Sorry about the audio gap mid-video - no idea what happened there.

"the guy who got hired in the cube next to you has 10 less years of experience, yet is making 10k more than you, because that's the nature of the job market. Of course, your company won't adjust your salary to reflect this"

[Jupiterxice]

This is why you have to think of yourself as a business. Never stay loyal to a company.

[Johnny-Utah-]

The only people who will remember all those late nights your worked and all the events you missed because you were working, are your children.

[LeviBroflovski]

I wish others in my life had the balls to tell the truth earlier about the hell I would have to go through for a lousy paycheck.Thanks for telling it like it is, Bryan.

[smoothandchunky]

It all boils down to favoritism. If your manager or your managers manager doesn't like you, you're already in trouble.
On the other hand if you're well liked by management, you're set.
Speaking from experience I've been in both situations.
Build passive income and continue to do so to the point you can walk away from the 9-5 grind. Otherwise you're a slave to the grind and traded your dreams for whatever they're paying you.

I did everything right. Worked extra hours, took on extra projects, etc...not with the expectation of getting promoted or a raise; it just seemed like the right thing to do and was part of being a "good" employee. Then, one day, my entire department was demoted to align with business practices followed by a division in a lower cost state. I took my 30 years of experience and niche technical skills learned on the job to another company that values my input. I try to do the best job I can for my own integrity but I will no logger feel loyalty or obligation to a business I don't own beyond what is required by my job description.

"you have to look out for yourself first and foremost because nobody else is gonna do it for you"
Facts. Took a burnout for me to figure it out. In my early 20s I was a sucker for the good old "if you just work hard enough you'll get recognized" mantra. Now I wish I'd spent that time just getting by at my entry level job and spending more energy on learning new skills + networking to eventually have more options.

People are tired of getting exploited. I’m glad people are FINALLY fighting back instead of just taking it & telling people to “be silent”.

[jackcarraway]

I do NOT play games at work. Clock in, shut up and work, clock out. Nothing more, nothing less.

[dat]

I'm paid well but am not happy as I just don't like my manager. Having an adversarial manager who also micromanages sucks the life out of you. But then I found out that the open position in our department had over 100 applicants and realized that that's what I'd be facing if I resigned and applied for another position. So I will stick it out as long as I can but am saving money like crazy in case things don't go well.

[Luna-szuq]

I agree 💯 with this. I tell my coworkers this and they don’t like to hear it. I tell them corporate sees us as a number on a spreadsheet, not as people, and will delete us whenever the need arises. My only loyalty is to my well-being.😅

Moral of the story is work for yourself

[rrangel]

I experienced all of this in 2019. After 20 years of service, laid off, then given a 3-month severance package, and showed the door. Wasted my time being loyal to a Major corporate company. Now I am focused on me, and growing my personal business.

[nicholasrosen]

All too often your boss can lay you off on a whim telling you there's "no work left for you to do" and/or say that they're "cutting expenses." Then roughly a month or less later they either readvertise your job or the boss hires his cousin.

[josiah]

So glad I retired early. My name was on the "list" for raising too many issues. They made overtures after I left for me to come back and handle the tech issues that I warned about while I was there. They could not offer enough for me to come back. I do agree that the most successful people are the ones who have learned to game the system.

[seanmysel]

The motto I live by is, "take no prisoners, take no s***" with work. I have two other income streams, I don't care about advancement and it's just money. The whole job thing sadly is purely transactional. Great vid Bryan!

[Willhart]

I was employed at one company for over 9 and a half years. I was accused of being the bosses favorite for a while. Then, after enough people complained, the favoritism merely swung in the other direction. It was part of having coworkers in wealthy families.

[fremontpathfinder]

Part of this is due to the decline of unions in the private sector. Only 6 percent of private sector employees belong to unions whereas inthe 1950's it was 50 percent. I always encourage my students to consider work in the public sector.

Yup learned it the hard way. Was promised a promotion but end up getting passed on. Saw how easily a VP's relative got promoted, a boss's "friend" got promoted etc.. and all i got was promises. Decided to quit during the great resignation after X many years and was the best thing that i ever did. Saw how underpaid i was when they post my pos with the current market salary. But now I am happy that I made the jump - got the promotion + bump in pay. I was hesitant at first because i do like my old coworkers but it got me thinking, they don't pay my bills and that i have to do what's good for me and my future. Lesson learned. Loyalty should go both ways.
