Then they will raise the bar and demand you match expectations every single period. But Frank next door doesn't have to.
You figure out the company should be playing Dominoes instead of Connect4 and nobody will believe you anyways.
Best way is smile and look busy.

Well, being the one that moves the most volume each year does have it's advantages.
My boss knows it, his boss knows it, and his bosses boss knows it.
At upper team meets another team lead told my boss he's lucky his stats look good because he has "the machine" in his team.
They can't ask me to do more when the second one in the list does half of what I do.
In fact, If i feel tired on a given day, i'll just let my boss know that i'll be working form home tomorrow.. which means slack day..
I'll be reachable but that's about the extend of any guarantees for that day.
he knows it, i know it.
Bonus time, well, Review is usually a 5 minute ordeal.
yeay you're still #1
yeay your bonus is fully funded at 110% (100% is 10% of my gross annual)
Keep it up
now let's go to lunch !
I can opt out of certain mandatory crap.. like trainings.
they wanted met to go to munich for 2 weeks and sit in a classroom.
I said no way blud, i hate travel, i hate being away from my kittycats at home. It gives me stress (not even lying).
They went, but it's mandatory.
I went, ok, then fire me
They went, well well, let's not rush into things.. But it's still mandatory everybody has to do it.
i went, well i can't, i have this ADHD sort of thing at trainings, just gimme the exam
but it's attached to the training
well detach it already.
So they did.
passed it on first go anyway. Without 2 weeks of training.
Actually, they should give me something like 5 days of vacation for that considering the amount of time i saved doing that crap.
