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 Most of these lessons are true. I did stay with a company for longer than 4 years because I felt comfortable there. While the pay raises weren't substantial, I learned a great deal and enjoyed the company of my co-workers.

@EndicottAuthor i can understand that, but as a single mother, i was in the same job those last 4 years with very fun coworkers.
However, they gave me more stuff to do, and i've never got a pay raise
so i quit
