I am a people pleaser and believe relationships can get you further at work. Do you agree? If so, do you have a strategy or are you genuinely invested?

Only matters to the extent you create value. Getting too cozy for no reason makes you seem like a snake

Yeah I think that friendliness for the sake of friendliness doesn't go over very well for people in our industry. We can sniff out the BS fairly easily and to me, it seems very toxic to try to be best friends with everyone

I wouldn’t say being a people pleaser is helpful, but being someone who people enjoy being around (positive attitudes in tough times, staying true to your word on when you’ll get things done, providing additional value to those in need) - will hold some weight

There's obvious advantage in being personable and not coming off as a lone wolf. But I'm not sure fitting the definition of a people pleaser is a good strategy by any stretch. I just have a negative connotation of that. I think having a network of friends and acquaintances will always serve you well, but coming off as too accommodating will work against you.

Every time you try to please people, think whether you're prioritizing yourself or not.You will get your answer

IMO - Anyone I’ve seen who needs to people please either has mommy/daddy issues which results in major insecurities or is making up for something they lack (I.e. competent). If the ladder, flattening is happening right now and get ready for that RIF. Again, just my opinion. But hey, keep on going and brown nose away.
