My attitude toward this job has changed completely. I still care about doing things properly, but I don't have the energy to chase approval or get involved in workplace politics. I come in, do what I'm responsible for, and make sure my work is good. That's enough for me now.

I was asked to come up with an inspirational quote. Ummmmm.. I tried to come up with one, but the only thing I could think of was "keep calm and carry on." It sounds like it's about persevering without stressing, but I don't think that's what they were looking for. I started trying to think of something else, and then I thought, what on earth am I doing? They gave me an exit date of 11/2027. I thanked them for reaching out and let them know I'd prefer to pass this opportunity to someone else.
I'm impressed.
Those of us who are happy here do the same. Sometimes the highest performing folks don’t want the spotlight and don’t care to get involved in the social gatherings or “travels”. We do our thing. I just hope management sees us cause it is their loss lot ours if they deem us expendable.
