7 Brutal life lessons from Twitter Saga
Truth is always hard to digest. Kindly read this post without any bias . This is my perspective and you don't have to subscribe to it .
1) Job is as riskier as starting a business ,infact more riskier . In your business you have more control than in a job .
2) You are not a hero in your job . Even though you might think you are.
Just imagine Twitter CEO Parag , Even he's replaceable and his job is not secured .
He can get a job anywhere , yes I accept that . But he couldn't control his destiny at Twitter inspite of being a CEO.
3) Today it's Twitter , sooner or later it's coming to your company.
Just imagine you are a soldier in a war and you are marching ahead to your enemies territory and then you see one of the troop members get shot down and you say thank God I'm lucky and it's not me . That's exactly what's happened in Twiiter .
Ppl in Meta , Google ,Amazon etc all are saying ,thank God it's not me . It happens in Twitter and not in my company.
Sorry ,I have bad news . The bullet is coming towards you and you can only dodge it for some time but eventually it will hit you .
4) Warning for all 40+ year olds . Even though you think irreplaceable with your unique outstanding skill set . Your company is already thinking of replacing you with a young IVY league kid with 1/3rd of your salary.
5) Your job income is your company's expense.
so if a company wants to cut costs , just think logically how they cut their expenses .
so it's a zero sum game like a stock market .
If you win on a trade ,there's one losing on the other side . Read this again to get the essence .
There's a direct conflict of interest with your firm.
6) 1$ business income is better than 100$ job income. For you to go from 1$ to 1000 $ business has more chances than to go from 100$ to 1000$ in a job income . Because you control a lot more variables by yourself in your business .
7) Never pick up permanent expenses with temporary income .
Job is a temporary income and if you lose a job and until you find another employer who's willing to pay your salary , you dont have an income .
So the idea of buying a house on loan is one of the most bizarre decisions one can make while having a job .
You might say , Everyone needs a house and instead of paying rent ,I will pay EMI.
What if you lose your job for 6 months . How are u going to pay your EMI.
Another argument - Even you need to pay rent for your house. In case of emergency,I can stay at my parents place, my in-laws place or at my relatives places or at my friend's place for few months without rent .
But in your case , you still have to pay the EMI to the bank .
instead of pouncing in the comments section, read this again. My goal is help you guys and not to challenge you .
Please understand job is a vehicle and it has its own limitations . So be cognizant of it and never complain about the vehicle as it can do only so much .
Time to become an entrepreneur!!!
