That's simply not true. I busted my ass for years and because I was a producer, I was kept in my role.
Eventually I wised up and left. I put in the absolute minimum effort now and make way more than I have when working hard.
Work smarter, not harder. And only work hard if it's your own company. Hard work only goes so far and will eventually burn you out.
It's not easy. What I found helpful is if you can separate work and personal life. Only work for money unless you start your own business.
Separating the two allows you not to care if the business does poorly, it allows you to not feel guilty when your boss fails or the business does poorly, or needs extra help but you have a date that night.
I was laid off in September from a company, started a new company on Monday, they announced layoffs on Tuesday, and found out Wednesday my job is safe. Suffice to say, companies don't care about you so get in, cash out.
They didn't bring a solution, just their own experience, and even that is probably a story.
"I don't know enough on the topic to have an opinion."... is what I use. I'll even use that if I just don't want to talk about something with someone I know doesn't know the topic
I used Webex at my last job, it was pretty decent.
No, once the FTC is gutted, the isps will resume their stronghold. Data caps, overages, slower speeds, etc.
I switched two years ago.
Being afraid to ask for help, and general pride issues.
They have nap pods, full restaurants, and snack bars, and "fun" office spaces so you don't want to leave the office.
Someone I knew worked there and wouldn't actually buy groceries. He just at at the office for all his meals. He didn't own a car. Rode his bike down or used public transportation.
It saved him like several hundred per month.
They know this and will try to use it as a way to suck you in and keep you in the office longer.
I thought Apple lost this war already?
100 percent agree. Always fight for pay, not for rhe company trying to pay you less.
