“at my next job, things will make sense.”
Do what you love, financial success will follow.
One day… you’ll get the recognition you deserve.
Work will set you free!
Not.
Industry can regulate itself.
Arbeit Macht Frei
…DAMMIT! Beaten by 15 minutes! …back to the hockey game.
You deserve a higher salary.
You get out of your job what you put into your job.
If you do really well, you’ll get that raise and promotion.
You should quit, because it’s easy to find another job, making more money, working closer to home, and working with supportive people.
My own personal favorite is in the ad: “Competitive Salary.” Competitive to whom? China?
Junior high drama won’t exist in my next office.
You should take this 2 week Gizmo Assistant class. It’s only $200, and once you get your GAC certificate you can get a job ANY WHERE YOU WANT. You can practically write your own paycheck!
Your manager will help you build your career. At no point will he cut your legs out from under you to save his own ass, and cripple your career with that business…
Also, you can get hired at a company, and work there for life. A big company is like a family, and they will look out for you.
Your supervisor is the best source of information when it comes to policies and practices.
I’m really loyal to the company, so they’ll be loyal to me!
If you hire this person, she’ll be grateful and never leapfrog over you and get the promotion that you deserve.
Your superiors know and appreciate everything you do for them.
And the flipside of this: If you’ve been at a company for more than five years, you’ve been there too long. You’re a sucker and you’re screwing yourself over. You should always be looking for your next job, and have one foot out the door. And make sure your managers know it! They’ll give you more money and promotions if they think they have to compete to keep you!
Keep busy. Don’t call in sick. Go above and beyond the call of duty.
And when it’s time for raises, you’ll be rewarded!
You should only call in sick if you are contagious or in the ER.
My favourite: The customer is always right.
I work in software support and 90% of the time they are either wrong, (unintentionally) lying or don’t know enough to know what they want. My job is to KEEP them happy. Making them happy by giving them what they (think they) want today will just make them miserable in the future.
