Yeah. No. I don’t do five people’s jobs anymore —- which is what I did at past companies. But I do my job —- and more —- and I voluntarily take on more project

Yeah. No.
I don’t do five people’s jobs anymore —- which is what I did at past companies. But I do my job —- and more —- and I voluntarily take on more projects all the time. The difference is, I no longer put my job ahead of my health. I no longer go 18 months without vacation (I took my honeymoon 17 months after I got married. And when I got married, it was 3 days after speaking in Vegas — I was on a red—eye two days before my wedding — and I spoke at another conference two day after my wedding) and I no longer allow myself to be on-call at all hours of the day/night. The nature of my work has changed too — but even if it hadn’t, I still would have stopped.
The stuff I used to do didn’t make me a “better” employee. It’s not some badge of honor.
You don’t know me or my work ethic; to imply that because I no longer kill myself for a business that won’t kill itself in return, I’m not still a hard worker —- kindly fuck off.
Giving 100% != giving all of yourself to your job and employer.
- radiantswirl 8y agoHe never said you weren't a hard worker. He said you aren't giving 100%. And he's obviously right because you literally just wrote a comment articulating all the ways in which you no longer give 100% of yourself to your work. Not judging, I think you're smart for doing so, just pointing out the logical fallacy
