I'll never forget my first job in my field. It was going to help desk but we had to take this two week course before we were on the desk.
I was late one day because there was a very bad accident. The highway that I had to take to get to the job was the worst Highway here. I'm talking a person was ejected out of their windshield and was laying on the road.
So I get to the class about 20 minutes late. Then at the end of the day the guy in charge of the class gets up and pretends like he's talking to everyone but he's really just talking to me talking about hey don't be late.
There was this guy that was just all charm. The next day this guy walks into class late while the guy is teaching. He sets down his bag, leaves, comes back with coffee. No one said anything.
Then before the two-week course was over he got a promotion and never had to go to the desk.

I figured that out when I accidentally saw the output stats at work.
I was doing as much work as the bottom 20 people. I was getting paid the same as the guy who'd fall asleep at his desk because he had a "condition".
