hardly understood what I wrote. Got a perfect score, likely not because I did a good job but because everyone else did so shit. I am optimistic about the future.
