Business Coach Says Being Good at Your Job Can Lead to More Work: ‘Excellence Comes With a Penalty’
Yahoo • • world
Key Points:
- A TikTok by business coach @zerodollarcoaching highlighted that highly competent employees often receive extra work instead of rewards, as managers assign urgent tasks to those they trust to perform well.
- The coach used a hypothetical employee, 'Sarah,' to illustrate how competent workers end up doing not only their own tasks but also those of colleagues, while less engaged employees like 'Mike' do the minimum.
- The video argued that this dynamic leads to burnout, as excellence is penalized with more responsibilities rather than fair compensation or recognition.
- The TikTok went viral with over 1.4 million views, sparking widespread discussion as many users shared similar experiences of becoming the "go-to" employee and facing negative consequences when setting boundaries.
- While the video resonated with many, The Daily Dot could not independently verify the claims, which reflect the coach's personal views and examples shared on TikTok.
