Editorial note: This video was my best performing on FB, and the second-most wasn’t even close. (It also got millions of views on IG but it barely made a dent on TT. 🤷‍♂️) #bestof #bestof2023 #work #hustleculture

one of the first people in the office and one of the last to leave if you are in the first five years of your career years ago i was on a hiring committee where our consensus choice for this full time position was somebody who had already been working within the organization on a contract a contract basis for about half a decade and the only concern the only question that was raised about hiring them for this full time position was
who's going to replace them who is going to do all those thankless tasks all of that extra work
unpaid work
who are we going to exploit in their place because in making themselves indispensable in that role this person had also made themselves irreplaceable and too valuable to promote and they got the job in the end but i think it was only because the committee subsequently learned that they were considering leaving that hard work that loyalty might be held against you don't allow yourself to be complicit in your own exploitation
