True. Your boss is also not your friend, you are there to offer a skill/serves for pay, do so and move on no stupid loyalty. Though there will be one or two persons who will make great friends at work, but if it plays out that way, fine! don't look for it.

Keep improving your skills and you don’t have to stay forever in one organisation, you become a wallpaper and your value will diminish, and it doesn't mean u will not be kicked out tomorrow.

Let u growth be constant, and believe you can do what you set out to, believe in urself and the time is now.

Believing in oneself can't be over-emphasized.

OboOlora:
Makes sense!

Let me add mine:

Don’t always think you will be favored cos u kiss ur bosses’ asses!

Key point to note. Speaking from an indirect experience.

Very well written. I made the mistake on point #2 while working for a multinational petroleum service company. I bailed my colleagues out financially whenever a genuine need arose and my help was sought. The very week I left, the story became different. From then, I place colleagues as JUST colleagues, no personal closeness allowed.

I have a friend who had a similar experience where he worked. Well loved - even by the company's CEO. Something happened which was more around promises not kept my the org. He decided to express his displeasure about this and before you know it he was sent packing. He was shocked that just a few of his colleagues thought it wise to reach out to him to confirm what exactly happened.
