If your goal is to stay in the position you’re in then do what you’re paid for and nothing else, but don’t complain you’re not offered the same opportunities if you see someone showing they’re ready and able to do more get promoted, no shit people will assume you can’t do more if you don’t show them you’re able to, that applies to everything in life, not just work.
You won’t get stronger by always curling the same dumbbell for the same number of reps. No one will just take your word for it if you say you’re able to run a marathon in 4 hours if they always see you sitting on the couch playing video games.
Hell, with your mentality why go to school? I mean, who are they to rate your work? Why should you need to prove to anyone that your understand what you were taught? You know you do and that’s what’s important and people should realize that and offer you a job based on your confidence that you’re the best surgeon in your country! Right?
I see people in this thread complaining about nepotism but when I mention meritocracy they’re just as mad. Well then, what is your fucking solution?

Also - don’t make me laugh by comparing sucking up to your employer to genuine self improvement.
Like I already said - I do have initiative. Pointless busywork just to kiss ass is not showing initiative. It’s showing compliance.
