What you'll learn
Comfort did this, not failure
You got good at something. People kept asking. Now it's the only thing anyone sees you as. That's the trap.
Why the reward is the mechanism
Nobody forces you into a corner. They thank you into one. Recognise how it happened and you can stop it continuing.
The question that starts to open it
One question that gets under your own account of yourself, and why your answer to it is the least reliable part.
You arrive thinking you have been overlooked
You leave knowing you were rewarded into a corner, and that it is still happening.
Why this topic matters
You are doing everything right. Nothing is changing. Good reviews, more responsibility, warm words, and the same job you had three years ago. Most people call that being overlooked. It is almost always wrong. You were rewarded into a corner. You got good at something, people kept giving it to you, and now it is the only thing anyone sees you as. Nobody forced that. They thanked you into it.
