The Most Interesting Thing You Learned in Work/Business

[leelayce]

whatever. . . .


bloody man o pamulat sa ating buhay.

[KGB]

Most interesting? How much our company earns and how much it pays it's people. :fume:

[gumacanian]

Trust no one.

[watland]

Bottomline, business ang lahat.
Even though some may appear like "family" to you...
Business is about money, and people are treated in accounting journals as overhead expenses vis-a-vis their individual productivities.

So, don't feel too attached to the corporate mission, first and foremost, think of yourself and what makes you happy.

[Krakista]

Business is all about creating and keeping customers.

[wends]

Customer first :)

Some things I learned:

1) Many people pay a lot of money just for the sake of saying they paid a lot of money;
2) The really rich don't need to show it, and often don't;
3) The ones who do, often aren't really rich;
4) It's not how much you spend, it's how much you save;
5) There's a sucker born every minute, and most of them grow up to be government regulators.

I'll post some more as they come to me. :)

Definitely agree with no. 4. *okay* *okay* *okay*

It doesn't matter whether you earn $6k dollars or P20k pesos a month, what matters is what you could set aside every payday. I saw your previous post in a different thread regarding saving a million pesos. Good thread!!!!!!!!!

And to answer the post,

DON'T BURN YOUR BRIDGES IN THE CORPORATE WORLD. What comes around, will come around.

Be happy with your job, the satisfaction in the paycheck will always follow........

Cheers :cheers:

You can't climb the corporate ladder on your own. You better have lots and lots of connections to get there!

That's why I'm thinking of building my own corporate ladder so that I'll be the one at the top! :D

[rains_delight]

The most important think I learned in business is ACCOUNTANTS ARE JUST RECORDERS OF TRANSACTIONS. WE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BATTLE.

The financial statements have several limitations such as:

1. The fair market value of the property and equipments are not reflected in books of accounts.

2. There are some expenses that are based on assumptions, such as depreciation, amortization, doubttful accounts expenses, etc.

3. The Net Realizable of accounts receivable is not that actually realizable.

Although it quantifies the operations and decisions of the management but still the basis of recording is past transactions. But we can still use these reports for the analysis, but we should not only rely on.

[Bogshot]

To make it, it's not really what you know, its who you know...

[zimdude]

to add to "connections" and "who you know and not what," let me add that you can get to know more people that will help you in your work. you just need to be open-minded and interested!

[lupuS]

People will do what you inspect, not what you expect.

It is easier to manage stupidly than to manage stupidity.

If you manage stupidly, you become one of the stupid that needs to be managed by your superiors, unless you own the company... in which case your business will suffer!

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

[michelle reyes]

...Or perhaps given a choice of having the world retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity or having my bicuspids extracted sans Novocaine, I, not being one of the many unprincipled clods of this earth, would embrace the pliers, purchase some Polident Partials, and call it a day ...

[teri1977]

1) work professionally
2) business is business
3) trust no one
4) put everything in black and white
5) think and act one step higher
6) learn to draw the line bet. your personal & professional life
7) motivate other people
8) work as a team but act independently
9) be attentive to details
10) respect and patience are essential

Love your work first before you love what you earn.

Indeed!

[Adroth]

Even an idiotic, hoplessly narrow minded, and incompetent boss has his uses.

My brush with one such boss actually made me more tolerant of job pressures.

It also helps to view oneself as an independent company. That way, the quality of one's work does not become succeptible to the fortunes of a company, or the nature of one's boss.

This way, you treat your name as a brand -- whose reputation must be protected.

[whipcheck]

Here's my contribution:

You are only as good as your last job!;)

[whipcheck]

Wait here's another one:

Be careful on whose toes you stepped on your way up.
They may be connected to the *** of the people
that you may have to kiss on your way down:D


Bear this in mind young guy's out there;)

The Corporate World:

Look Ma, it's a jungle out there.

[orcom_dude]

Hi leelayce!!! :wave:

1. How much you love your job matters more than the salary you're getting (well...most of the time).
2. You have to do the dirty work from time to time kahit sino ka pa.

[leelayce]

Thank you for your insights!

Adroth and whipcheck *okay*

Keep your integrity above all else... never deal with people or projects that compromise your morals.

[punch]

be kind to those people you meet on your way up, for they might be the same people you'll meet on your way down...

i've learned how to be civil enough to make even those people that i hate most believe that i like them,

i've learned that office politics can either make you powerful or destroy you, right before your eyes.

i've learned that the people who are in the lowest position are those who usually needs most of the management attentions, considiration and compassion but its always the opposite that most management people practice.

ive learned that i should never mix my personal life with that of my life at work.

"survival of the fittest" is the name of the game

[Saikee]

no matter how "high up" you are in the ladder, there's ALWAYS a sure way to fall straight down...

[eli]

Money isn't everything....

You should consider happiness and enjoyment at work. Those things can't be bought by a high-salary.
