As someone working on an IT program with like 200+ tech people, I would say a small minority of the workforce does most of the work.

As a up and coming artist. This teaches me the true importance of persistence. Do so much work somebody has to love something.

This really confirms the common saying "winners win and losers lose" love it.

This was my issues with the military.
Promotion is not rewarded based on genius or productivity but rather the best brown nose. Then after being an employee for 14 years I started my own business in 84. I witnessed this same thing again and hated working with leaners and dragasses. The one exception to the rule I noticed was individuals who were not only exceptional in trades but also really well liked by most employees. What JP puts forth here is very interesting.

Promoted to the level of incompetence is real. Unfortunately many don't want to even put in 1%. Our society doesn't realize how much harder things might get now.

I once worked for a corporation in the west, who's employees (white collar) asked me to quit my job, because I was so productive, it made them look bad. I told them to start working for a living.

It's a blessing and a curse to be one of the few productive people on a job the blessing is you have a good work ethic and it gets noticed and the curse is its expected of you to carry a heavier load and not because other people can't but because they know you will

When I supervised home building I dealt with many trades and suppliers. They all had one or maybe two people that I would call to make something happen. The “Go To” person. Sometimes that person did not exist and we’d have to find a new supplier.

My job is deliverables based. It's pretty obvious who is and who isn't working. But that's not the issue, it's how efficient and/or experienced the employee is. I got lots done but I was new so I was constantly asking questions and running around. Another guy was insanely slow but 10x more experienced than me. He still completed his deliverable. Then we have another guy and he does so much of the work we can't compete with him. He works 12-16 hours a day, emails at 1am, in the office before everyone else. Doesn't leave his desk all day.

There is zero chance of catching up to him and no desire to be like him. He's so productive it's killed his ability to be worth his actual output. He could be making millions.

Having worked in a large corporation for 10 years, I vowed to leave unless I got a specific promotion within a different line of business. I’d made my intentions and goals clear and was consistently performing at 1-2% top best for 8.5 years. I was always told “your time hasn’t come, ” and kept at bay as “needed” within my old department and only allowed to move laterally. At year 10, the pandemic hit, I took a leave of absence ( which was desired by my employer at the time), at month 2 of said leave they offered voluntary separation. Guess what I did- took the measly severance, withdrew my 401K and started an online business. Never been happier!!

My old employer reached out begging me to start with full flexibility and 100% work from home. I’ve been working as I please, when I please as a contractor for them. That pays my mortgage and first necessity bills. My business is doing great and I’m enjoying life. They can keep their promotions, their benefits and their environment.

That phenomenon also happens in physical work place. I used to work at an Amazon warehouse and was always expecting to do or carry the load of 3-4 person

Price’s law. Makes perfect sense. I’ve seen it countless times

[musicsdarkangel]

Here’s what I’ve noticed. To be a workaholic, it helps to have things that need to be done (deadlines) and work that affects others in a profound way (teaching… or inventing something, for example). However, it’s also important to have autonomy and to be passionate about the mission (unfortunately, not teaching most of the time). Combining those two is what causes many people to be workaholics IMO.

What you forgot to mention is that those individuals who are irreplaceable do not get promotions ... because it is very hard to fill the hole they leave behind. ( sorry I should watch the whole thing before I start typing - you nailed it ). Thanks for sharing Mr. P Clips and crew.

The word "exponentially" gets used to easily. It's quadratically in this case.

Base employees vs Level or Chase Employees have remarkable pros & cons.

I use to work for an engineering company that had a goal of three new patents a year. I produced two new patents a year for the three years I was there (6 patents) and then got let go. Never let your boss know how much more intelligent you are than them.

I haven’t watched enough but ur Peter Pan analysis helped me a lot thankyou even this one

[InfernoPhilM]

Corporate America doesn’t reward productivity like a true meritocracy. It rewards playing the corporate American game that is multi-level marketing.

[Wombola]

wow, this is way more important that I thought from the start!!
