Living the dream
Learned this from my white coworker.
Dude has an appointment for everything on his calendar. Even stapling papers he'll block out 30mins.
That devil taught me some shyt!

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.

I work from 8:00am to 9:00pm Monday through Friday.
..........like nikka thats a 8 hour shift........
Shyt don’t make sense. I just started a new job and I been working like a mf dog. 0730 and I don’t leave til 4 sometimes 5.
I wanna make a good first impression, bc lord knows the old me was on some bullshyt. I was lazy as fukk and quit or left every other job or internship I had. Now I’m turning 24 im tryna change my ways
But I had some senior ppl be likeslow down you working too much. But I keep getting tagged with side projects. A Nikka can’t barely do the job I was initially hired to do.
I see cacs around my pay grade, talking that shyt like “Idk why you volunteering, that ain’t gon get you no where” They always playing the back on some hoe shyt. You know we gotta work twice as hard so I breh tryna hold it down.
Where’s the line brehs I’m conflicted![]()

"I work in IT, we have weekly stand ups with our managers where we talk about projects and other bullshyt we are working on. TRUST ME, you dont wanna be the clown who is like.... "uhhh Im chilling this week"
You will be a prime candidate to get cut whenever they decide they want to do a lay off.
Maybe i’ve gotten to old and ornery...Are you in corporate? If so, you have to create the line. Prioritize tasks and say no when you have to. Take like 30 minutes before the work day starts to prioritize everything you have to do. Block out time on your calendar for each project, lunch breaks, meetings, etc.Shyt don’t make sense.

I call it doing the monkey for the honkeyWork smart, not hard. Learn how to lie, be fake busy and fake smile then get the fukk outta there.
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.
who is the dude? Bc Nikkas didn’t even know I reported to the unit yet and they got me doing this bull.
I even got black friends at other units and they told me straight up their command don’t make them do all these side projects and shyt. Got me wondering why they have other junior officers at my unit who can do the shyt I’m doing but they put it on the guy who only been there for 2 monthsthink those are long work hours brehs![]()
