When Im working hard to get somewhere in the company I get shit from people:

"ThE cOmPaNy dOeSn'T cArE aBoUt YoU...."

Yeaah I fucking know the company doesn't care. But its not like I'm getting a different and better role + a better salary if I just work the bare minimum and give zero shits about everything. In the end some people just work harder for selfish reasons, I doubt its for company loyalty or Love of flowers.

In a vast majority of cases, no one is to get a better role or salary for working harder or caring more. You're a fool if you think otherwise.

The "company doesn't care about you" line you're so quick to mock is specifically referring to how hard you work and contribute. It's weird that you don't understand that.

How is it weird? How is it weird to believe that getting somewhere takes hard work? Please tell me how can one get a better role and conditions without working harder or caring more because if there is one then I'd be glad to walk that road instead. I just don't see it.

You should prioritize yourself. If you're recognized for your hard work, then all the power to you. People are just skeptic because most of the time, no matter how hard you work, you never get any valuable recognition for it.

If you don't feel recognized, it's still valid to do work that you believe will contribute to your professional growth - as a way to prepare yourself for the next step.

I understand that. Thanks
