		musbemus 5 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Being good isn't enough > And in the long run, the best way to get what you want is to deserve it. Love this quote. And just a comment on agency: it's not necessarily rewarded or even acknowledged in all environments. Some expect that you're literally a worker-robot and just need someone to carry out menial tasks from up top. You don't want to end up at one of these places, regardless of what your life situation is.

Nice quote, sadly not true at all.

Currently, statistics show that changing jobs rapidly pays much more than staying one place, no matter whether you deserve it or not.

Whether or not you deserve it is not a metric that is often applied in this field.
