Well, that's kind of your choice.

Like no one made you work at Goldman.

So if you opt in, deal with it.

And if it becomes too much for you,

go somewhere else, which obviously ultimately you did, whether it was for that reason or more opportunity.

But don't trash them for who they are as long as they're not lying about it, right?

If they're saying, oh, we always take care of everybody and then cutting 20%, then that's a place you might call them out.

It's a double tragedy because they're unhappy, but now you've invested and brought someone in and you have to fill your role again.

It's much better to tell people, here's all the ugly stuff.

And in fact, there is psychology, interestingly, that if you tell people all the ugly stuff and they say, I can handle that, then when it bothers them, they'll be like, well, I chose it.

They'll actually do better.

I think know what you want, know where you're going and work with your manager to get there.

Right.

Make it make a deal, build that relationship and say, look, I want to go here.

How can I help you and you help me get there?

That almost always works.

I think the best place to find me is LinkedIn because it's the sort of professional network.

I write there every day.

And in fact, the original writing is on LinkedIn and it's transported to Twitter.

So I'm glad you love the Twitter, but it's a mirroring of LinkedIn because I serve corporate professionals and that's where they are.
