I started a new job some months back, and my boss straight up told us in a team meeting “we’re not paying you to give 100% all the time, that’s not possible. We’re paying you for your average effort. Everyone has good days and bad, so don’t worry about it. Just do the job as good as you can on any given day and if we were right in hiring you, that will be enough.”
Kind of blew my mind and confirmed I’d done the right thing signing with that company.
I had a math class in college where the professor gave us quizzes on Fridays instead of giving us any homework and then after the quiz told us we shouldn’t study too hard on the weekend because we were young and should have fun.
I hate math. I’m some sort of math-illiterate. But I enjoyed that professor.
