Random career advice, tell me yours

Thats not really career advice.

Be a good teammate, and unless you have to for management type purposes, don't shite on your coworkers/boss.

I have seen far, far too many people just ruin their career because they got a bad teammate reputation.

Middle management is the fricking worst and will stab you in the back and shite in the wound so they can have an extra slice of pizza at the company Christmas party. Never hesitate to fire off an email letting upper management/owners/execs know what those shitstains are doing in the name of "company culture" because chances are they're oblivious to it.

It is easiest to get a job when you already have one.

don't discuss religion or politics

Loyalty is overrated. Don't ever put your company's best interest over your own.

In my experience, blame shifting is rarely worth the energy or credibility/capital expended, even when you've got a pretty good argument for it. If it falls on your turf, own it and get on with it.

Take it on the chin, protect your good subordinates, and go back to banking goodwill for use the next time something arises.

Close your mouth while you weed eat.

Change jobs and wives every 7 years.

Do not start getting emotional when you are asked to introduce yourself in a meeting.
