If you are able to not take a loan and still achieve a goal then fine.

Re SLB. One of the best things that I have done.

I took it for 3 years to do my BSc. That led me to do my Msc.

My monthly payment was about 10k.

HR: We lost the new hire today.

CEO: What happened?

HR: He resigned after his first week.

CEO: That makes no sense. We doubled his previous salary.

HR: Yes, but salary was not the issue.

CEO: Then what was?

HR: You asked him why he left at exactly 5:00 p.m. And why he left the office before you did.

CEO: I was just trying to understand his mindset.

HR: He understood it clearly. He felt the company was not paying for his work, but for control over his time.

CEO: But commitment matters.

HR: So do boundaries. He finished his work, met expectations, and left on time. But instead of that being seen as professionalism, it was treated like a lack of loyalty.

CEO: People should not rush out of the office.

HR: He was not rushing out. He was simply leaving when the workday ended.

CEO: Still, it did not look right.

HR: That is exactly why he left. He realized very quickly that even with better pay, the culture expected presenteeism over performance.

CEO: That is unfortunate.

HR: Yes. We offered him double the salary, but also gave him a preview of a workplace where leaving on time becomes a character issue.

CEO: So what are you saying?

HR: If employees are judged for having boundaries, then no amount of money will make them stay.

A higher salary can attract people. But if respect for time is missing, it will not keep them.

When people exclude you, remain excluded.

We finally have a line to use for future kids 😭😂

[Lij @lijitimate]

I act like I’m okay but deep down I want a 4-day work week.

To all my fellow $TJH stock holders. Goodmorning 😅

The candidate stopped mid-interview. "Can I ask you something?"

HR nodded.

"This is my 7th interview this month," she said.
"And you're the 7th person to ask about my biggest weakness."

HR shifted in his chair.

"I've prepared for everything.
Technical assessments.
Behavioral questions.
Case studies.
Culture fit."

She opened her notebook.

Pages of research.
Company values highlighted.
Recent news articles printed out.

"But you haven't asked me a single question about how I'd actually do this job."

Silence.

"Where do I see myself in five years?" she continued.
"I see myself solving the problems you're hiring me to solve.
But we haven't talked about those problems yet."

HR replied.
"These are standard questions to assess..."

"To assess what?" she gently interrupted.
"Whether I can recite the same answers everyone else memorized from career blogs?"

She wasn't angry. Just tired.

"You have a 30% turnover problem in customer success"

"Three competitors just poached your best people."

HR's eyes widened.

"I know because I researched.
I prepared."

She closed her notebook.

"I need this job. I really do.
My savings run out next month.
But I need you to need someone who can solve problems.
Not someone who performs well in interviews."

Long pause.

"So, what would you like to know about how I'd fix your retention crisis?"

HR pushed aside his question sheet.
"Tell me everything."

They talked for one hour.
Real problems. Real solutions.
No script.

Go the offer.
She started three weeks later.

Within six months:
Turnover down to 8%.
Two competitors tried to poach her.

She stayed.

Because they finally asked the right questions.
And she'd been waiting 7 interviews
to give the right answers.

Cookie-cutter questions get cookie-cutter candidates.

The exceptional ones?
They're interviewing you right back.

And if you're not ready for that conversation,
you're not ready for exceptional talent.

Two years from now, at this exact time, I'll be standing in the places I used to dream about. Send this to yourself.

[Mia♡ @luxemiaa]

Honestly, I want to be outside next year, and I don’t mean clubs and parties. I mean travelling, hiking, picnics, trying new restaurants, stuff like that.
