HELL YES.

I went full Peter in my former career. I started working back of house at a restaurant and rode my apathy all the way off the line and to manager of the whole place.

The entire time my attitude was to ignore the customers and just have as much fun during my shift as I could. Come in late, leave early.

I’m not sure what the hell the owners saw in me. But I was promoted over and over.

I’m trying it again at my agency. It’s not working out.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
