IIRC, It was G. Gordon Liddy that used to have a radio show in the mornings and he would tell the story of when he was a young man working at the local post office he was told by superiors to SLOW DOWN because he was making the other guys look bad.............
“he was told by superiors to SLOW DOWN because he was making the other guys look bad”
After I got laid off in private sector aerospace and was picked up by the DoD I had coworkers approaching me telling me the same thing......”slow down new guy, your making us look bad”.
At that time, being probationary “career conditional”.....I complied. 😏
