What follows is the lessons I have picked up along the way while working for multinational corporations during the last 10 years. Most of these are a complete opposite of what we are taught during our formative years, but believe me each one of them fits 100%. If I weren’t the “dead brain” I’ve become lately, I’d write down the reason for believing the way I do.

• Do not take initiatives
• If you have an active brain, kill it!
• Walk the line, don’t try jumping to reach the destination faster
• Don’t react, but respond
• Write as short an e-mails as possible
• Screw quality, no one gives a damn about ti anyways
• Reach office by 9 AM and leave by 7PM
• Do not try to minimize the iterations
• Don’t read emails, you just might get encouraged to act on them
• Never ever take ownership for anything
• A janitor is a janitor, what if he happens to carry a laptop
• If you know a better way of doing things, shove it up your backside and dance, but don’t let it out else it will be dispatched to outer space
• The cafetaria is a nice place to spend the afternoons in
• Ignore the message and kill the messenger
