1. A salary won't make you wealthy 2. Your boss doesn't care about your career growth (debatable) 3. A business pays you the least amount possible to maximize profit 4. Company loyalty is a dumb decision–changing jobs pays more 5. People go to jobs (mostly) cause they don't know what else to do 6. Most people have no idea what their passion is, so they lie 7. Hours worked has nothing to do with value created 8. Most of the stuff you buy keeps you tied to a job 9. Working long hours leads to burnout 10. Job titles are meaningless. They're just ego. 11. You're not entitled to a raise, promotion ... or anything 12. Those who get the best jobs are the ones that network the best The people we lie to the most in our career is ourselves. Stop lying. Face the truth. Then change your life. 208 Likes 30 Shares |

An eye opener... Most employers doesn't care...if you like fall sick and die, immediately you'll be replaced... So instead of working long hours and burning out and thus depleting your health gradually, look for a way and increase productivity at a minimal time interval. Invest heavily in yourself by having multiple streams of income. If company A pays #5,000 and company B comes with a higher offer of #10,000 with vast window to grow, no reason am twice...move to B ASAP. 88 Likes 7 Shares |

Facts, yet staying at home doesn't expose you. No work comes easy. After the first month of working in a new place, my manager told me that; the top boss was asking why should they keep paying me salary? I wasn't surprised. I replied her; "I understood where she was coming from". The next day I started hearing rumors of me getting fired soon. I went to meet the oldest worker and told him what I heard, he told me what I was doing wrong. That he has noticed me too. That im not always around in the office. I told I can't sit down in the office and be waiting for command. It leads to sitting back pains & unnecessary gossips that will come back to hurt me and I was happily doing small errands outside to get small change for my pocket. So they increased pressure from top to hold me down. Every impromptu job was sent to my table. Instead of folding, I got an expensive airpod and kept receiving. I give dates for collection. They didn't care, they kept coming. They wanted a reaction, they received only dates to come back for collection. Everybody starting taking advantage, work wey no come oga, they go dey send am. No shaking. I kept tabs. I call you, this work is done. Send me your email for receipt & review. Positive energy is variola, you would be bewildered with the times people look at you and wonder why you are looking bright and not sitting down and discussing how better other places treat their workers better. Work i couldn't complete before expiration. I will call the Senior before he calls me and tell him his job is done. But my laptop is dead, as soon as I power it up I will send it to you. - "Thank you, I didn't expect you to do that quite fast". So they know. But you gave me unrealistic time range to see me fail. My laptop is not dead, I needed to buy time. Maybe a little 10hrs or more. Give the image of seriousness, work smart, use reasonable lies to your advantage, and spend money on yourself. I have a friend earning more than me, this guy can't buy himself a pair of sneakers because he is always saving while looking unhappy and stressed up to work. I earn, I spend and save peanuts. Multiple peanuts every day rollover to something tangible at the end of the week talk less of month. As a trenches nihgarr, you are not entitled to save. Rich men save, Expose yourself, don't be expendable, I don't engage in gossips but when you tag me I comment, laugh and don't give my opinions. Before you know, I don insert my airpod. I'm tired, I move out, goan take one cold predator or one trophy bottle and better swallow. I press my phone for an hour there. If I'm sacked tomorrow, I can't feel bad coz while I was there. It never changed me. I did the same me, adjusted on my lassitude. Some people will earn, buy two donuts, trek 30mins before and after work to save and all and then think you can manage that for a week, one small malaria hit you. Your weak body escalate it to three weeks sickness. No company will accommodate that work ethics. I work 8 - 5. I take my breaks, video chats, peppersoup - beer moments and laziness stretch seriously. I don't plan to work for anybody for long. I'm hitting business when I'm done gathering my capital from work. 142 Likes 11 Shares |

1. Your salary can kick-start your wealth 2. Your boss can genuinely care about your progress at work 3. That's reasonable; they won't pay you what will hurt the business 4. Most people ain't loyal anyway 5. Many people work because they love it 11. You are not entitled to promotion but your work and worth qualifies you for it 39 Likes 3 Shares |

That salary can't make you wealthy is not entirely true Depends on the salary, depends on the company or job. Not working in access bank or mtn Nigeria oo But some companies have very sweet packages, benefits and career growth that can be a very good way to raise wealth gradually. As long as entrepreneurs are the wealthiest people on earth, only a very few make it. 30 Likes 2 Shares |
