Bad Advice - plops - Oct 6, 2025
Have you ever gotten bad advice that actually ended up helping you out or it actually worked?
Years ago I was working with this guy on the edge of retirement. He would tell me there's no point in going so hard at work, we aren't saving/changing lives and we all get a 3%-4% raise if you keep your head above water.
I brushed it off as a lazy old man. I now live by that philosophy. Why break my back at work when I can take it easier and still reap the same rewards and focus energy on things I care about.
^ That's probably horrible advice for professionals and I would never hire a person like that. lol

Business is brutal, and sometimes you have to fuck people over to be successful.
There's your bad advice, that may positively affect you in the short term.
