365 Days of Python: Day #55 — Career Complacency

Complacency is a silent killer. And once you realize that you have become complacent, it is already too late.

Why would I want to be promoted? The benefit of increased pay does not correlate to the increased amount of responsibility that will be given to me.

I enjoy my job, and I do well in my role. I am afraid that if I switch roles, then I will start making mistakes and do worse on performance reviews.

I do not like my job, but my degree does not allow me to switch roles. Therefore, I will just ride it out until retirement.

It is completely normal to have these thoughts. Complacency brings comfort, and comfort is something that most people are not willing to sacrifice.
