When you've worked long enough, you realize nobody in management actually cares what your problems are on the Frontlines. They expect you to be a soldier and just deal with it. If its really bad, you need to make the choice to move on because they're not going to change anything. Its best to just fly under the radar and not create any waves so you'll have a good reputation when you leave. I learned this after being fired twice lol 😂

The word NO needs to come back into our vocabulary. This includes saying NO to your kids as well. Everyone will get over it. You'll also command more respect.

The typical Ivy League graduate wouldn’t last a week as a public school teacher. And furthermore, persons with extremely high IQs cannot even begin to relate to dull normal people who learn to read only with the greatest difficulty because after all, the average adult in this country only has a sixth grade reading level and an intelligence quotient of about 100 or over 2 standard deviations lower than the average college student enrolled in an elite or highly selective liberal arts college. They can’t even relate to the average college student who studies garbage like elementary education or marketing and is lucky if they even have an IQ of 115.

Rich you've just summed up the conclusion i reached after 15 yrs of corporate experience😂 The most realistic spot on video about workplace ever.

Whats the value that BTC holds? The same value that gold holds. Its limited. It needs some effort to harvest it. And it only works as long as people belivé in it. But, with the advantage, that you can take 1 Million worth over borders, without issuse. Normaly I realy do apreciate your videos, I aprechiate that you share to us your expirience. (Because of you I ggogled Dr. Diamont) But with this topic, I think you are on the wrong boat. Have a greta weekend tho. Thanks for your videos.

I guess I have dumb luck in this area. I would be lying if I said I never missed a deadline in college. But for certain classes, I would even turn incomplete homework assignments because the penalty of turning it in late outweighed those last 20 points I could get. But for papers and essays, I made sure those were complete because I thought you cannot be partially correct in writing like you can math or science problems. Plus, I knew I was getting it easy in regard to papers in college as a STEM major, the least I could do was take every paper seriously. I RARELY missed a class. In hindsight, I didn’t like studying alone or around distractions. I would almost always study in libraries, coffee shops, and other common areas on campus. I just feed off that energy of everybody working. But what that meant was my professors and other faculty would see me studying. When I was looking for a research project in physics, professors I never had classes with already had a good impression of me. When it came to answering questions in class, I was slow compared to others even if I knew the answer. But sometimes those kind of students are too eager to correct the professor. Sometimes they’ll interrupt the professor. I wait a few minutes to see if a lecturer catches their mistake, and if they didn’t I spoke up respectfully. I never had second thought about what I wore in class. For a long awhile, I couldn’t afford to dress a certain way, but I did dress my best and groomed myself.

Thank you for the video! I'm interested to know what you think of this: As far as I know, the way it works here, the one grading your assignment isn't necessarily the professor or the TA, but potentially some graduate student who's being paid to grade assignments for undergraduate courses, so they likely don't necessarily know who you are to begin with. As for the exams themselves: I suppose it's more likely that the professor or the TA are the ones grading, but still: I think that the one grading isn't supposed to know whom they're grading, so unless you make it really obvious who you are, I'm not sure to what extent appearing serious to your professor / TA plays a role here. The main question I'm trying to get at here is: Is it worth making a good impression at the potential expense of going to lectures, which may not be your optimal way of learning?

Right now I'm in my final year of a statistics degree ( the faculty is cybernetics statistics and economic informatics) in europe. My gpa will most likely be shit, between 2.3- 2.7. However, I work as a technical business analyst in data management at a good company and want to continue down this career path ( perhaps swtich to a more technical role such as data engineer). Will having shit gpa hold me down down the road? Should I do a bachelor's again but aim for a better gpa in the future , perhaps get into a not so competitive master and get a good gpa there, or just focus on the job? What would you advise me to do? I'd also like to note that I'd be open to data science job oportunities, but as far as I'm aware they require master degrees.

and better not be goodest worker, cause everybody will hate you, for that you better than them. and they will be sabotaging to fire you.

Update: btc was 37k when he made this video now it's 97k..... people on yt don't know everything but hey what you gonna do

Finally a new video. I thought u went and died on me 😢

You will NEVER get what you deserve but rather only what someone else thinks you deserve.

This is great advice, but it will never work in Argentina, the final exams are not administrated by your teacher.

Subway analogies lost on me.

Step 8: Wear normal looking smart glasses linked to the internet and AI

One open office visit to my professor saved my butt in Organic Chemistry. I was failing!

The reality is that ivy league undergrad (except princeton) is relatively easy. The real purpose is the alumni network, and the connections you make in college

I’m a straight A student but struggling to get promoted at work

This is true but also reveals why so many institutions lack critical thinking. My approach balances compliance with independence: identify leaders in the organization who value critical thinking and truth, even when it challenges the status quo. These people can become your advocates in navigating and countering authoritarian mindsets.

This was my experience in engineering school, and those seven things you mentioned do carry over into the corporate world: Make an impact in the first 90 days of a new job and have a plan ready of what you propose to do within a month, even two weeks, if possible. Communicate often with your supervisor, even summarizing everything you did the week before and having a plan ready for the new week. Supervisors love that, because they know what you're doing without having to fish it out of you. Learn everything you can about the company because it will make you more enthusiastic to work there, and people will know you care about the business. btw. The most onerous "conformity training" I every heard of was in a class where the students had to memorize hundreds of made-up nonsense words. It was the most annoying class in the university. When they'd ask the professor why the class was in the curriculum, they'd be told: "You don't need to know why, just do it." Lots of things in the office and at home work along those lines.

Pretty much everything, what's wrong with the education system. It's training monkeys.

Rich, thanks for the great video. Like an idiot, I realized the truth of these ideas years after I could have implemented them. Of course, I'll make sure that my kids know and follow through on all of these suggestions. I look forward to watching your video about succeeding in the corporate world.

I graduated summa cum laude only by choosing a straightforward major (pure math), meeting all the deadlines, doing a decent job on the assignments, and marathon studying for the exams 2 days in advance. Maybe that wouldn't work in the ivy league, but grade inflation these days is pretty wild.

Being autistic makes it practically impossible to function in this environment. Nothing makes any sense. Everything is counterintuitive, upside down, and backwards.

I feel this, started to practice most of this my last two years of my bachelor’s. I’m going back for my master’s and am 4.0 so far, and I think I can attribute it to this outline.

You speak for most of us. I have so many things to say but anyways, thank you.

Thank you for your videos Rich. I find quite a few of them very insightful. You really describing corporate life how it is for the majority of people inside.

I went to a military service academy --married a Harvard grad. I found her classmates to be the most self centered, entitled and uninteresting assholes I ever met.

Spoken from a person who has taught college courses, don’t go to office hours just to be seen. It makes you appear to lack confidence if you don’t have anything substantial to talk about or appear high maintenance and wasting professor time. One visit can be enough to be known if you’re asking the right questions.

I don't think I'm very intelligent, but I was often in the top 1 in class. Most of my intelligent classmates are now doctors, lawyers, celebrities, business owners while I'm just doing a remote job with a pretty average salary. I wish I had been more confident than them. Now I have some confidence and I still don't know what it is I really want in life. Growing up in a dysfunctional, unsupportive family did not help at all. But overall, I'm content with life, being patient that I'll be able to make it one day.

What Rich says is true. Many times I want to do the right thing for the customer and for the company. But there are always a few assholes(colleague or manager) that don't co-operate/collaborate in a timely manner. And, when I send them email for a friendly reminder and cc my boss and his boss, my boss comes and tell me I shouldn't do it because it makes me look bad. WTF? What I realize is that your manager will not risk having conflicts with other managers for yours, company's or customer's sake. NEVER. These days I adopt a stoic attitude towards my job. I cannot prevent the shit that happens to me, caused by other assholes. But I can control my reactions and emotions about them, and I don't allow them to fuck up my day. Take a chill pill, respond in a professional and diplomatic manner, do the bare minimum, keep human interaction minimal, do not volunteer and get the F out of office when the bell rings. Never bring your work problems home and vice versa.

This is very true. I’ve experienced depression after reaching big goals.

I have been in my field for 24 years and I am already burnout from the same things that this video is advising against. I always went the extra mile and did more than everyone else in the team, I also took on other peers' tasks when they are struggling or clueless...etc. At the end I hurt my body and mental health to the point that I feel exhausted and drained. No money or promotion is worth the quality time with your family and loved ones. I wish I knew this years ago...

Spot on thank you ❤️🙏☘️🫖🌼

my definition of evil - its not what you do, but how much of that you do. if you poor - stealing not a sin. but if you rich - it is. its like calories in, calories out. to much calories or too little - its bad.

Where I work, the place makes money (is highly profitable) in spite of counter-productive management. The customer experience is not good! Luckily very brainy executives at the corporate top are excellent marketers, promoters, keep people coming in, returning, regardless.

sort of Machiavellian approach. Profits and gains above anything. Many huge industries operates like this

For the software engineering roles it went slighlty differently. Juniors dev jobs were cannibalised as well as product management roles that were taken over by senior devs. Technical people will always be reallocated efficiently in a capital market that rewards efficiency.

Aim for generational passive income that is equal to the salary of a decent job to start with at age 22 for your kids and keeps up with real inflation and then some. There is no need to involve the financial advisor industry. And there is no need to do too much. But only pass the returns so each future generation gets returns, not the principal

The premise of your argument seems to be that success= money. Yet you also state that, above a certain level, it makes no difference to happiness. Perhaps most "super-smart" people know when they are at optimal happiness and use that as their guiding principle.

I’ve listened to a few of your videos… I have some contacts in China in the manufacturing sector…hope to hear from you I sent you an email.

Brilliant people leave when the leadership brilliantly fades. Brilliant people prioritize brilliance over politics. Brilliant people come to realize their brilliance is being misused by others for malicious or nefarious purposes. Brilliant people come to realize their brilliance doesn't mean anything. It's just another gift wasted and stripped for parts from others. I can't tell you the names of famous AI engineers and scientists, but i know the CEOs of each ai company. Where is that brilliance? Brilliant people come to realize they're being exploited just like everyone else. Brilliant people reevaluate their lives and decide a quiet life on my own terms is healthier than the expectations put in place for my brain being the way it is.

The startup means start it and up the tempo to feel the necessity .Iit's never dependant upon others money, yes it's value can be unleashed with quick funds if any vision for the present towards future in place as giants can pick it from scratch and still the innovation can compete them!!!

Okay. I agree with this. But what do I do for 6 hours a day in the office lol? I’m a software engineer and been working for a decade. I’m in a role where it takes me no more than 1 hour a day to do my work. But now I’m struggling to pretend to work for the rest of the remaining hours of the day haha.

Mate you are all over the place. Firstly Einstein was a fraud it was his wife that wrote the physics papers. Secondly William James Sidis had a mind superior to Mozart ? You are just parroting programmed rubbish.

This is life advice I can apply not only to work but also to my personal life.

I never volunteer. I do my work and when I run out of work I find stuff to do to look busy.

I’m definitely not passionate about my job😂 I go in and work and go home. I mind my own business and keep my mouth shut.

Networking feels like looking for people I can use in a building full of people looking for the same. I know it works but something about it just feels wrong

Love your knowledge. Thank you for sharing
