I've learned that it helps to have good relationships throughout the organization, not just with your direct manager. I don't feel the need to weigh in on every disagreement, and I avoid getting pulled into unnecessary drama. When something urgent needs help, I'll step up if I can actually deliver. The goal is simple: do good work, earn people's trust, and don't create problems for yourself.

@cf Thats the reality since day 1, and its just gotten worst. The incompetence is something special here. I outperformed 3 teams put the directors all in the same room and made them answer questions of why they couldn't do anything then watched them all blame each other and or sit there like crickets while refusing to do their gdmn jobs. I've never seen more pathetic leadership and even more pathetic performing people in my life at a job where mediocrity is accepted at this level.
@OP - Unfortunately, some leaders don't reward performance, they reward politics. They build inner circles, create unnecessary drama, block strong performers, and foster an "us vs. them" culture to protect their own position. In those environments, career growth has less to do with merit and more to do with navigating the games being played behind the scenes. That's the reality many employees are dealing with today
@OP This advice helps no one. Rebadging and layoffs are determined by outside consulting firms and senior management who are concerned only with their own welfare. Countless employees with many years of experience have either been let go or rebadged. Those who were rebadged lost severance, which should have been a reward for their years of service. They would have done good work and earned people’s trust, too. A lot of good that did for them.
I don't understand the hate for this post. Whether it's a good post or not
Sounds like a cuckboy doboy that relies on AI for every thought, action, argument, or actual work. Can't stand on his own 2 feet
Good boy, do boy, you're about as useless as the rest of them, useless passive aggressiveness that sit by and keep quiet when real challenges occur just buying your time like the rest of these cowards. . Go fck urself.
