Maybe it’s because I literally do not give a shit about the company or it’s products or customers. I just want money. In fact, I want the opposite kind of imposter syndrome, where I trick the people hiring me into thinking I’m much more qualified than I actually am get paid a shit ton more money. Yes I know C++, Pascal, Assembly, COBOL. Please pay me $500k.

    I'd describe "imposter syndrome" as professional FOMO, where you're worried that all your coworkers think you're an idiot but are too polite to tell you. Sort of like worrying that all your friends think you're a drag but are too nice to tell you.

      That makes more sense. Although personally, I probably wouldn't mind if my coworkers think I'm an idiot unless it's personally affecting their end of the work
