I do good work for me. Not for the company. They don’t care whether I try or not. There is no reward coming my way. Odds are I will be let go eventually and nobody in management will lose any sleep over it. But I also know myself. If I spent eight to ten hours a day just skating by, working only for a paycheck, I would lose my mind. So I do the job well because I have to live with myself afterward. What I cannot figure out is how some people coast so easily. That would drive me insane.

Do your job and everything in life the right way. Your job doesn’t define you, your attitude does. 3M can’t take that from you unless you let it.

Its sad but that really is the way that place is anymore. More and more work, amd tons of vague promises from management. Soon as I hit my numbers I'll be long gone.
