Do you compete and strive to do the best job you can. Or do you just try to get by?
I have done both at different times.
Second question, do you compete with those around you to try to be the best?

Yes. I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

hell no! I just try and make it to 5 oclock every day. Most the time i sit in the office on the net trying to pass time. I even screen my phone calls and only answer when its really important.

Yes to both questions. Just trying to get by when you know you can do better makes you a lazy bum.

Absolutely! I love what I do, and I pride myself on growing the best produce around. This field is not for those who are simply looking to get by, you have to have the want to do well.

Yep.


It's the reason I'm the only person going to have a job come next semester at my work place.

Everybody else getting fired.

It depends on what you consider my work. I have a job that I do to make my money for my family. I hate every single minute of it because it takes me away from them and various other reasons. I take no pride in my job, but do it to the best of my ability so I can continue to make money. My kids are my true work and my greatest pride.

I didn't realize this thread was limited to comments on professional work. I think you should work hard regardless of your stage in life.

I do the best job that I can.

The nature of my work and the nature of my organization isn't about being competitive with each other; rather, it is about all of us working together so that we are better than our competitors.

Yes.
Yes.

Eta: I've earned my reputation of being a condescending a-hole. Mainly because I expect perfection from myself, my team and those that interact with us. Some can't keep up.
