My unsolicited advice to the upcoming generation.
Damn, you should have turned this into a poll. I wonder how many forum members would have reached their current success by following your advice. My guess is not many if any. Times have changed, maybe it works today.Vegas » Yesterday, 10:13 am » wrote: ↑ **** The Man.
Never give an extra ounce of effort for your work. Whatever you agreed to in the job description is exactly what you should do. Not one thing more. No less either, since you made an agreement to do it, but only the bare minimum to keep your word. Give the extra mile to people who do not see you as replaceable, such as family and friends. Never to a place of employment. Bare minimum at work, and extra mile with family/friends.
Start your own business. Yes, it's hard, but so? Work for yourself. If you have to work hard as hell because you can't help it, then work your *** off to make yourself a lot of money, not somebody else who finds you replaceable.
That Union pay scale said it takes 7 years to receive journeyman pay, I did it in 2 years and was in management by 5 years. That was my first real long term job. Guess I could have stayed in the fishing industry working in canneries or floating processors on the Bearing Sea.
So did anyone here succeed with an attitude like Vegas?
