Totally selected the wrong meme for the old title, but here we are.
Yes, but do you have plans to do it better and/or are you getting paid?

I was really on board until the last sentence basically perpetuated the same issue ๐ They think they're believing in their own excellence. Rather, admit your flaws and accept them because that's okay. Try your best to do better everyday.
What if I'm indeed mediocre at the thing and this only encourages to believe in my self inflated ego and carry on like normal?
Man I really used to rinse people when I was young.
been battling impostor syndrome for my whole career, and today i learned that one of the new (not new to the field) people on my team doesn't know how to use excel, the thing i spend like 50% of my working hours using.
worrying for my team and maybe the industry, but very comforting personally lol
Ask how much they get paid, then go to your boss asking for a raise because you can actually use excel, and this other person can't. You deserve more than they do, and id your boss won't give you the raise, you can go down to your coworkers level and stop using excel.
It never takes them long to see your value when you stop giving it to them.
This helped me be confident I could learn to drive as a grownup: there are people out there who vote for deplorable and appalling candidates and have no self-awareness about it. Yet everyone pretty much appears to be able to drive alright.*
* does not apply in Boston namaste
I am sure the people she is denegrating are comforting themselves even now, imagining she is talking to them.
As I get older I think I get less confident in others faster than I get more confident in myself.
Me too. Feels shit doesn't it?
I'm not sure which one of the people in the meme I am, but they pay me pretty good to do what I do so I'm not gonna stop.
It's pretty freeing to realize that most people have no idea what's going on and that includes who you may perceive is at a high level. (Almost) Everyone has to report to someone and once you get past three levels from the top, it's like playing a game of telephone where the people at the top start with gibberish in the first place.
Do your best, learn every day (or don't), and don't be so hard on yourself. Nobody has any idea what's going on.
Everyone has to answer to someone.
Underlings to their managers, managers to senior management, senior management to C-suite, CEO has to answer to the board and shareholders.
Yeah but once you're at the level of senior management the answers can just be some buzzword biz nonsense and people will gobble it up.
Until the YOY numbers aren't meeting targets and then you start sweating.
No, you just "seek new opportunities" while collecting your fat severance compensation.
I know my worth!
...it's less. As in: worthless. Lol
Saying things confidently incorrect is like my whole identity.
You said that fairly confidently.. do I believe you or not?
I will make sure to watch out for your other comments on this site โ
I see your Unicode skull and raise to one Unicode alembic โ
Nice, preemptive block incoming. <3
This is just describing the last owner of our house.
Lol, my wife and I are having to deal with a retaining wall built in the 70s and left to rot. It was a cheap-ass railroad tie and wood retaining wall and if it's not fixed, our house will slide off a hill.
$170k to fix... When I said lol earlier, I meant I want to cry.
Holy fuck, we have a railroad tie retaining wall for the bank in our back yard, but that's keeping the bank from sliding towards the house, not for keeping the house up, and still, it's not even holding much back. I'd never trust that for anything critical. No way that would ever be approved today.
They're literally not approved by state ordinances anymore. And the previous 30 years of owners just completely neglected it. The soil erosion is so bad and it's a shame because we can see the remnants of what used to be a beautiful backyard.
We thought the fix would be closer to 50k when we bought it, which would have been mostly paid for by our previous house sale. But here we are with an entire house worth of repairs in our lap...
Brother, did you and I buy a home from the same family?
