Yupppp. I have a bit of a story to ties in to this.

I had some Salesforce experience, and when my last job heard about that I became the go to "SF person." It was like a millstone around my neck the whole time. I couldn't get any of the work I'd signed up for done because of all this SF stuff. It occupied so much of my time, and I got so good at it, that I started looking for jobs in that field, even though I hated it...

Anyway, when I got laid off I figured clean slate and scrubbed everything I didn't like out of my linkedin/resume. It's great. The people at my current job don't even know that I have this experience. I see them in the Slack congratulating each other for migrating their CSM over to the SF "Lightning Experience" when I single-handedly managed that task at my last job.

I just nod and smile.

"Shutting up" is a marvelous talent to practice in any office job.

We are taught over and over to pitch in, especially from management, but mainly all it does is fuck you over. Ain't no one getting a raise for taking on the "salesforce guy" bullshit in this day and age. It just becomes "why can't you do both, faster?!"

The only time its worth piping up is when it will save you effort in the long run or make you money. Anything else is losing at capitalism, which capitalists are happy to tell you to do.
