Don't forget to adhere to the emotional dress code at work today! Negative or non-approved emotions are bad for business and should not be worn while on the clock!

Also remember, under socialism there is no individuality or freedom of expression! It is capitalism and the free market that gives us that!

~Sincerely, Corporate!

The magic salary number is 2080

That's the number you get if you work 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year.

So if a job is paid hourly, you can multiply the pay by 2080 to get your yearly "salary". And if a job just lists a salary, you can divide that by 2080 to get the hourly pay. Here are some example hourly to yearly pays:

$7.25 hourly = $15,080 yearly

$15 hourly = $31,200 yearly

$24 hourly = $50,000 yearly

$36 hourly = $75,000 yearly

$48 hourly = $100,000 yearly

And finally, while at Amazon, Jeff Bezos had a yearly income of $1,681,840 which turns out to be $808 an hour.

Why I decided to go into the office everyday for the first month

In this age of remote work and the culture of only doing what is asked of you. Making small talk and chit chat helps you to stand out and it’s a super easy way to network and build lasting relationships. Sometimes corporate is about who you know rather than what you know and that’s just the name of the game! My current team is mostly remote but by me coming in while my team is remote has been a game changer in terms of networking and building soft skills!

Benefits:

Easy way to get your face out there. Being that everyone mostly works from home in finance I noticed that most management teams are still coming into the office pretty often. By being in the office it helps me to stand out because no one is there. Management and Execs come up and chit chat with me and it helps to put a face to the name.

This is also an easy way to meet new people! Different teams may be required to come in on certain days so by going in everyday you are able to meet the different people and form relationships that can turn into other opportunities but you have to get your face out there.

Tips:

Make use of small talk. Corporate can be very relationship based and small talk provides a way to connect with people. While you don’t not have to be interested in their entire life story it does provide a way to see what you might have in common and build a relationship based off that

Make it a habit to smile and say hi to others on the elevator or in the bathroom. This is a great way to cross paths with people from all walks of the company. You never know you might be on the elevator with the controller and make a lasting impression!

Don’t look at it as “kissing a*s” think of it more in the terms of just being a genuine person. My goal is not to make them like me or for us to be the best of friends, it’s more of leaving a lasting positive impression. I’m not gunning for a certain position or accolade I’m more focused on building my circle and just make a more pleasant work environment. Especially if I’m in a situation one day and need help to get out of it. I will have a support system that can carry me through.

While I know that not everyone has dreams of working the corporate ladder but being a good conversationalist can take you pretty far. Often times people are passed over for promotions just because no one knows them. If you dream of being on the executive team or even just securing a better position being a great conversationalist can open many doors!

What’s a dollar Dollar bill Y’all? Lying? Trying? Dying? For this green? Grass and trees and leaves fall all the same Why play pretend with markets in the clouds What is a dollar, a buck, a doe? Although without I’m dying, trying, lying Asking why I’m not enough Dollar bill, y’all Survive on these slip Slip, slip, slippery slope Pink slip car loan Pink slip house loan –Reminder I’m a man– Can’t afford my home, my car, my life What’s a dollar An hour? How many? I’m spending my day working for so little When the bed I sleep in, in the house I weep in Will never be bought with that labor Who enjoys the fruits of these planted labors? What juice spills from distant lips?

What’s a dollar? Dollar bill Y’all aren’t all vying for more? Trying for more Dying for more? Why must we play pretend–passing ice-coins Wintered the weather about to maintain this illusion This song and dance Won at the tip of a lance Am I to die on the streets where I sleep After a hard days work Gunned down by a passerby whose offense is taken At my presence In my work, when offense is taken At my presence What sense does it make to not be seen Santa’s little helpers Slaving away So some other might gloat and tote Can I sleep on it? Wipe my weeping tears on it? Who will take what I have Leaving what little for tomorrow And tomorrow’s tomorrow Before I again have to borrow So that this cycle of green Of greed Of grasses–greener Perennially blooms; forebodes doom

Where is safe from this dollar? Dollar bill Y’all The grass is always greener The management always meaner The bankers always keener I am saving, graving, paving the way But not to walk upon but on I am the stone–ascended Who can afford to be single? Who can afford just one? In a market that’s rising–water levels Left to drown I can swim–only so long Tread water, dread water, fed water And drown Green stays afloat It is soluble, solution, able and capable Why must I live to work and not Live and work Where did the and’s go? Where did the green go? Barren and wearing no colors of life The suburbs and cities and folks are all white Washed and packaged for resale again No space is owned save the barony lords

What is a dollar? Dollar bill Y’all Learn all day To work all day ‘Til your dying day What is there to say? “He was a busy and dedicated man to his work” Will his work remember him Remembered for his work Who will grieve the cog replaced The seed replanted The crack that’s mended When the old days are waning The sunset soon fading I will keep working for that return of the green The average mean The stacks slapped in my hand To feed and afford what I can Because what use is a dollar That can never call her Back Buy my time Back Take it all Back What use is a dollar? That can’t buy back my time wasted in youth In adulthood so ruth-lessly sought

What is a dollar? Dollar bill Y’all Aren’t struggle to own any bit of your life Your car is on loan and your house and your wife At the slightest inconvenience The drop of margins Swoops the executive C On to elevate thee Claiming your purchases are just temporary They’ve licensed your time Your work and Your sight All that you own And all that you might Work for that dollar Plug and play on their game I’ll keep dreaming, Filling reem in -of paper And dream of my paper My dollar Dollar bill Y’all

Things I learned while navigating the workforce

Hi everyone! I got a couple of questions the other day from @boujeeceo regarding staying focused working from home, getting noticed by management and executives and also how I network! This is from my personal experience and if anyone else has any additional tips please feel free to share! 🤗

Working from home

Desk station

It’s superrr important that you have an area that is functional and comfortable. You need to be able to produce at the same level as you would in the office without sacrificing your comfort level. You can’t really focus if you are sitting at your breakfast bar on a hard bar stool for 8 hours a day staring at a single monitor and I’m talking from experience. Now I have a standard marble desk that’s able to fit 2 monitors, a keyboard with a mouse but I still have room for a small notepad and a standard notebook and will not be cramped.

Staying focused

I keep my self on task by using the pomodoro method. Which is giving my focus to a task for a certain amount of time then follow it with a short break of max 5 minutes where I will just relax my mind maybe change my playlist or tidy my desk or a complete a misc task. Personally, I complete heavy tasks in the morning and I leave easier tasks after lunch that way I can wind down leading home. To keep my focus while doing my work I snack on healthy snacks or a protein shake so I’m not constantly thinking about lunch. Also I HIGHLY suggest planning out your day first thing in the morning so you have a sense of what your day looks like and whether or not you can complete what you need to complete. Strive to focus on 3 major tasks a day in order to not overwhelm yourself.

Getting noticed by Executives

Apply for an Internship

If you are in college apply for internships!! Today I was able to chat with a VP and she mentioned that she’s involved in the summer internship program and you would be surprised but they actually remember faces and their interactions with the interns. They also genuinely love being involved in those programs.

Lend help wherever you can

Management and Executives are looking for leaders and an effective leader is always willing to lend a helping hand. You have to show them that you are a team player because they have to be able to count on you. Always being willing to help shows them you are willing to go the extra mile but please stay within reason. Do not sacrifice your physical and mental health for a promotion, if you become ill you’re no good to anybody including yourself so be very mindful on how much you take on.

Get involved

I’m naturally quiet but thankfully my employer has mentorship programs, newsletter teams and things of that nature. I joined my departments newsletter and our Editor and chief is a Director and there were several Manager and Leads. I find that the inner organizations within a firm are run by the Executives who are doing this on personal time PLUS you have a common interest that sparks conversations.

Additional tips

Stay curious

Ask questions - make use of the higher ups office hours if they have any.

The right attitude - stay positive and be a go getter they eat that stuff up

Take pride in your work - this speaks on your work ethic

If you have weekly team meetings suggest an ice breaker to your manager this shows them you care about the team on a more personal level - I suggested we all bring HS prom pictures and that went GREAT!

How I network

Build Relationships

Since I work at an Investment Firm the company pushes connecting and building relationships. So I always make it a point say bye to my manager and we kind of bond over binge watching shows so we usually chat it up in my way out the door. I suggest trying to get to know your management teams because effective managers want to get to know you and most likely have an open door policy. But also get to know your colleagues and try to connect with common interests.

For instance right now I have a team mate who’s from Jersey so we bond because we both are from the NY/NJ area and I have another team member is into manifesting so we bond over things of that nature. I find that even my peers could have connections with important people as well and if they have kids I make it a point to ask about them. Personally, I try to remember small things about their kids because it shows you are taking a genuine interest in their lives and that’s just the type of person I am so it comes naturally to me. This establishes a personal connection and makes me feel confident enough to talk about work things. (But beware of people with ill intentions, I learned to spot them a mile away)

Get Involved!!

I’m going to sound like a broken record but if you are already at an establish company that has “extracurriculars” such as volunteering opportunities, newsletter teams and things of that nature it takes some of the edge off of networking because again we already have a common interest and the executives have these activities and clubs in place because they want you to be involved. I like to volunteer and I’m looking into applying for mentorship programs. Not only will this help you meet new people but it gets you in the face of key people at your company. But also branch out and join club outside of work for instance, if you are black and an accountant become a member of NABA (National Association for Black Accountants). They hold conferences every year with reputable companies and it’s for us!!! I know numerous people who have gotten internships at Big 4 accounting firms and other top companies. Go meet people and just put yourself out there because closed mouths don’t get fed 🤷🏾‍♀️

I hope this helps! If anyone else has any questions let me know! I’m always happy to help and share my thoughts!
