There's no point doing my best.
The only way to get ahead here is to suck up to the boss.
I'm going to look around for another job, maybe I'll be appreciated somewhere else.
Well, that might be true, but what if it's not?
What have you got to lose by giving your absolute best, every day, for just three months and see where that gets you?
And you might have everything to gain!
Let's say you do look for another job.
Will they want someone full of energy, motivated, and a spectacular team player?
Or will they want someone with poor body language, a cynical attitude and complaints about their boss?
Who would you hire?
And if you try giving your absolute best, what if you start to get noticed?
What if you're given more responsibility?
What if the place you're at turns out to be the place you were so eager to join in the first place?
This one rang true, Shahid - its so easy to become despondent and its a downward spiral!
