Work Life Survival (intro) - Wake Up Call Series
"Working life is not a straight line, but it is full of junctions and lessons we never expected....
This series is Wake Up Call - a true story, a real lesson I want to tell you. "
👩🏻🎓 22-year-old, I, Gen Y, plunged into the working world under the leadership of Gen Baby Boomer and Gen X executives who grew up with the organization and successfully rose to the top position. At that time, I looked at the same path as a "lifestyle" to follow.
But my real path is instead full of crossroads and countless tests...
📌, when my crew came to discuss wanting to quit, I always asked:
"Are you sure you've fully learned from here?"
Because I can quit... but if it's too often, it will erode the work path more than I thought.
And as Manager, I have to run it. Otherwise, I'm not worthy of the position - my underlings don't have to worry about me.
If I believed the saying, "Lawfirm's too hard, you can't..." I would never stand here today.
On the other hand, when someone asks, "Do you want to go back to the same place?" My answer is:
"If you go for a few months and can't stay - don't go back!
Unless you're back as a real grown-up or the organization invites back in a higher position. "
🌍 I've been through the world for 20 years and I've been walking for years... nothing is certain anymore, even big companies are laying off 45-year-old employees in an economy that isn't easy to find.
This picture is no different from the day I was in the Subprime / Hamburger Crisis era - business stops accepting people; new ends, long unemployed.
Just a day before flying back to Thailand, the Washington Post reported on the front page that a shopping mall in Bangkok was on fire, flooding the city...
I took the plane back with the fact that the world was too volatile to predict.
💡 And this is where the Wake Up Call Series came from.
Next time, I'm gonna invite everyone to hear...
How to "Work Life Survival" and really survive - amphibious in an age where stability does not exist.
