I have tried developing strategies, brainstorming solutions, worried to core leading to breakdowns While collegeaues from IIT/IIM earning double, don't know basic shit I have understood there's no point putting that extra effort. How do I act dumb on purpose? I'm not someone who can stretch work, result and speed are inherent and this is why need advice here.
P.S. company is citing funding winter for no appraisals this year So another reason
My attitude was very similar to you, albeit I am from IIT/IIM. The key is to realise that working hard and taking stress are two different things. You can work hard while not taking stress.
Also it your lack of confidence that is causing the stress.
Be confident and work hard. Care less about what others are doing/not doing. Don't consider yourself to be above/below someone.
Basically be stoic
Yeah you can call it that. I realised that I was a bit inefficient and under confident, also rarely was I able to say no. Due to these I slowly started to develop a negative outlook towards my colleagues.
It's tough to accept your faults and improve upon them. Blaming others is far easier.
If u want to do it in ur current company between same folks who’ve seen your work… you can’t “bluff”. They’ll spot that you’re purposely doing it. You can do it for something new or just slack off more, be slow to respond, etc. I would advice against working hard unless what you do is very visible.
My friend no one can give you stress. Only you can take. Your locus of control is you. Internalise this you will find peace at work.
Be yourself!
Take this work a pinch of salt, not to be triggered.
I work in a company with a good number of folks working in product, growth/ strategy. Many of which are from tier 1 Indian business schools or some even from abroad.
Paid hefty, I ...
Would you rather act dumb to get less work or maybe get out of a toxic project OR try to finish it ASAP to get it done with (this doesn't work for me, end up getting 2x, 3x, 4x work cuz of "efficiency")
I'm a software engineer with 2 years of experience. I feel like I don't have programming acumen and can't understand things like others. I really struggle at my job and has to give extra time even weekend to perform at my job. I don't u...
