So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, “We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.”

– Luke 17:10 (Biblica 2017)

The caretaker is a “just enough” performer. He does just enough to get by, just enough to get paid, and just enough to not get fired. While caretaker performance is a step up from the unacceptable undertaker, it is not noble; in fact, it is not even particularly notable. It is baseline, minimal, get-in-at-the-last-minute, leave-at-the-earliest-moment, pledge-allegiance-to-the-job-description, just-hold-it-all-together-while-you're-there performance.

For a caretaker, the thought of putting in extra work and effort to become his or her best self, or to get an edge and move ahead, is as appealing as a dead skunk in the middle of the road.

Do not complain about the success you don't get from the work you will not do. If you did not earn it and do not deserve it, you have earned and deserve the reality of going without it.
