I've seen coasting people getting promoted, and hard working people not getting promoted. But you could be hard working and not stressed is my point. I know because I've been there. I've even been there at Google for a short while. I ran a cool project, people were nice, work was interesting, it wasn t stressful at all but it was challenging. Sadly it didn't last long.
