Some of the biggest lessons learned in the corporate world-
1. Use your brain at work and emotions at home

2. Nobody is your friend at the workplace. Trust me!

3. If you can solve every problem of the management, they will always be by your side.

4. Never write/reply to any mail when you’re frustrated.

5. Your boss could be friendly, but at the end of the day, he is not your friend. Respect boundaries.

6. The relationship between Employer and employee is solely based on revenue.

7. Don't fear failure and rejection.

8. Follow up is the key to everything.

9. You'll meet some amazing people; learn from them.

10. Feed your subordinates with your maximum knowledge, encourage them, cheer them and eventually when they make breakthroughs, celebrate with them. The best thing you can give to a person is your knowledge.

11. Focus on developing and using your strengths.

12. Work until the work is done.

13. Learn how to change the situation, not the person.

14. Effective communication, negotiation and leadership skills are a must to learn as early in your life as possible.

15. You’ll find a colleague in every office who keeps bitching about everyone. Find that him/her at the earliest and stay a mile away

16. People are nice to you only when you are influential or they need you. Once the need or influence changes, so does their behavior.

17. Shit travels up. Never complain about your superiors to peers or staff.

18. In any company, everybody is a salesperson. If you are not selling anything, you are an expense.

19. Everyone is replaceable and you will eventually be replaced.

20. When you are the star performer, most mistakes are forgiven.

21. Stay out of comparisons, you are unique.

22. Human Resources is there to protect the company, not you.

23. You are never the smartest one in the room.

These are not common in schools. That's why the work environment in schools, is the best to work in.

17. Shit travels up. Never complain about your superiors to peers or staff.you

No 17 got me humiliated, I did Amebo about our boss with a junior colleague and he went behind me to tell our boss and it affected our working relationship as everything I did was no longer pleasing to him.

Then one day he called me aside and lambasted me thoroughly, that his anger was not about the things I said about him but the fact that I a middle level management staff stooped so low to gossip with a junior staff, he narrated everything I shared with that idiot.

I felt very bad and apologised and learnt a bitter lesson and not too long after I got fired at the next downsizing carried out by management

It's number 2 and 17 for me. Just do your job quietly and get out of there. SOME colleagues are chameleons.
