New research shows that people who can be “counted on” at work often feel unappreciated and worked harder than their coworkers. We explore why being a go-getter can be stressful, and how companies can reward competency.

Being A Go-Getter Is No Fun
In American culture, being a go-getter is something that’s praised and encouraged. We often hear sayings like “The early bird gets the worm,” and “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” But what is it like to actually be the go-getter in any given situation?

We talk to one of the lead researchers about what it’s like to be a go-getter at work and in personal relationships.
