Fake it till you make it.
You think the CEO of Walmart is smarter than you in every way? Fuck no, that bitch couldnt pull a proper pint.
No ones an imposter, we all learn on the job. Also, ask your manager for a comparison of target hitting between you and a few colleagues (without their names) And itll put it into perspective.
No one truly knows what we're doing. You breathing and eating? Sounds like you're a fucking King mate.

The times I’ve felt like this it was because I felt disconnected from other people at work.
If you’re new, it’ll go away once you have your work besties. If you’ve been several years there, I recommend you to start looking for a new job, if you don’t feel comfortable and not getting promotions.

I’m one of those annoying morning people up at 5 am with a “wake up sunshine!!” This is my trick I love my morning coffee/tea or a morning treat I’m very food motivated just like my fat cat!
Have something to look forward to when you wake up in the morning whatever it is that makes you happy and also going the fuck to sleep at a decent time really helps !

I watch the same local morning news program every day and get real friendly with the morning news crew. They end up being like my little morning friends and I start noticing new haircuts, weight gain/loss, etc. ‘Sup Lynn, Belen, and crew!

I use my coworkers as carrier pigeons to take my suggestions and comments to management because I know they can't keep a secret. It's kind of fun to say a thing here and watch it come out of someone else's mouth over there.
I use to have a coworker who always thought she was slick hiding behind the corner listening to conversations and then running right to the supervisor and telling them what she heard. She never figured out that she heard exactly what I wanted her and the supervisor to hear. We played this game for years.

I tested a co-worker once - I told them that when I have vacation time I like to sit in the park and paint. Not something I have done and never told anyone else. A few weeks later my director mentioned something about how I could not rely on sitting in the park and painting as an occupation. Lesson learned.

But...if you want the boss to know something but don't want to be associated with it (or risk being the messenger that got killed), tell the boss's tush-kisser. I was told early on by friends in the departmen5t to be very careful what I said to Laurie or within her hearing.
"But... if you want Sue [2nd in command] to know something, tell it to Laurie. It will get to Dick [department head] before 5."
Laurie would relay it to Sue, who loved gossip of any kind, as a dung beetle loves dung. We knew by the next morning Big Dick (as he called himself) would have a plan in place that made him look like gold.. These were the 80s. No email, no cell phones, not even beepers. Just Laurie.

Someone told me that if you have imposter syndrome, it means that you are not going to be overconfident and cocky. It also means that you understand the seriousness of the work. I suspect that all people I’ve worked with and that I respect felt like imposters all the time.
