You don’t need to provide your own professional expertise; as long as you cater to those above you, you can get by securely.

You don’t have to take things too seriously. Do something occasionally, and even if you usually coast and zone out, you’ll still be an outstanding employee.

If you make a mistake or don’t want to do something, just completely slack off and leave it unfinished; naturally, someone will come along to clean up your mess.

Well, then just don’t be the person who cleans up other people’s messes, got it?
