Corporate Lies You Need to Stop Believing Before It’s too Late.

Corporate lies you need to stop believing before it's too late. I'm Yasser, I've spent 15 years in global leadership positions as a global VP. 

Here's the secret truth about corporate. I've watched this play out a thousand times. 

Truth #1, hard work gets you more work. Strategic visibility gets you promoted.

The person who stays late gets another project. The person who speaks up in the exec meeting gets the promotion. 

Truth #2, your manager isn't keeping you because you're irreplaceable.

They're keeping you because you're convenient. The second you become inconvenient, you're gone. Act accordingly.

Truth #3, loyalty is dead. Job hoppers make 30 to 50% more than loyal employees. Your company knows this.

They're banking on you not knowing it. 

Truth #4, we're a family means we expect you to work for less and complain less. Families don't fire you when the budget gets tight.
Companies do!

Truth #5, office politics isn't optional. It's the game.

You're either playing it consciously or you're losing unconsciously. Pick one! 

Truth #6, your yearly review was decided three months ago. That meeting, it's a performance. The decision's already made. 

Truth seven, HR protects the company, not you!

Never forget whose paycheck they're on. Truth eight, we don't have budget means we don't have budget for you. Someone else will get that raise.

It just won't be you. These aren't truths to discourage you. They're truths to wake you up.

The corporate game has rules. Learn them or get played by them.

Send this to yourself as a reminder and follow for more.
