The adequate employee
They answer emails, process invoices, attend meetings, and do what was agreed without extra effort.

Their ambition generates work for others but can lead to exhaustion and bankruptcy.

X had a garden and retired with cake and a card, leaving no memory of his work.
The real victory
Employees who do their jobs without burnout are the true backbone of organizations.
What to remember
Employees who meet expectations without overworking are the true foundation of organizations.
