I once took on extra projects, stayed late, and went all in because I really wanted to show commitment. I thought it would be noticed and appreciated but instead, it became the new expectation. No recognition, just more work. That was the moment I learned that "going above and beyond" doesn’t always pay off. Has going above and beyond ever backfired on you too? please share your experience.

It is actually tough when effort turns invisible, and I now realize I had set standard that is hard for me to maintain. It really taught me the importance of setting boundaries early, because everything I have done didn't eventually pay off.

Yes it occurred to me when i first started a job and i confronted that to my manager and wver since i have been putting everything in my yearly performance review

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
