[Thread] Grapeviners šŸ‡? Drop one lesson from your learnings at work.

Here’s mine, Care deeply about any work that you touch, give your best and more.

The effort really shows, especially when you can solve something better than what they hoped for.

Contradictory to your lesson… I learned not to get too attached to your code. Bcoz it might just get scraped.

@FunnyBones Oh that’s very interesting. Scraped as in Web Scraping or being purged from the repo?

Purged. Or it just doesn’t go live. So wasted effort.

Avoid office politics and gossiping the most. Imo it doesn't really help and nobody is a friend in the office. Stay away from all this shit, maintain a good solid image of your work and professional integrity. Rest is moh maya ;)

@RamsayBrothers Ever encountered anyone doing this at work? Seems to be the quintessential problem.

Mine is to stay detached from the projects I work on at work. And always keep working on some personal project and allow myself to stay attached to these projects instead of the projects at work.

This gives me a fine balance to handle work and grow.

@TookTook and I could not agree more to this.

Karm pe focus karo, not on Outcome.

Communicate! Communicate!

As engineers, we feel our work will speak but that’s not the reality because people don’t have time for details. Effective communication will make you not only a better employee but help you grow as a leader.

P.S. - There’s definitely a fine line in communication and wasting time of others.

Whatever maybe the case, don’t burn bridges with anyone in office(even be it someone whom you hate to the core). It’s a small world and a long career(4 decades). You never know whom you bump into in the future. Better stay on neutral ground than being on the enemy side. Will save you a lot of trouble and open to lot of options. This is called being diplomatic in corporate.

@Stillgrowing I agree wholeheartedly.

I was lucky enough to be guided by one of my work seniors in the initial years of my career. Thanks to him

Yours is positive. Only thing I got positive from work is credit in account.

My learning- Be detached. The company will survive without you. Stop being there for work "emergencies" at 11 pm. It can wait.

The idea is to take "work" as "work". There is a whole life outside work

Don't bring any kind of feelings to work. Gossips/being angry/favouring someone etc is just complicating your life.

You're only lending your time in return for money. Care only about what will help you make more money or what will help you learn which will help you make more money.

@Maga That’s certainly an interesting way of looking at it.

Hello good people of grapevine,

I have recently started my full-time job as a software engineer, and wanted to start my journey into investing.

After doing a bit of research, I feel SIPs in mutual funds is the way to go forward at this...
