@softlauncheverything: Playing the game in corporate is just as, if not more important than actually being good at your job. Here are some ways I’ve learnt how to play the game as someone from a working glass background, who has been in corporate for 7 years #corporatelife #corporate #playingthegame #performancereview #workingclass
How successful you are in corporate is mostly based on how liked you are and whether you look the part. Fin. Once people decide they don’t like you enough, there’s almost nothing you can do in that space. You could stay and keep doing enough to stay employed or leave for a bigger check and better acceptance. Once I know the right people don’t like me, I start planning my exit bc I hate staying where I’m not wanted.

Best way to survive corporate is create a character for yourself and play that character which understands and plays the game. You only have to be on stage while you’re in work. You can switch back to being a human other times.

On an “anonymous” feedback survey I suggested that we get better hand dryers in the bathrooms. Two weeks later I got an email from facilities letting me know they’ll look into it.

I'm an adult, we're all adults, why tf do we have to play this ridiculous corporate game? What ever happened to doing your job and getting promoted because you were the best at your job

Not to disagree with anything here, but it all comes down to popularity and looks, strategy and performance is absolutely futile without achieving those first two things.

My “team” at my last job was me and my manager. There was no way the surveys could be anonymous 😂
