That's actually a great point and a downside to extra work. Maybe the middle ground would be to do extra work for fun and not bring it up, or just finish work early and work on something altogether separate on the side?
- handrous 5y agoDo extra work, and do present it, but pretend it only took 30 minutes when it actually took five hours. Congrats, now you get credit for the extra work and you're a "10x rockstar".
- vkou 5y agoYes, and the next time a 50-hour task comes up, they'll expect you to do it by tomorrow. The problem with faking your way into being a 10x rockstar is that expectations grow faster than compensation. The other problem is that if you can't sustain the pace, you're going to burn out and your life will be utter crap.
- handrous 5y agoI'm pretty sure you're supposed to catapult into doing training and speaking stuff, and "leadership" roles that have you writing blog posts and attending meetings all day while taking credit for what your team is doing, after faking your way to a "10x" reputation.
- taneq 5y agoEither I, too, faked my way into being a 10x rockstar, or expectations always grow faster than compensation.
- vkou 5y ago> expectations always grow faster than compensation They always do, especially if you never switch jobs, but there's no need to unsustainably accelerate this process. Do good work, don't burn out, get paid. Keep things simple.
- zhte415 5y agoNo. Sometimes something just does work out faster, so explain that. Spend a little longer anyway as if something is vastly faster than expectations then perhaps something's been missed. Then when still presenting it faster, explain that it was faster than planned and shouldn't be taken for granted.
