The one thing that can get you fired fast: overconfidence


Let's face it, friends: You're either confident, underconfident, or overconfident - which the second two can cause some problems at work. I'll highlight some major points of the dangers of being overconfident, and why it can get you fired fast.
(Which we know that with underconfidence, we can improve. But, overconfidence may make you look like a butt)

Either way we look at it, overconfidence is a way to get ahead of the game. Not only do you think you're the best one in the workplace, but you'll think ahead of yourself all the time. You're always wanting the extra hours, wanting the chance to get rich quickly, but you never show your work true to your confidence.

What's the biggest issue in overconfidence? Many people who're overconfident can't backup what they say! Not only that, but they also can come off haughty, prideful, and impose a sense that they should be the manager.

Overconfident people tend to loom around the negative side of things, to get their own way and to win every time! But, the problems faced in that are the fact that managers won't like you (secretly), employees will pick and fight with you, and you won't get the promotion you think you want.

Here's another problem with overconfident people: they hop company to company and NEVER get promoted, NEVER get more money, and usually have trouble getting into awesome, beneficial company.

So, my action for you today: slim down the ego, learn some company values, be happy, learn how to be smarter and more productive, and be likable. Once you learn these approaches to being a better worker overall, and take down some of your confidence, then you'll be able to save your job and you might get that promotion you always wanted!
