Thank you for this advice Chris, even though it's not the first time that I hear it from the Black Swan, since I'm subscribed at your newsletter and I've heard your audiobook more than once. My question is, what do you do when you're in an organization that doesn't value teamwork and meritocracy but brown nosing?
Leave….Unless you like swimming upstream all the time….at least that’s been my experience….. no reason to stay in that kind of an environment, it’ll just bring you down overtime….
Start looking around for another opportunity. 😊 As a side note: where I used to be looking for the highest salary, now I've found a healthy company culture to be my main priority. I'll take a little less pay over a healthier company culture any day now. A company: where they don't guilt trip you into working (unpaid) overtime, where you can pick up your kid from daycare and make up the lost hours later, a manager that is interesting in developing you as a professional and a person, a team that actually behaves as one, etc.
Chris, I used your advice to negotiate a new salary. I got what I was looking for.

The message here of the need to be a selfless team-player seems to contradict all the other messages of how to get one over everyone else.
This message is completely in alignment with tactical empathy which is the core value of this channel
