Episode 53: Why Your Best Work Gets You More Work

from Built in Silence · host Derrick Primm

Why do the best employees often get the worst treatment? Reliable employees solve problems, accept extra work, and hide the cost. Soon, their reliability becomes an expectation. This episode explains the Reliability Tax and gives you two practical ways to make your workload visible, clarify priorities, and stop becoming the permanent owner of every problem. The goal is not to work worse. It is to stop making unlimited work look normal.
