What's the most important thing to be successful at work? These days most places have a flat hierarchy, do don't move up the ranks.
There's still a power structure though and you have people diagonal to me that I have to work with as part of my duties, but aren't coming directly from my boss. It gets confusing and stressful when things are out of your control but you're still responsible for it to some degree.
It's definitely not working harder than everyone else
Just get shit done and figure stuff out without having to be micromanaged and you're good 2 go

Show up on time, get your work done, and project confidence like you got an 8" cock. No one will mess with you. The loudest in the room are the weakest. Teflon skin, nothing gets to you.
Jordan Perry
>figure stuff out without having to be micromanaged I forgot about this, yeah I try to only ask my team members questions and then if it's important >hey boss this is what I plan to do for this project
>solve problems Yeah real problems, seems there's the job you were hired for, but then also a bunch of extra secondary stuff that nobody else knows how to do, but is still critical. If you figure that out you can always be the savior.
Luke Jenkins
being the biggest cuck that pretends you like people the most. you're welcome, enjoy your success

Flexibility. Be ready to move, and move often. Take every opportunity, no matter how much it threatens your comfort zone. Everything is a trade off - money, or family. Money, or hobbies. Money, or drug lifestyle. Money, or vidya games.
Almost every successful person I've met was flexible to change, and rolled with it, and never took their eye off the prize. They had no comfort zone, comfort meant they were stagnating.
Zachary Edwards
Smile at your boss and pretend to care about putting 8 hrs in so they can pretend to have power over you. Do your job and try to ask as few questions as possible so as not to annoy others. Be social. God help you if you are not social enough. Dont ask for a raise or your job will be outsourced no fucks given.

>project confidence I have a hard time doing this when there's a subject I don't know much about which can be a lot of the time and is just the nature of the business. >i-i think it's this >l-let me double check People definitely pick up on that shit though, sometimes it's better to just be confidently wrong >oops my bad
Hey user Anonski! How're the wife and kids doing, say you need any more insurance?
This is a risk, it's a fine balance. I find there's a lot of processes that people just don't understand and might only come up a few times a month, so you learn that and all of a sudden are indispensable. That's what I mean in the op that the hardest working isn't the best thought of, you definitely don't want to be the guy pulling all nighters.
John Morales
LOL. You have no idea what the executive level is like, do you? It's all politics after a certain point. "Project confidence" doesn't mean shit when that MBA with a diploma still wet from the printer is gunning for your job. What you project is POWER, and the ability to take your competition out so hard everyone is afraid to fuck with you. Being a clock puncher means shit, someone with real power doesn't show up because the clock says they have to, they show up when they want to. Get your work done? LOL. A real winner has others do it for him - being management means being good at delegation, the hourly scrubs do the real work.
You talk like a puppy, who's about to be snacked on by the wolves. I love little wet noses like you, you're fun to watch when you slink out of the door with your shit in a box, escorted by security, after a round of layoffs.
Charles Watson
Second most important thing, after flexibility, is not giving a fuck about anyone else, and thinking anyone gives a fuck about you. It's business, not personal. If you're butthurt personally, you lose. It's business. It's war. You play to win, and you play well, or you pack your shit and walk, or you hide in the cubicle farm. You can't have empathy or sympathy.
Mason Thompson
t. middle management lol
Op, notice the amount of tryhard in this post. These ppl will smile in your face no matter what (no matter what). Great fun to troll remember to steal his idea and learn all the indespensable shit so his boss feels comfortable enough laying him off for you.
Brody Hernandez
Stay out of drama
Don't pay attention to others
Things will be unfair, deal with it
Be consistent and persistent
Justin Smith
Most places are full of people trying harder to push their work on to others. Be the go to expert in your area of responsibility and you’ll be fine.

Michael Taylor
Middle management is where you go on the way to the top, little faggot. But I'll let you pretend to know what the fuck you're talking about, and not squash your NEET to CEO daydreams that you jerk off too. But I'll only be nice like that, because i know you'll never be a threat to anyone in business, ever.
Leo Morales
Never worked in retail or in that industry, sorry.
>buzz my hair every few months uh oh I once had it long enough to do the slick back and would comb it back after I got out of the shower so it would stay like that, it's a hard look to pull off.
Ryder Smith
You sound like a real shark! I'll watch out for you when you break from the ranks in the cubicle farm. I'm retired from the corporate game, but thanks for the projection.
Jackson Lee
Of course you are, because everyone on /biz is perfect, has never made a mistake, and are industry titans with billions in the bank.
LOL.
Jose Carter
Get your cornhole waxed.
Angel Cox

t. lifelong middle management Let me sell you some durable kneepads.
Jason Sullivan
Oh, look, another NEET who thinks you get hired as a CEO without working lower level jobs on the way up.
LOL. You NEETs are adorable, with the fantasies you make up about how the real world works.
Josiah Cruz
>on the way up
pfffffft AHAHAHAHAHA
Dick in sand babby. Youll make it one day if u do ONLY as i say.
Adrian Johnson
he said he’s middle-management retard
Isaac Ross
also you’re a loser
Jaxson Cooper
Yep. Exactly what I thought.
Landon Price
Wow man you are a real Alpha. "Brah business is like war". You seem like the sort of faggot who watches shows like Suits and Billions and think this is what business in real life is like. Top kek.
Jose Anderson
Take initiative and fix shit before being told to. Then go to your boss, explain that you found a problem, and that you have either already fixed it or came up with a solution and are just looking for his go ahead to implement it.
Most bosses (I am one) will jizz their pants if they have a employee that doesnt need to be told to throw water on a fire.
If your workplace is already fine tuned and running well, and everybody else is seemingly competent and social, then you need to find other ways to stand out.
Basically you need to figure out a way to save or make the company more money. Even if it is just sourcing amenities from a different supplier and cutting a couple hundred bucks a month.
Noah Johnson
And you sound like an angry little NEET larping from Mommy's basement.
Jonathan Phillips
you sound like you’re 10
Jose Watson
Working for someone and not having your own business, fucking wagecuck faggot.
Tyler Carter
you sound like a complete faggot desu too much adderall?
Gabriel Mitchell
No more (you)s for you, neckbeard.
Jason Harris
I hate the rat race. I absolutely hate it and I'm just trying to escape it because it can't compete. I can hold a low level job no problem but I lack the motivation, aggressiveness and social smarts to move up. That being said noone is moving up at those levels in thje companies I've been working for. Crabs in a basket.
Samuel Ramirez
i get promoted everywhere i go because i'm competent, but once i'm responsible for other people i hate it because i don't want to deal with other people's bullshit. dunno what to do, staying at the bottom doesn't pay well but i always end up quitting and moving on after i have to be responsible for other people
Austin Reed
I bet you’ll go to school for finance to be the next Wolf of Wall Street and then get your ass handed to you when actual businessmen recognize you have no value as an employee
Gabriel Butler
>be developer/operations >be better than all but the few absolute "rockstar" devs out of Stanford/mit/etc >paid less than some devs who are obviously worse than myself >boss loves me because he knows that I'm being paid at a rate that's essentially a steal, I'm quick to figure out solutions to emerging problems, eager to pick up tickets that other devs are struggling with >Don't really give a fuck about "climbing the ladder" as I'm making more than I ever thought I'd be making a few years ago >Develop close relationships with Senior Management and team leads
It's all about perspective I think. I'm pretty comfy. I wouldn't be nearly as comfy if I was gunning for senior management roles though. What do you truly want out of work? Do you absolutely need to be worshipped by coworkers whom you probably don't give a shit about? Or could you be content making decent money while having the mental energy outside of work to pursue personal hobbies/projects?
Aaron Martin
checked and this, this is true. managing people is gay. people are gay. so i quit that shit and started a dog walking business and make a *ton of money* just going on hikes with pups. literally easymode living, i've never been happier. if you live in a well-off and commute-heavy area, people are almost guaranteed to have pets that need taking care of, and they will pay good money to make sure they are taken care of well.
Ethan Torres
Oh no don't hurt me alpha man, I just can't compete with your cunning and killer business instinct. I just don't understand business as well as someone who watches every episode of Billions and Suits and parrots lines from the movie Wall street on an image posting site. You really are an alpha business man, you remind me of the "closer" in Glengarry Glen Ross. So cool man!
Andrew Cruz
>Or could you be content making decent money while having the mental energy outside of work to pursue personal hobbies/projects?
Always this unless adderall
Adam Jackson
>boss loves me because he knows that I'm being paid at a rate that's essentially a steal Doesn't this bother you? Granted a good work environment has value too, but still.
>What do you truly want out of work? I just don't want to worry about the future. It's an unobtainable goal.
>mental energy Even if I sneak out for a 7 hour day I don't have much energy afterwards. And weekends are a drunken blur with restless sleep. I'm trying to be more aggressive in my lfie and take things rather than just go through the motions, metaphorically. Success at work is a good a goal as any and it does bring me some joy.
Cameron Ramirez
Jesus christ, you whine like a little girl.
Andrew Clark
Kek, holy fuck you have some shit come backs, it seems I was spot on with my analysis of your pseudo alpha business chad persona. You probably are fresh out of uni and don't have a clue what you're talking about. You're a real alpha bro!
John Martinez
this is trolling at the highest level. nobody is actually this much of a massive fag. top kek
