I used to get everything perfect at work no matter how many hours it took. When Donald took office in 2016 I realized skills and effort weren’t really that important. I focused more on talking to the right people and getting good reviews. Life got a lot easier. Less work and more money. Now that he’s back in office I’m finding it really hard to even check my work once before pushing it out. People keep forgiving mistakes though.

I miss the days when competence was expected.
