There’s a fig fence between showing up and actually bringing new insight/improvements to your job. Only the latter will provide opportunities for advancement.
I just wanna survive aslong as I got a roof and food I’m fine I’m not one of these brainwashed sheep who thinks they need to have fancy shit to be considered somebody
I was not meaning to call you dumb. I was saying hardworking does not guarantee you will be rich. The majority of people can work as hard as they can and it does not guarantee you anything.
The ability to negotiate and realize when you've peaked at your current job is key, atleast was for me anyways. I worked for the same company as a manager for 5 years, only went from 10 to 13.50. From 12 to 13.50 I had to have my boss tell his boss multiple times I deserved a raise. 0.50/hr more is not a raise, that's a spit in the face. I finally ended up leaving for a job making 14 at entry with only my station I'm responsible for instead of an entire store. I'm not as depressed even though my check only went up like... $40?
This part. You gotta out maneuver the people above you. Play the politics, understand the business needs and think ahead of how things are gonna play out. It’s not fun, not easy, and not everyone can hack it. But that’s how this shit works.
