    Another take: you can dial it back on what your manager gives you and spend more effort on tasks that directly benefit yourself. For example networking, selling yourself, learning new things. My work career has also had periods of fortune and misfortune that far outweighed whatever I was doing in my role. Department restructures, cost-cutting projects, industry booms and busts, sometimes you just try to ride the wave and that doesn’t always mean committing to your role.
