>Also, know that you don't owe your company jack shit. They are not, and will not be loyal to you, ever. Ever. They will cut you at first necessity. Be prepared to do the same at any time. Boss will blame manager, manager will blame you, people will get fired, unjustly or not. Probably unjustly. Bosses never fire themselves, ever. They will always place blame down the line. Always. Bank on it.

This is true. Learn it now. It took me far too long in my career because I bought into the work hard and you will be noticed for far too long.

Another hard learned lesson: HR is NOT your friend. If you believe their training you may think 'I have a problem at work, let me get HR to help' WRONG what you will have is TWO problems and an annoyed string of management.
