Wth, a wholesome post from Mickey?
Nah, its in shitpost.
Mickey7 must think this is ludicrous crap.
I have all these habits and confirm it’s a shit post, no one cares about these values. They just want to extract as much work from you at the lowest cost and then discard you as soon as you point out all the illegal shit they are doing.
lol #2 can fuck right off. oh okay so MY time is less valuable then which is fine? i will be there when you expect me to. showing up early can make people feel like you are waiting on them and now they are stressed about keeping you waiting. this is such a dumb habit to enforce imo.
Depends a lot on the specific situations. What I imagine is that it also gives you a bit wiggle room. When you plan to be there 5 minutes early you will never arrive stressed (being just in time is very difficult) and it gives you the opportunity to for example shortly talk to someone you meet on the way or get a coffee when you made it in time or think again about what you wanted to talk about etc.
oh sure. i guess i dislike that it’s tied to the expectation of you being a good worker as if that’s the most significant part of arriving early. leaving to give yourself time is centering yourself more.
2 and 6 sound like employer lobbyist paid a visit.
You want easier time firing people, you want mobility of work force, you want headcount that is optimised to the death, you want to pay as little salaries as possible…
At the same time you want innovation, hard work, dedication, loyalty.
We will lie on our resumes and job interviews, we will look real busy, we will do the bare minimum, we will switch to the competitors side the second it looks better, because that’s the work culture you wanted and created.
People whose days are filled with busy-work don’t innovate shit. People who you show zero respect will have zero loyalty. They are just surviving long enough to find something better.
How about a bit more inequality in the system, just to see when it breaks and make an extra buck on the way.
Also habits that will lead you to being taken advantage of. Respect is great, but it must go both ways.
Number 2 sounds like wage theft.

Don’t make promises unless you know you won’t have any problem keeping them.
-
Depending on the context, being early can be just as bad as being late.
-
Taking ownership is good in an environment where honesty and accountability is respected. There are far too many people that are just looking to assign blame, especially when it involves nuance or technical details they don’t fully understand.
-
Assuming reasonable discussions where everyone is acting in good faith. There are absolutely times when you need to shut down an argument before it gets a chance to grow.
-
Don’t be a dick. But you don’t have to cover up everyone else’s dickish behavior, particularly when it negatively impacts the rest of us.
-
Communicate clearly. But sometimes maybe is the correct answer. Uncertainty is a part of life and needs to be factored into decisions.
-
Bring solutions if you have them. But not every problem has obvious solutions and sometimes it’s more important to point it out quickly than it is to be the one with the answer.
-
Under promise and over deliver is generally good advice, but there are also plenty of situations that are strictly pass / fail and extra effort is wasted. Be efficient with your energy and only spend it on stuff that matters to someone.
-
Be supportive and build others up… within reason. Don’t be full of shit.
-
Honest feedback is important. Unless it’s a numerical score used for performance metrics, in which case the requirements are almost certainly unreasonable and anything less than perfect or nearly perfect is basically a disaster.
-
Learn and think, don’t just jump to conclusions. Hard to object to that as long as you aren’t wasting everyone’s time or showing an embarrassing level of ignorance.
-
Don’t let your emotions stop you from thinking clearly. But that doesn’t mean you should ignore them completely. If nothing else, needing to be dead inside to do your job is probably a good indicator that you should find another job.
