Guess what? There will ALWAYS be somebody that worked harder than you, often they won't brag nor complain about it. And to take it further, there will ALWAYS be somebody that's STILL working harder than you to make it. ALWAYS been that way, ALWAYS gonna be that way.....
If you've been in this game a while, like MANY of us, this is obvious. Especially if you've been through downgrade/displacement/paycut/furlough/shutdown cycle. Being aware of one's audience can be importan. If you haven't, I've heard that humble pie is pretty good. Just sayin'....
