A dumb way of thinking that says working your butt off for barely anything is totally worth it because you're a total idiot
I stayed up until 3 AM to finish that report and got a $5 raise. I'm a goddamn hero.
I worked 10 hours on that presentation and got a 'good job' sticker. I'm gonna scream.
I did 500 push-ups for my boss and he said 'thanks'... I'm gonna quit.

The art of doing way more than you should just to feel important, even if no one cares
I fixed the printer, the internet, and the coffee machine. No one noticed. I'm a legend.
I stayed late to clean the office. My boss said 'thanks'... I'm a disappointment.
I did the whole presentation by myself. My team sat there like dumbasses.

A stupid belief that you're the best person ever just because you did a little extra work
I added a graph to the report. I'm a genius. Everyone else is a failure.
I brought donuts to the office. I'm a saint. My coworkers are sinners.
I stayed late to proofread the email. I'm a rockstar. The rest of you are just background noise.

The habit of pretending you're super busy when you're just being a lazy idiot
I told my boss I was working on a big project. I was actually eating a bag of chips.
I said I had a million things to do. I just had a $2 coffee.
I said I was in a meeting. I was on TikTok the whole time.

The dumb idea that you're a total legend for doing a little extra work, even if it's not that hard
I did 10 minutes of extra work. I'm a total legend. Everyone else is a failure.
I stayed 5 minutes late. I'm a rockstar. The rest of you are total losers.
I added a smiley face to the email. I'm a hero. My coworkers are cowards.
