Work like a dog brehs

[At30wecashout]

What were you doing? I used to work at Pepsi where the minimum was 12 hours per day.

Nursing home waitstaff. My section had the most interaction with residents, even over CNA's/Nurses, and I took on the dreaded shift cause it was back to back.

4 days gone to 13-14 1/2 hour shifts consecutively. Met great people over the year and change, and was finally motivated to not do anymore food service.

That and retail can eat a dikk. I'm a career man now.

Aye dog fukk what they're saying. Volunteering for projects is how you'll earn new skills and pick up experience. It'll also help you decide where you might want to take your career going forward. Work hard but make sure you don't take on more than you can handle, use your own judgement. It'll pay off breh.

Don't wear yourself out, breh.
Make sure you're feeding yourself well, getting some time to work out, and carving out time to go out and relax.

I'm 20, make 104k (annualized, only doing a 4 month internship though) and I feel like I do 4 hours max of focused work on a good day. But that's pretty normal in knowledge work/software development specifically.

Work smart, not hard. Learn how to lie, be fake busy and fake smile then get the fukk outta there.

Exactly

seen people on 100k leave on time everyday

This is one of like 3 posts that isnt talking our of their ass in here.

I can tell alot of yall are young, havent been in corporate long, or have a very unique experience.

When u youre younger and have the energy and time you should load up on projects (dont overextend yourself), if youre working 50 hours thats normal. Shine in the opportunities youre given so you build credibility. Become someone that they cant afford to lose and start networking and getting familiar with the powerbrokers in your department or column (dont tell your immediate coworkers that you are meeting and working with those people). Work witb your mgr to develop are career track and about 6 months in when your resume is looking better start floating your resume and developing other opportunities. When its time to get a big raise or get promoted you will get flack, thats when having an outside offer on the table, being indisposable on projects and having the backing of big wigs will force their hand.

Doing it this way requires some sweat equity, but its a way that works 90% of the time.

But being fake busy, avoiding work, leaving right at 4:00 when there is work left to do is going to get u fuked up as a black man that justed started there.

Yall need to listen to this dude....

I can always tell when someone is trying to fake being busy and bullshytting....most of my coworkers can tell too. And once you get that labeled as a bullshytter, its impossible to shake that shyt. When I don't have shyt going on I always go to people and ask if they need help with anything, even the muthafukkas I don't like.

@NeilCartwright and anyone else that is spinning plates but not necessarily "getting anywhere", read this book. It was recommeneded to me, isnt too long, and is full of invaluable advice.

There's a white bytch I work with that has cost us thousands of dollars from not having simple expense receipts. I made a New Person At The Job mistake and best believe the shade started being thrown.

You aren't crazy dog. Don't get drunk at the holiday party though

So true

What you mean?

I had a handful of black guys/girls tell me that. I walk into a brief and they already assume I don’t know shyt. Asking me about my undergrad degree, questioning it (even though I went to an HBCU in Atlanta) damn near black Ivy League.

You saying to just do the same amount of work everyone doing?

Just do your best. But do it with the aim of eventually transitioning your best into entrepreneurship so you're getting the lions share.

Black people don't have to work twice as hard as white folk to prove anything. All we have to do is our best. What I've found is that our best usually far exceeds anything white people could even dream of accomplishing themselves. Which is why they do so much lying and stealing.

What Black people need to learn now is how collectively to do our best for ourselves, instead of doing it to prove something to white people or to keep/advance on a job, so that Black people benefit first and foremost.

I agree not sure what OP meant but

He somewhat implied that he was working hard to prove something to white coworkers or something. I don't cosign that.

My first job I took on alot of projects but I only did it for myself and my experience, had nothing to do with being promoted or recognition. I didn't feel exhausted that much either cause everything thing i did I documented and emailed to myself for future reference when I leave.

Cause I would never plan on staying at a job more than 2-3 years unless I received a promotion or I'm in an executive role.

I get hired and I'm automatically thinking about leaving in 2-3 years unless promoted.
