i got a fun question! whats the one piece of advice you'd give someone starting their very first job? or wish you received when you first started?

i'll go first: the ladder is a trap. it sucks climbing it the whole time and there is no cake. bonus: it's never worth it to work with assholes #career

@ellyxir Asking questions is a super power. Not least those someone might label dumb, because half the room thinks they’re the only ones not knowing the answer, and anyone else will learn something from answering.

@bjoreman omg what a good answer. i often asked something so basic like "why are we doing this?" and people would all stop and stare for a while. asking the really basic questions can be so useful AND people see it as a power move, which is hilarious.

@ellyxir Thanks! I’m curious when exactly it started to dawn on me, but I’m sure it was a very slow process. Especially when it came to applying it myself 😊
