Is Being 'Pretty Good' at Work a Career Crime? 🤔

I've been working in advertising in Chicago for three years now, and honestly, I'm starting to wonder if there's any room left for people who just want to do their jobs—nothing more, nothing less. Every agency I've joined seems to worship at the altar of the workaholic, expecting everyone to be obsessed with the company mission and treat the job like it's the only thing that matters in life. I show up, I do my work well, but apparently that's not enough. If you're not shouting your passion from the rooftops or volunteering for every extra project, you're seen as disposable. It feels like being a 'pretty good' employee is basically a one-way ticket to the exit. Is it just me, or is there really no place for people who want a healthy balance? Has anyone found a workplace where being competent and reliable is actually valued? I could really use some advice before I lose my mind—or my job. 😩 #WorkLifeBalance #CareerAdvice #OfficeCulture #JobCareer
