The biggest mistake I made was taking on more work, thinking that if I worked harder, it would pay off. No, I just got more work to do. Now I’m definitely doing a double or even triple workload and I’m completely exhausted. Now what? Quit? Stop doing that much work immediately? Gradually work less and less?

In the upside down world of Windstream, the p-o floats to the top. So, stop working and be as incompetent as possible and I guaranty, you'll be in a management position in no time.
