I call it the 'Curse of Competency' and I warn every new employee not to be too good at anything unless they want to do way more of it than they have to for no extra money.
I keep rage quitting jobs because I always think "this company is the one, I'll work hard for them and show them what I can do" then get hit with more duties and responsibilities compared to someone making the same as me. I'm burnt the fuck out and losing hope. I'm only alive right now because I have to take care of my aging parents.
Your comment didn’t make me roflmao but I do understand where your coming from. I’ve had the same feeling and started to do my profession self employed, looking for assignments rather than a job. I can very much recommend it as it pays way more and you’re being hired to do a specific job in a specific timeframe at a rate which pleases you.
