All the time, easy
>I am a manager of a tech support team for a Fortune 25 firm, have 6 peers, all of us manage 24-36 technicians
>The other six spend all their time discussing the follow on education they are getting, the business podcasts they listen to, doing LinkedIn posting and stupid shit like that. All also virtue signalling political shit all the fucking time.
>I talk about hunting, fishing, smoking meat, guns, going to church.
>Never let on I have a lot more education and experience than they do so they consistently ignore me and my team
>They fight each other constantly for attention, budget, headcount, and so on frequently talking for 20+ minutes saying nothing in meetings to appear smart.
>I tightly focus on performance, deliverables, QA, team morale & retention, documentation, and written stakeholder buy-in
>I always have the best numbers, best 360 reviews, best returns, lowest errors, and on and on and on. My team has best retention, best performance, and all other markers
>They are so busy sniping each other they don't even notice
>When I was the first to get promoted to senior level they openly made jokes about it being because I wouldn't challenge the director for his job because I am sooooo dumb.
>Meanwhile, the director knows what I am doing and loves it.
