Be slow, make mistakes, ask questions incessantly. You can actually do more damage to an organization by being a bad worker than by quitting and being replaced by someone that’s at all competent.
But, you do have to be careful. If completing the paperwork is a morally bad act, it remains so even if it takes you 3 days instead of 30 minutes, and even if no one else ever knows, you will always have to live with yourself. There’s a line from Schindler’s list about wanting to guarantee that none of the shells the factory would ever fire; he wanted them ALL to be duds.
I would get it wrong consistently.
