Also get EVERYTHING in writing. There always needs to be a “paper” trail (digital via email counts), protects you & everyone you work with

My work ethic is : do your job so well that they cannot ignore you. And you’re right. That didn’t get me far 😆

Yes and the fact that NOBODY is your friend. Even the people you treat like your friends there.

Devil in a blue dress :
my manager ANNOYS me, she has improved/accomplished nothing in 3 or 4 years, she makes everything more complicated just so she can make work to seem like her salary is justified.

NO BUT MY MUM GAVE ME THE WORST CORP ADVISE TOO. she told me to keep my head down and don't be seen. I genuinely think this is a collective Asian experience that literally sets BACK our career YEARS.

Also! Those people aren’t your friends. They may be friendly, but they’re not your friend. WATCH YOUR BACK! 👀

This is so sadly true my boss says ‘the squeaky wheel gets the oil’ and it’s true every time

Blue collar work is the exact opposite - you can be silent, and it will still be obvious you're faster, better at picking up new tasks, and get more done than the others

I once worked with a girl who would complain abt how she woke up at 5am to do xyz. Everyone had to do it too but didn’t say anything. She got promoted.

And then the more you can show that you're able to accomplish above and beyond your duties, then they give you a BIGGER workload with the same salary and schedule 🙃

I had a coworker that did this. I swear they went around all day talking about themselves more than doing the actual job part of our job. That person everyone thought walked on water.

Same here. I was born and lived in Albania 40 years ago, moved to Switzerland when I was 18 and was shocked to find out after my studies that brilliance will get you nowhere (might get you in trouble

as a software dev, I've seen that delivering a system with no bugs gets you less ♥️than one that needs lots of fixes. the fixes are you solving probs, even if you created! 😡

This is the same for working in a hospital 😱I can’t bring myself to do it because I don’t want to be annoying. I need to learn how to speak up 🤦🏻♀️

What do you not hate about corporate? The money? Ja, well then I don’t see the difference between a s** & corporate worker. Worked in the finance…never ever again will I work for someone else but me ✨

in my company, it doesn't matter how much effort you give or how excellent you performed as long as you are friends with the manager

So true. As an introvert I’ve had to learn to post things in slack for visibility. Or share with my manager what I do in 1:1 even if it’s small
