Please do not become a Corporate Cockroach!
A corporate cockroach is someone who becomes one of the many non-descript workers in a company. They do just enough to get by, doing no more or no less than asked. The “cc” blends in among the mass, always does what he is told and never questions anything because doing so might make him/her memorable and/or a potential target for retaliation (e.g. probing questions, responsibilities, accountability, leadership role). They stay under the radar so that they can live comfortably and retire at the company 30 years later. They don’t want to be noticed or known by upper management for fear that when times get tough, the people who management knows by name will be the first to go. They’re useless creatures, but will fight to the death when they feel that their job security is threatened. They will leave the company just as they started…bored, useless and unknown.
