    Which are the essential lessons corporate world taught you?

    Every so often we learn the biggest and most essential lessons of life the hard way. In the corporate world, It doesn’t matter how fine you do your work, things don't all the time work out the manner you want them to. Can you guys tell me which are the lessons you have learned from the corporate world?
    You're not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Don't stress. Master the day. Make this a daily reminder.

    I think I'm eligible to answer this question as I've worked in two International big MNC's.

    Pro's

    1. Every 3 months once compulsory team outing
    2. One annual year party at a top hotel in the city
    3. Insurance coverage to you and your parents
    4. Free cab facilities
    5. Paid holidays, Annual leave bonuses, maternity leaves
    6. Easy loan, credit card facility
    7. Work from Home
    8. No LOP for late check-in's or no check-in's
    9. Food coupons
    10. On-sight facilities (if requires)

    Con's

    1. No designated time (I have worked 23 hours at straight)
    2. Have to please higher officials
    3. Had to finish other people work (if requires)
    4. Word of mouth strictly matters
    5. Should maintain good contact with internal departments
    6. Had to work on national holidays (if requires)
    7. Something you muttered in 2000 might/will backfire you in 2020
    8 Everyone is selfish. You've no friends but more of acquaintances or colleagues
    9. Everyone is replaceable
    10. You might have to work according to your client's time zone

    P.S Both the companies I've worked helped me in my carrier and I've enjoyed working there.

    That's true. Learn from your experiences and never repeat the same mistake thrice.

    Couldn't agree more, If we do the same mistakes, again and again, We can't call it as a mistake because we are doing it knowingly so we can say we become habitual to it.

    Making mistakes means that we are doing something new so there is nothing to regret about mistakes, But when we are committing the same mistakes, again and again, that means we didn't learn from our mistakes or we are neglecting them. This attitude should be changed. One more thing never say " I'm trying" say " I'm doing" If you say I'm trying unknowingly you are giving yourself excuses for not accomplishing it.
