OP you work with stupid people, so you will fit in just fine.

The C players plat for the C Sites like Game of Thrones.

The A players are the A-holes no one likes.

The B players bumble around like Bees.

C players are the producers, they tend to do what they're told and are happy for a raise. B players are the intermediates - they actually have thoughts and concerns - they can move things forward or hold things up.

Maybe it’s the old saying “ A students work for B students at companies started by C students“ ?

C employees are going to be the bulk of the labor force. There's nothing wrong with being C level - organizations that are oversaturated at the A level have their own problems.

Copilot says:

The Real Dynamics

• A players drive innovation and growth.
• B players provide stability and execution.
• C players are usually the focus of performance improvement plans or eventual exits.

So it seems basically elementary school lingo? Inane.

Help me decode what people really mean when they say someone is an A, B or C player. I get A's are the stars, the go getters, the winners, the ones who make C suite. Im unclear about B and C-- are these like continuous discrete scales? Sometimes it feels like B is worse than C? Someone told me that I am a clear C player and that's a good thing. Is it a good thing? Can I still move out of C into A within the same company or would I need to move out? Thank you
