You should realize that the trolley was never a trolley. I don't know you but I will take a guess that you're young and on the initial ramp up in your career?

You should realize that the trolley was never a trolley. I don't know you but I will take a guess that you're young and on the initial ramp up in your career? HN is certainly filled with high competent high achievers. That's not the case for everybody though. Many employees are happy to chug along and get a regular paycheck, doing work but preferably not too much work. Either way, careers will slow down significantly after a decade (if you go up aggressively enough), you're senior and paid relatively well, there is no easy path up anymore. You don't mind much whether you will get this year's award and 5% raise that comes with it, that's no factor in deciding what to do of your life and where to work.
