On: Ask HN: What do you wish you knew when you were 25?

loyalty to a corporation or even an smaller LP doesn't count for anything. always ruthlessly cultivate your career, growth & salary potential. And always be looking for a better environment. The "organization" will take everything from you it can to your personal & health detriment.

In a similar vein, HR is not your friend. Never trust what they say. Especially when they have you sign things.

This is extremely important to know for many reasons. For emphasis... HR is not your friend! Their loyalty is to the company, and that is all.

Thanks! I'm making a list of things to be aware of so that those concerned may avoid missing out. Not taking anything to the word for sure.

I intellectually new this when I was 12. I kinesthetically new it when I was 36. Upvoted
