Working w/Cacs (Corporate)

[NinoBrown]

Got a new gig, military but its political like a corporate environment.

What are some tips? In a way im at my supervisors mercy until i make some rank, because they have to train me and basically teach me my job. They kinda do the bare minimum, and are trying to prolong me from going to a mandatory school that teaches me about my job.

They called me when i was off like "Yea we feel like you dont have enough field experience, we want to push your school date back 2 months" They said this knowing im starting from ground zero and the formal school, thats mandatory will help me become more proficient at my jobi told em i wanna keep the date and they fell back.

What are some tips to keep in mind? I already volunteer for projects, show initiative, stay humble, work with the guys who been there for 20+ years, but some of em are still being difficult.

Don't confide in cacs, they will use your weaknesses against you.
- Document everything via email, don't agree to projects or tasks without email verification, otherwise it is he/said she/said and you will lose as a brehs.
- Don't drink and party with these cacs
- Don't get drawn into politics and whatnot, it will expose your trueself and they will paint you as "Angry Black Man"

All of this, do it initially, now I just walk to work with my chest puffed out like Killmonger as I have gained significant experience to ngaf....

Stay engaged ENOUGH. Being detached is a career killer

Literally just soak up as much knowledge and game as you can from everyone ahead of you.

Lot of yall in this thread sound like scared little nikkas...smh

Take it from a black man who been in the corporate workplace longer than some of yall been alive...

This keep it serious at all times and don't mingle with whites shyt is going to get you nowhere career wise...

CACs by their nature are habitual line steppers and will test you, it is important that in the office you maintain your level of professionalism at all times...When they step on that line you have to verbally smack them while maintaining your professionalism...You also have to remember their humor ain't like ours, what we find funny they find offensive especially white girls...A lot of them like to dish out jokes but can't take them...Within minutes of meeting them you'll know who you can joke around with and who has that stick up their ass...

The most important thing to remember is don't tell them anything personal you don't mind them repeating because they're going to hold that over you...That doesn't just apply to CACs, that's not an exclusive trait, every race has that shyt...Suburban c00ns are just as bad...

I don't care how nice and friendly Patty is, ALWAYS keep your personal shyt to yourself...

besides the usual corporate advice like being professional, never engage in gossip, etc, the best advice is fake it till you make it, meaning you need to do whatever you can to get ahead, be aggressive in letting people know what you want but be smart about it.

So barring impeachment, will Trump win a 2nd term in 2020?

It's a forgone conclusion, whites and latinos won this for Trump and will do it again

This is 100% true.

I probably posted this before but it bares repeating.

When i worked in Tulsa, needless to say most of my coworkers were cacs. And most of the men open carried.
They brought their guns to work, had them in their pants or on their desks.

All of them had guns, and they ALL had temper issues.
A server goes down "FUKKING BULLshyt GOD DAMMIT MAN!!!" slamming their hands on the table, etc.
They miss a dev deadline "JESUS F CHRIST shyt" screaming loud as hell.

You get the picture. Gun-totting cacs with short fuses. Stage is set.





Aight so ONE day I come in with a bad mood and I realize that some of my overnight scripts failed to run properly and I let out a loud groan.



Tell me why one of the open-carry cacs (Brian) comes into my office and is "You ok there buddy? You seem kinda upset?"

I'm like "i'm fine"

Then he goes "shyt man that was loud, I thought you were gonna shoot the place up!"





.....
You. got. to. be. fukking. kiddng. me
I was speechless... this cac with his gun sticking out of his pants is afraid that i'm going to shoot up the place cuz I groaned?



Cacs can't help themselves.

They were about to do you like that John Wick poster.

Avoid after-work activities at all costs

Do not put any pics of family on your desk

DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN POT LUCKS

Don’t allow any cracker to start telling jokes as it will always lead to something bad

Always watch your lunch if you take it to work and prepare it in the break room

Always do your job faster and better than them, but watch out for having work dumped on you

I thought I was the only one.


I stash or lock up my water bottle at my desk so nobody can mess with it too. Can't trust them with anything
