Tl;dr you have to be grifter-grinder and disregard all the “important” bullshit of mentoring, interviewing, training as only shipping will give you a slight chance of promotion.

- saagarjha 2y agoThat’s definitely not true, you can do both.
- wiseowise 2y agoOnly one of them will lead you to promo. If you want to do double amount of work for nothing - that’s your right.
- saagarjha 2y agoIf you want to self-identify as a grifter-grinder that’s also your right…?
- wiseowise 2y agoNot how I identify myself, but sure. What’s your point?
- saagarjha 2y agoMy point is that if you want every single thing you do at work to be the bare minimum to get promoted then you are welcome to do that. Others don't necessarily feel that way.
- SR2Z 2y agoAnd those people get promoted entirely of the luck of having a decent manager. Everyone else who has a mediocre manager will end up spinning their wheels and wondering why they're not getting promoted.
