Minimize mistakes. Most employers try to sell you that idea. It is a lot easier to avoid risk in the world today. Don’t rock the boat and your job appreciates you. Rewarded for stable service when they know they can come to you. It’s easier for you too, no one will be yelling at you and you will never be called on.
The only problem with that narrative is that you chop your own ability at the knees. A lot of opportunity out there depends on risk, putting yourself out there, and risk is difficult.
If you fly close to the sun, you burn, that is the nature of life. But it doesn’t end there, you get stronger when healed. Get to your potential or you minimize yourself. The only thing you can depend on is that job letting you go when it is able.
