Perceptions matter. Loyalties change. Depth shows.

Your “yes” unless it’s a “no” – is taken for granted. No one is going to be more invested in your growth than you.

We overestimate our self-worth. Entitlement is gender, age, demographics, seniority designation, and role agnostic. Power play is real. Ego tripping is real.

You will hear “do as I say” as equally as never hearing “I know it, more than you” even if it’s never said.

Promotion and growth have different meanings to different people. High from salary is short-lived. You make very few REAL friends. Micromanagement is as real as macromanagement.

You need to learn sideways, diagonal, and bottom-up management too.

There is something called as Garden Leave - a practice where an employee who is leaving a job is asked to stay away from work during their notice period, but still receives their pay and benefits

This is given when the employee is fired and the company does not want to give any severance. So they just give them 1 month on payroll without working.

Most of the people have little to no understanding on what they're working on. They are just going with the flow
