Maybe going to restroom and getting some coffee or some soda. If I am lucky, I can get some tea.

I think each workplace should provide their employees with free coffee! It's great for morale! If you don't have to bring coffee to work, you are more productive, more punctual, and have generally better opinion of the workplace.

I had a coworker who told us that if we liked how we dressed, then we'd perform better at work. She was kind of joking, but it stuck with me.

I wish I had learned the skill of effective networking earlier in my career. For a long time, I focused mainly on building technical knowledge and doing the work, but I’ve realized that strong professional relationships open doors to opportunities, mentorship, and growth that aren’t always accessible through skill alone. Building those connections earlier would have accelerated my learning and career development.

Labeler at Auveco

I was running my own plumbing company. And one of the restaurants had filed bankruptcy. In a bankruptcy, the amount that they pay is incremental and applied with a less than dollar value. Generally companies will greatly discount a bankruptcy receipt. However, I went to speak to the owner of the establishment, and I was directed to stand just outside of his office because he was on the phone. That was a mistake he’ll never repeat. On the phone he told the person, “Yeah some east Podunk plumber did some work for us, and they don’t know we are under bankruptcy, and I’m getting ready to stick it to him.” He hung up the phone and motioned me in. I walked in, shook his hand and I sat down in front of his desk and I said, “this won’t take long” He said, “Oh really, great, how can I help you, I said well, perhaps I should introduce myself. The look on his face when I told him was priceless! I said something to the effect of, “Hello, my name is Cheri, and I am the wife of the East Podunk plumber you hired. And I have a lovely recording of you on the phone telling your associate how you were gonna stick it to us. So I’m gonna give you a get out of jail card. And I hope you noticed that I didn’t say free! So, I’ll be picking up a check, and I’ll give you a discount of two cents on the dollar. Because that’s the kind of generous east podunk business owner I am!” So he took out his checkbook and wrote out a check, without any argument. And I took it directly to his bank and cashed it. Cashed it before he had a chance to cancel it. So that $8000 job, the first job we took as a plumbing company, I learned a very powerful lesson. Never back down! Never give up! And never let anyone disparage your company name, Ever!

Experienced Manager and have worked with clients in all income classes.

It was a promotion in title only. It was 45 minutes away and no increase in salary with a supervisor who was known for making people work extra hours with no O.T. & then get rid of them.

Because the promotion that was offered was a lie for you to work there but to only be given odd hour and only on call if there was any openings to work
