Guy in my clan talking about "if you aren't active every 2-3 days you should get kicked" and that he works full time, is an intern, a student and an athlete. Looks like someone wants elder 🤣🤣🤣
My coworker got promoted over me.
He was worse at coding. Better at politics.
I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster.
He talked in meetings. Took credit. Played the game.
He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work".
That's when I realized: corporate rewards politics, not performance.
Six months later I quit. Started freelancing.
Now I make 3x his salary. No politics. No credit-stealing. Just solving problems and getting paid directly.
The best developers rarely get promoted. They get used.
Companies optimize for compliance and communication. Not competence.
If you're technically great but politically terrible, you'll never win at corporations.
Leave. Build your own thing. Get paid for your actual value.

A storage business gotta be top 10 jobs of all time, all you do is have people pay you for putting their stuff in a room and occasionally make it on Storage Wars
