My third day on the job
|
When I was sent to the “world”, I had no “puñet€ra” idea. Not much internet. Navigating with your phone was like hoping to get into the love cam in a Cold Play concert. A lottery. That if you won it… it’d not bring nothing good. ​ Travelling was hard. Complex. No Teams. No nothing. ​ But there I was. In a first meeting, in front of people that doubled my age. To discuss about business, financing… and likely tax evasion. ​ It was my third day on the job. And my third day in PPPs. ​ I would have loved to have someone I could call. Someone I was sure I could learn something from. ​ I didn’t know what a mentor was. But that’s what I needed… I guess. ​ Look. Mentors won’t make you rich. They won’t do your job. They won’t have all the answers. But still… ​ They’ll save you years to reach where you want to be. ​ That day, during that meeting, I wished I had something like this. ​More than just PPPs​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

A couple of weeks ago, someone that I know commented this: “Vicente, I’m sick to death of my job… every Monday I feel like jumping out the window. And what it’s worse… now they want to reduce staff and I don’t know what to do” She wasn’t exaggerating. And from what I understood, it wasn’t the first time she’d said — or thought — something like that. And surely not the last. Built-up exhaustion. Unpaid overtime. A boss who confuses “leading” with being a pain in the ass. And a salary that...
I once read that in one TV show a liberal made a proposal to a communist. “Let’s split the world in two. You keep whatever you want, but let’s separate. You do what you have to do, and we’ll do what we have to do. Then, after ten years, let’s see where each of us stands.” Speechless. Wonderful, isn’t it? Because of these TV shows, it’s been more than 15 years that I don’t have a TV at home. Because, there’s something even more wonderful. And that the “liberal” or the “communist” did not see....
I don’t know if you have ever tried to contact Meta’s customer center. Yes… Mark and his guys at Facebook and Co. I have done it… Several times. I run other businesses… and I had no choice. Since the middle ages and their torture chambers, you can’t get a better experience. Not even chat GPT knows the number to call, the mail to write them… or the form. Once that you locate it – and good luck with this – wait and see the level of response. Of course, you tried first to solve your issue...
