Being known as the person who always gets the job done can sound like an advantage at work, but an Instagram user has argued that it can also lead to an uneven workload. In a video, a man identified as Cheema claimed that consistently delivering high-quality work can encourage managers to keep assigning responsibilities to the same dependable employees, turning competence into what he described as a “punishment”.
Cheema said employees who establish a reputation for reliability may find themselves receiving additional tasks simply because their managers trust them to complete the work properly.
