    Idiot on an intelligent team, I’ll only get better

    Intelligent in an idiot team, they will only make me dumber

    They both feel so terrible.

    I guess, the best would be to be the idiot, and then get kicked out. Dragging everyone down with you comes with so much guilt (or should), while a bit of rejection beats the frustration of being a Cassandra.

    Unless it’s a team doing something evil, in which case you should make them idiots, and then quit.

    So long as the intelligent people are also kind. A group of intelligent people that are backbiting and cruel is the absolute worst.

    If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.

        Because you’ll be unable to learn anything. You’ll eventually get dumber.

          I don’t think so. A smart person can still learn while being the smartest in the room. People don’t get dumber, just because they are the smartest of all in the room. In fact you might be able to help others, or be the only one who can solve the problem. Then you are the right person in the room.

          On the other hand, being dumb or an idiot does not mean you will learn… most likely you will not (that’s why its called an idiot). Smart people can be an asshole or you cannot keep up with them and just be a burden.

            Teaching others is one of the best ways to learn. There are levels of hell though. E.g. try teaching MAGA anything about the scientific method.

    “idiot” and “intelligent” are not mutually exclusive. One can be both at the same time. There are intelligent people doing idiotic stuff.

    I’ve been both on different uni projects. Far better being the smart one in a group of idiots and just banging out the work without interference for a good grade. Being the idiot on the smart team was torture.

    Idiot on a team of intelligent people. I get pissed off at people being stupid. My team might get pissed off at me but that’s their problem. And generally I like being around people smarter than me because I learn a lot from them.

    To be the inteligent person in a team of idiots is certainly one of the worst things that could happen to you.

      That depends, if one of the idiots is in charge, it’s torture. However, if you don’t have to answer to any of them, you can set them up with busy work to feel important and do all the actual work yourself. Then it’s only bad if you don’t like the work.

    If I kept my level and get a team with >200 IQ, then I’ll be the idiot any day.

    I’m a middle aged industry engineer and having a team of morons at this point is so fucking tiresom.

    They’re not really morons. Companies obsessing about efficiency are just beating people in to lumps of apathy that don’t want to use more than 2% their brain power on anything. If they also have a culture of punishment, it kills all initiative and you end up with mouth breathers with a thousand yard stare all day.

    Idiot on a team of intelligent people. Hopefully, they’ll put up with me long enough to point where I learn enough to stop being an idiot.
