  1. Never let your manager/ coworker know your after office life.
  2. Never start talking first. Always let your manager speak first, answer only for what is asked.
  3. Always set delay delivery on atleast once a week to late nights.

Envy is a real problem Our people have an unnecessary habit of extrapolating things. If your manager/co worker thinks you are happy, you will see it's effect soon.
In the corporate world it pays to be sad all the time. Why do think ceos always keep screaming danger, they keep saying things like how "things are going to be tough", " slowdown is real", etc...

Don't stop upskilling, reading up about your craft, learning from external sources. No matter how comfortable you get in your current role. You got this far because of your openness to learn, do not let go of it, because it will catch up in a few years.

Trying to get back to reading up : )

  • Be kind to other people at the workplace. None of this matters in the grand scheme of things. That "As we had previously discussed" helps no one.

It helps to make them feel a little bad for not doing homework before joining the meeting.

I had to give the same KT 4 times to a team because they can’t remember past conversations.

You are easily replaceable. Even Sam Altman got replaced. So dont worry about the company, worry about yourself and your personal goals

This post was started in good faith, then got taken over by managerloverbois. "Share your ideas in the meeting don't be scared of AVP" My foot....you think you are creating a eureka moment? Shut up and dont extend the meeting, everyone else got real work to do.

  1. Communicate what you have done explicitly and don’t expect your manager to know it on his/her own

  2. If you are going above and beyond for something, let people know. It sounds weird and feels wrong but unless you let people know, you don’t get the rewards for it.
