Ask HN: Are you okay to work in org with underperformers and few bar raisers?

Remember: the i in Team hides in the A-hole.

The environment you choose for your proffessional progression is absolutely up to you. The nature of the underperformer and overperformer is also not as static as you might think! In an org that actually has time to teach, you will make others AND yourself happy by sharing knowledge and advancing the team.

Are you okay to work in org with sycophants, backstabbers, and few people who actually want to see you succeed?

Good managers will and in return turn you into a better person for it too!
