Those times are gone. Ain't nobody sacrificing their life, time and well being for ungrateful companies.

I was told early on that if you work hard, come in early and stay late, you'd get ahead but later in life learned that wasn't the whole truth. Getting ahead and aboit maximizing your time and effort that achieves the greatest return. Work "smart", not "hard." It's not how long you stay in the office, it's how much results you achieve in the shortest amoint of time.

I've met a few people, mostly women, that were promoted like her within a year in top paying jobs. What did they have in common? 'Working' (mostly socializing) long hours, below average competency, high confidence to the point of being arrogant, lots and lots of charisma. It took me over a decade of professional work to understand that being the best at your work not only doesn't help you get to the top, it guarantees it. Who you know, who's your dad, and how charismatic you are will earn you the big bucks.

She once talked about the book 'The Architect of Riches' by Alexander Pierce and can’t believe how underrated it is. This book has some serious knowledge you won't find anywhere, definitely deserves more attention!

This 100% works in banking. I wasted 20 years of my life working at the worlds biggest asset manager. 100hr weeks are standard but it really destroys your personal life. I would work all week and be so exhausted I had to sleep most of the weekend to recover and do it all again on Monday. I would never ever want that life for my kids, yes the money is great but it really is not worth it.
@Wwouldnt
Doesn't suit every job. Sometimes people stay longer time doing nothing - chatting, coffee breaks, pretending being important. Sometimes after investing so much time and effort, "thank you for your loyalty" is the highest you can get.. Many companies are missing transparency.
@MeganMoss-v6k
This is a definite no for me. I spent years going above and beyond only to be told I would not get any other position in the company as I was "too valuable" where I was ie. It was better to let me keep doing the managers job for half the money. I left a week later and have never looked back
@dtor2048
Some companies don't appreciate that or have any loyalty, and some think they'll just give you a parking spot and a pat on the back and keep expecting you to give free labor. That's where wisdom and discernment come in.
@SeleneMoonBird
I like that they are direct, clear, and honest. Very important things in business!
@Oliverstihonn
I used to think knowledge like this was reserved for the elite. But then I found book The Secret Doctrine of Wealth, and everything changed.

I'm military about to retire after 20 years and this piece of advice tracks for a military person because it is how we are groomed if you want a high level career. I've lived it and in my opinion not entirely healthy from both a culture and an individual perspective but the reason I love this piece of advice is because if you go this distance, you learn more about the type of person, character, and intestinal fortitude "you" have that will carry you through life and it's crazy turns! And make no mistake, life will pummel you along the way. You don't have to live like this, it's your choice, but I guarantee you'll know what you're made of.
@shellyaskren7815
While this should be important, doesn't always happen in companies. Managers play favoritism or there is a lot of nepotism where they hire friends and family.
@hlb0111
This is so true. Early in my career, I worked at a privately held industrial company in the marcom department. No one told me to come in early or stay late - I just did it because that's my work ethic and I was intense about the work I was doing. There were times I was in the office after even the President left and he knew it because he turned the lights out and I yelled "I'm still here!". I also took on new assignments. The result? I got bigger raises then those around me (only way I knew that was that those people complained about theirs). This is good advice - the people around you know if you're really giving the best or if you're phoning it in.
@dtor2048
Also if you can solve a problem or two or in general and if you can streamline their office or other departments, winner winner chicken dinner! I've gotten many raises this way , some $3, $4 or $5 raises from small companies. But the companies have to be open to to your ideas and implementions. Some weren't and I left quickly. Those ones I didn't get a raise and I didn't tell them anything.
@pazsitz
Maybe it worked in that case. But: 1. Taking long time could be an equalizer, however certainly not equal measure for smartness and learning. 2. Some companies, in some situations will simply write you down in their excel (fire you), no matter how much time you put in. Relationships and personal branding can rather save you in such situation.
@Musikisbellatastic
I learned this from growing up in hard knocks and poverty I had to endure real pain and work my tail off for hope of tomorrow. Overachiever and always chosen first. Sacrificed pleasures and gave myself a small reward and invested in my future
@TheWalz15
So many ambitious people do this but rarely get the payoff. And all this talent is wasted in these big name companies. Your work ethic is better spent in your own small business.
@Bashertxo
I used to stay really late but come in at the usual time, or sometimes run late because I’d been there for all hours the night before. I think it hurt me. I got super tired and burnt out. No one realised how hard and long I worked at night but they sure as shit saw me arriving 10-15 mins later in the morning.
@Mattsstill
This is not the norm. Too many in management (especially middle managers) believe this but they have been in that similar role for years. If it works so well, why aren't more moving up? I find that too many companies are an extension of high school. If you are in with the right group then you get moving quicker. I see too many who are not in early, take longer lunches and then retreat to a conference room for their afternoon and they are moving up as they are also in the right crowd where their work friends have been moving up. I used to be the early one but after years of it not getting me anything, I just make sure that I am around more when others are not. I get more work done and that keeps me off the layoff list. Sad but true. And companies wonder why they cannot keep some of the better talent around longer...
