Here’s an important question for the future of your career: Which will get you further, doing amazing work or sucking up to your boss? Because, apparently, “both” isn’t an option.
A new study out of Oregon State University found that when people kiss up to their bosses, it drains their energy . . . so they get WORSE at their job. They start wasting more time online, missing deadlines, and getting into fights with coworkers.
The researchers say, quote, “There’s a personal cost to ingratiating yourself with your boss. When your energy is depleted, it may nudge you into slack-off territory.”
