Five Hints You Could Be an Underperformer… Even When No One Says Anything


After years of loyalty to an employer, you may assume you’re doing good work even when no one takes the time to say it. Possibly you’ve hit a level of stability after struggling for a while, and conclude you must be doing fine, since no one has claimed otherwise. Or you may just feel complacent after achieving laurels and back-pats for doing good work in the past, to the point where you shift into automatic and count on routines to keep you on the right path.

Just because no one brings it up, however, doesn’t mean you’re not under-performing. Some managers just assume you know what you’re doing and say nothing. Others may not want to say anything for fear of embarrassing you. And then all of a sudden, you’re blindsided by a “performance plan.” Or if everyone gets a Christmas bonus except you, that would be another major hint.


Even if there is no obvious evidence like the above, you still may be under-performing. So take a moment to look for any of the following signs in your daily work.
