I’m 43 and gradually coming around to the fact that as long as my managers aren’t actively talking to me about not doing enough, then I’m doing ok. It’s worked wonders for me being anxious that I’m not doing what’s expected of me.
It’s fine to do the bare minimum as long as you’re not fucking things up for your colleagues. You get paid to cover the minimum of your job description, not to work yourself to death.
I’m surrounded by young lads who think that working themselves to the bone is some kind of flex, or lazy pricks who give the others shit for not working hard enough.
These days I just crack on and do my thing. My manager is happy with my work, and I can sometimes spend a good five hours just scrolling the internet, looking busy.
Fuck I needed this. I am at the point where I am about to talk to a psychiatrist about this because I have such bad anxiety about whether I’m doing okay or not at work.
Working hard is for suckers.
Getting paid is what the whole song and dance is about.

We should have been taught this at 23 not FAFO 20 years to learn it.
Sucks to suck being a pleb I guess… “real” people made careers in the mean time.,
Isn’t it just.

Upper management potential spotted lol some people are born to win in this system…
Yeah, at some point, they can do but so much bullshit. If you do your job, adults aint got time to bullshit. People got kids lol.
