Don't let them fool you

Don't let them fool you… or que no te cuenten cuentos.

What they pay you is what they love you.

Period.

Unless it’s a company going broke and you can smell it with months of distance, there is always margin for more.

And it’s not greed.

Not necessarily.

But with high margin, a company, their owners and managers live much better.

It’s the company policy… that’s how much they love you.

Then, I have to increase the salary to other workers… this is how much they love you.

Others will be upset... this is how much they love you.

You’re already at the top (middle, in good position with regards to) of the market… this is how much they love you.

A pyrrhic, laughable, bonus after having burned your *ss working for them… this is how much they love you.

We’ll discuss it in the next review… this is how much they love you.

A long trip in the middle row of the back of the plane next to the toilet in tourist… this is how much they love you.

Of course they know.

They’re totally aware that some are not stupid.

They give millions every year to consultants to create good tricks to sweeten it.

This is why they give you a pat on the back from time to time.

Or an employee of the month.

Or a “day off” with your laptop and phone.

Or a “thank you”, like a Christmas present, once a year.

And sometimes, this is making you feel OK, even good.

Months pass by, then years.

And those pats on the back, those moments of adrenaline that made you feel good, are acting like arsenic.

Given to you in small doses.

Killing you very slowly.

Killing your ambitions.

Killing your dreams.

Killing your confidence.

Killing your independence.

Killing your freedom.

And then, you’ll arrive to your fifties or early sixties in fear.

With no self-esteem.

Leaking the shoes of your bosses or becoming unnoticed to prevent upsetting anyone.

Invisible.

Totally dependent on your company’s will or the sh*ty government pension.

This may sound like Chinese to you… or maybe not.

Maybe you see a path.

Maybe blur yet.

Maybe clearer.

I always had a terrible fear of being caught, being trapped, being brain washed and end like an amoeba.

This is why I started as soon as possible.

I made many mistakes.

I didn’t have any help.

Just a will to not end killed in life.

If you are worried about that path, I can give you a hand.

It’s not a course.

It’s a 1 to 1 to make a plan for you, and be next to you when you're starting your journey.

To regain confidence, independence, options and freedom.
