The most important employment lesson.
1. HR is not there to protect you. They are there to protect the company.
2. Document EVERYTHING.
3. Food is not a reward for hard work.
4. Do the bare minimum, or you'll get rewarded MORE work.
5. Use them sick/ vacation time/ PTO.
6. Everyone is replaceable.
7. Keep them emails.
8. Your family is more important than any job.
9. Some of your coworkers secretly hate you.
10. Never stay at one job longer than 4 years unless the pay increase is substantial.

@cmconseils @dreamos82 #4 is also a great way to make sure that you're never promoted or move up in the company. Ask my sister.

@mlanger @cmconseils well I can tell you from my experience tjat whatever you do is not important at all. And apparently thebless competent you are, and easier is for you to advance. If they want to penize you they just look for the needle in the haystack of whatver you do. Also, I work more to make the company earn more without them giving anything back? No thanks!
I given more and they penalized me when i started to ask for a promotion . So...

@dreamos82 @cmconseils I guess things have changed since I was in corporate America. Starting at entry level fresh out of college at age 20, I was managing 13 people, all older than me, when I was 22. I was promoted pretty regularly at two different companies. My salary tripled in eight years. And then I left for a freelance career, bringing along my work ethic, and did very well, retiring at 62.

I've met people like you folks. Here's a tip: attitude is everything.

@mlanger @cmconseils yeah thimgs have changed, i had always good attitude. And never complained, and it didn't bring me anything. And in last 4/5 years things are getting worse and worse.

@dreamos82 @cmconseils Maybe time for a change?
Show threadIvan G.Dec 29
@mlanger @cmconseils yeah that is what i'm doing. But honestly It doesn't change my mind, the corporations wants me to care about them, but they don't care about me. Look at all the layoffs. People that worked always more than they should have done, got fired, now not even by their manager, but by an algorithm.
We are just number for them. So...
And I assure you, things are going downhill, since the only money they spend now is for the shitty LLM stuff...
