I have some advice for young men newly employed,

When you get employed:

• Be grateful to God, your parents, your mentors and your boss for this opportunity

• Work hard

• Respect your employer

• Adhere to your employer's rules and protocols

• Embrace the mission and vision of the employer

However, if working for your employer becomes unbearable due to other reasons,

• Quit respectfully

• Follow the procedures of quitting as written in your contract or employment letter

• Return your employer's resources in your custody

• Handover politely and thank your employer for giving you an opportunity

• Leave with a clean conscience

Don't be chaotic, abusive and contemptuous on your way out.

Don't think you are smarter than your employer.

The employer you are disrespecting gave you a livelihood when you were seeking a footing and direction.

The employer may not have paid you to your satisfaction, but be polite.

Don't go bad mouthing your employer, speaking nastily, and broadcasting your foul mouth while disclosing what is considered private policies, programs, products or services of your former workplace.

Leave courteously.

This way, you open room for better opportunities, newer networks and better leverage.

Don't be a rude employee. Other employers will fear giving you opportunities in the future because they don't trust you.

Be courteous when you close the door behind you, the universe will be kind to you on your way out.

Reputation is sticky. How you leave a job follows you longer than how you joined it.

Associate with the happy and fortunate.

For gratitude, you look backward, for ambition, you look forward. Balancing both is a great hack.

STOP socializing at work

- No drinks after work
- No weekend picnics
- No lunch with the team

Colleagues are NOT your friends.

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

Stop overperforming at work. Act your wage. Your boss doesn't care about you. Save your energy for your personal life.

Not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.

Let's rely not on the liklihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him.

If you are my boss, I will do all in my power to make your life easier. What I won’t do, though, is chase you around. You need to have some skin in the game; otherwise, I’ll be moving on quickly from your team.
