10 things you should know about corporate so you don't get fired:

1. Show up early — being seen matters more than what you actually produce. 2. Keep endless to-do lists because the workload is designed to outgrow you. 3. Stay neutral with everyone — the wrong opinion can stall your career. 4. Document issues immediately, not to solve them, but to protect yourself. 5. Socialise strategically — enough to be visible, never enough to be honest. 6. Look organised at all times, even when expectations are unrealistic. 7. Learn from seniors, not just the role — learn the rules they don’t explain. 8. Speak carefully. Silence is often the safest option. 9. Keep your personal life private once it interferes with output. 10. Track your achievements so you can defend your value later. If this feels familiar or exhausting, you’re not imagining it. Some roles require constant self-preservation. Others give you space to grow. If you’re questioning where you’re at, that’s information.
