- Don’t buy useless EMI for expensive cars or gadgets. If you cannot afford it, buy one within your budget, there are all ranges available.
- A job is a contract thats it. They don’t care if you have lakhs in loan or dependent families. Treat it like a task which gets over after working hours.
- This is esp for those egoistic and sadist managers and bosses who derive their sense of worth from humiliating their reportees, making then work on sick and emergency leaves, and creating an atmosphere of bullying.
- No one cares about your job or career progression outside your office. Don’t make it important than your family and health and give the same treatment to all your team members.

To not be attached to a company, they're never attached to you.
All the bullshit about caring about a mission is fuck all.
They'll kick you out on any day. You can't get attached to a mission. It's only making money and becoming better at your craft.
- Start SAVING early in life and build a sabbatical corpus in addition to life investments.
- Have minimum 6 months of current monthly expenses and if you’re senior in your career stage minimum 12 months of expenses set aside in your sabbatical fund.
- As hard as it is to acknowledge, it’s a job at the end of the day and the realization is that it shouldn’t define you or be such a huge part of your identity that you can’t deal with it’s loss
- Spend more time with loved ones AND yourself every day. At the end of it all, you are merely a “resource” for the company. It’s not worth the late nights and weekends work.
- Cultivate one or two interests or passion areas that you can participate in. Makes life interesting and a lot more worthwhile.
- Enjoy the now. You can only plan so much for what you know/anticipate.

HR are hired to save company not employees.
I have worked for Persistent Systems 2 years, one day hr asked to share the screen and do resign, given me 5 days to submit company assets and leave. This is called silent layoff and they are doing it from past few months, how shame it was. They do parallel hiring and firing, because to show government and market and for promotion that they have projects and hiring people. This says loyality, the same company took 4 rounds with 10 days time to release offer letter. Loyalty has went down like anything.

Always have second source of income
Haan abhi sabhi companies to profitable Bane ki yaad aati hai
Do NOT Stretch. You are paid for 8 hours, work for 8 hours. If you get bored easily, learn a new skill in the off shift hours.

@deepbuzz This is the greatest takeaway I had that I could never master. Company hires you for your hours, then whine about taking "ownership" of the product. Fuck that.
1. Keep your head down and keep working on yourself.
2. Just like good days, bad days also don't last.
3. Always have your financial expenses covered for 1 year.
4. Don't be attached to a company.
Look at your job as a 9 to 5 thing and nothing more. Dont be too attached to your company! You are just providing your service to the company. Dont believe companies if they say you are like family, that’s the biggest scam!
HR is just puppets of the management and loyalty is just a word written in books now for the kids.

HR is the company equivalent to waiter's in hotels.
Don’t depend on one source of income. I was never laid off but still I have started something as a side hustle
