1) Teamwork makes the dream work.

As in if you work for me, your work will make my dream work.

2) At this job, we're a family.

3) My dog is totally friendly.

4) HR, we're here for you

5) It doesn't hurt to ask

They say that to keep you out of prison.

:what:
A lot of lying and cheating people making crazy bank in sales, law, and finance completely removed from prison. Hell, every c-suite and director level guy ive ever met in corporate was heavy with lies and deceit , which is ironic because they would be the same ones demanding "integrity" from their subordinates.

Id argue the folks in the correctional system were just the stupid cheaters and liers.

You want to hear some good advice

Yeah, that’s bad advice for 95 percent of people. 🤣
I’d say closer to 99%

How is this bad advice?
If you’ve been being “yourself” and aren’t getting the results you want in life….shyt ain’t workin…whether you’re the nice guy, not getting promoted, not passing interviews, friendships/relationships aren’t lasting…it’s time to reflect and take another approach… stop being “yourself” instead, create your new self to get further in life and overcome these situations

There’s a reason there are frameworks, trainings, guides, etc

Way too much “I’m a queen. I’m perfect”

Most people don’t have positive qualities naturally; they have to be developed. If you've ever wondered why so many people seem unbearable, rude, lazy, and sloppy these days, it’s because too many are just being themselves.
Yea. I wouldn’t limit it to natural positive qualities. Even when it comes to leadership, etc… there are things about “yourself” you have get rid of and develop/adopt new characteristics—speech, language, appearance, presentation, behaviors, etc

I highly doubt someone who is gonna go to a leadership training and they’re told to just be yourself in order to make it to the top 😂

Be a nice guy because that's what women like (said by women) :martin:
Giving advice is a form of complicated projection. Like when folks just blindly tell kids to get an education....any education. They just wish they had and at least in part blame that on their own shortcomings. A lot of times it's the only way they know to wish someone the best.

As far as females wanting a 'nice guy', some females(who aren't full blown sociopaths) know they choose to deal with a lot of bums but they know admitting such something like that will open up for a truth about how they view themselves. Self reflection is scary for a lot of folks. Like more terrifying than jumping out of a plane not knowing if you remembered a parachute scary. It's easier to blame others and place oneself on a pedastal. Even if it isn't a very high one? Anything beats the floor.

Self reflection(some might be familiar with a term called ego death) has value for the mind. Can change your life. Not just blabbing shyt off I don't know with that one. Personal experience which led to personal growth.

Anything preaching forgiveness. A lot of people won’t change and don’t want to change so best to move on from them. Family included
IMO, you forgive for your own mental and spiritual peace. That doesn’t mean forget or be friends with them, but as people, we need to get rid of that hatred before it destroys us from the inside
