I joined from the industry with few years of experience as a senior consultant. Initially, I was honest and realistic and would speak up if I felt deadlines or expectation were unrealistic. I learned this from my previous job where I was good at what I was doing and people respected me for that. In consulting, doesn’t matter how good you are unless you are Bezos/Gates good. They thought I was arrogant and put me under low performer list without any reason whatsoever. On records, the reason was - I had few areas of improvement. E.g. supply chain process, improve quality of work etc. I was shocked to say the least and from that day, I have been sucking up to not lose my job and things are fine now and they are fine with me. I now don’t do anything different from what I did when I joined but I suck up to my bosses and they all like it. All of this to pay my rent, loans and maintain my family.

Low performers have attitude problems and make things worse when they touch them.

Average keeps things floating. But won’t wow you. Low performers are detrimental to team/ processes.

Low performers bring people down

Average performer bill 50 hours/wk.
low performer only bill 45 hours/wk. đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł

Low performers refuse to work 80 hours a week. 🙄

Averages meet expectations but set boundaries which keep them from contributing too far beyond that. Lows almost meet expectations but always have an excuse or a reason why they can’t do what’s required of them.

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
