When I was younger I was a B, I would not promise too much, just to overdo it when it came to working. Now I just am a D, I just try my best since I found that it didn't pay off for me to work too hard.

It never does, just do what is required of you.

Also this would be a great poll. I pinned it to the top to get a response.

Yeah sure.

E. Underpromise and deliver

That's a good one. No going above and beyond.

Definitely B. I've found that overpromising is the root of most stresses and is actually a bad business step. People know if you're overpromising.

Yeah and most of us are tempted to overpromise.

I avoid overpromise cause I can't stand seeing the disappointment on people's faces

Worst part about being unemployed is the pity face everyone makes when you tell them. If I hear one more "don't worry you'll find something soon" I'm going to scream. Trying to be helpful is one thing but pitying me helps no one and makes me uncomfortable.
