Hard Work Is A Fucing Scam Smh

[Apollo Creed]

The harder you work the more work they want you to do.

Gotta be able to do enough to get you noticed, yet less so you don't come off too good. I've mastered that.

I know people who are brilliant, and subject matter experts in what they do, but they dont work smart, so yea they get raises but companies are like why promote John Doe and lose a subject matter expert when we can just give him annual raises and he be our departments work horse and the manager gets all the glory from John Does "hard work"

You know how many doctors are dumb as hell, but love what they do/passionate about their jobs where they can do it with their eyes closed? Go to GA Tech or Stanford, those schools aren't hard, those schools are set up in a manner where they know their kids are smart and their goal is to make the students learn how to think more efficiently. Only time you work hard is if you just aren't good at what you do.

I'll never figure out how you loser ass nikkas think. So a job is easy if you know what you're doing...you don't say. It's not like you have to work hard to obtain said knowledge or anything. I mean, a scrub like you can just walk into any hospital and be a doctor without doing much of anything, right? You post your paystub yet?

man these dudes work retail, if you work a non retail job, you would know "working smart" isn't some mystical concept. Hell even in retail, you have people who are natural salesmen, so while you are "working hard" to hit sales quotas, these cats consistently hit goals because they developed a system that is efficient and works for them. Any person that steps into a job or creates a business and does not create a plan of action of how they will do their job in the most efficient way is a damn fool.

Yeah I try to consider the fact that people are in different industries so of course that 100k is going to seem far off when your industry caps at $50k. I can think of at least 4 friends I know that make over 100k and their jobs aren't consistently demanding at all. I mean everyone gets a busy period but the typical day to day is smooth.

lol go kick rocks, hell I look like posting paystubs online?

Be offended "working hard" didnt pay off for yourself brehs

Yup, thought so - another loser ass nikka with a big mouth. If you're not making shyt then maybe you should keep your thoughts on how to make money to yourself.

Hard work doesn't necessarily mean physical and demanding labor but it does mean consistent effort even past the point of exhaustion. You can't want something but half ass take the steps to achieve it.

yeah, but if you're working in corporate america, you will routinely see that the hardest worker doesn't get rewarded the most.

Yea folks think working 2 jobs or 40+ hours is "grinding". Or the whole "Sleep is for the weak".

Other than salary, whats the difference in working two jobs and putting in 100 hrs of work per week in corporate?

 

[definition]

Breh you discovered a secret of the work world. The higher up you go, the more power you have, which means less people to answer to, more people to delegate work to, and the easier work is. Plus you get to take credit for all that shyt.

This is mostly true. I got promoted last year. I worked MUCH harder in my previous job (though, the previous steps on the ladder were not as hard) than I do now.

Bascially, i used to have to perform regular work tasks, then develop the business processes/rules required to complete them, and explain them to people. Got promoted to a completely different section -- now, I write the business rules and processes for the regular work tasks that other people do (those people don't work for me). Still writing/presenting/explaining ... but that's my daily work now, instead of the shyt ON TOP OF my daily work.

BUT, I've certainly noticed that my boss (where I'll be with one promotion) knows much more than i do, and also works harder. So, basically, I'm good for now. Not interested in the next level until my kids are old, or I become ambitious or something.

Long story short -- put in effort. But put in the RIGHT EFFORT. Grinding for its own sake (sold to us as "work ethic") is bad business. Make sure your work is leading you somewhere you want to be. If it isn't, find some work that will, and work hard at that.

Steve Jobs told me that even if you love it's hard work, but coli billionaire tyc00n @CashmereEsquire is telling me only grunts work hard.

 

[Rawtid]

yeah, but if you're working in corporate america, you will routinely see that the hardest worker doesn't get rewarded the most.

It depends on how you view it. I work hard at my job not because I want a promotion but because I want the skills and experience. I don't have an allegiance to any employer so I don't sit around waiting for them to value me in the form of a promotion. I learn all I can and go to the next company and ask for more money. That's why I don't mind contract work and I don't work for a company that uses a bunch of outdated technology.

yea, my thing is yelling out salaries means nothing, too many variables in determining if a salary is really "good", for example in ATL 80 is great, but in San Fran 80k is entry level and very low. Even then if you have a business owner making 50k a yr but you live on 30k, you're winning if you ask me.

take advice on hardwork from one of the most famous and known manipulators in American Business History brehs

both are dumb.

Now keep in mind when I say two jobs I`m not talking "I work for So and So during the day, then run my business at night", I`m talking about slaving for 2 things you dont own just to be able to afford what ever lifestyle you have become accustomed to.

But IMo moving around gets tired. I'd rather be appreciated at the company i'm already dealing with and many times that's not the case.

It does but why wait around? That's just like being in a crap relationship waiting for things to get better. For me I have no problem using a job as a stepping stone and no intentions of settling at one place unless it's the salary and environment I'm comfortable with.

To be honest, "wanting to be appreciated" = taking this work ish personal. IMO the key is to perform at a high level so being promoted is a no brainer for the company and you have the track record to back it up, but even then promotions shouldn't just be used as "pay increases", they should be swords for your resume. Lots of people get a sweet job and think they made it and just get comfy because they think they will be in the role forever, then one day the job gets crappy and they feel stuck because they are so dependent on the company and haven't gained any skills or progress that would make them competitive on the job market. Sooooo many companies offer tuition reimbursement, free/discounted training, etc on things that nobody takes advantage of. When I get promotions I dont just think about how it impacts my company I think of how now it makes me eligible to get the equivalent role or maybe higher at another company, so I can asses my options to see what is best for me and my family.
