The article strikes a difference between promoting yourself, and what they are calling 'loud laborers'. It sounds like the latter are the type of people that are ineffective in their role, but constantly broadcast their intention to do something, or that they are doing something, or that they were about to do something. I've worked with these types of people before and they are supremely irritating.
- rqtwteye 3y agoI agree these people are irritating but when I look at the people that move up on my org it’s mostly “loud laborers“. They jump on a lot of initiatives championed by upper management, achieve nothing but in the end upper management and the loud laborer present the whole thing as huge success. I have seen that multiple times.
- hashtag-til 3y agoI read the other day something that made a lot of sense, which was along the lines that "people making the real decisions about salaries and promotions are managers, so it explains why highly aligned 'managerial' types get the best benefits". It's huge flaw in the system, but not sure how to fix.
- ryandrake 3y agoI've seen people build entire careers on simply figuring out what project is favored by upper management and doing everything they can (short of actual work) to associate their names with that project.
