Modern SQE workplace guide (#3)

How does it make you feel when a software on your laptop doesn't work correctly? Taking responsibility for what happens is a skill much bigger than anyone will ever give you credit for. Accountability and personal responsibility matter.

When you center your life around your worker voice and equity, I promise you, that the sense of wonder you experience every week will never end. Prepare mentally that informal influence is not often formally recognized.

Do things outside your job title

Take initiative to matter at work with dignity and through meaning. You may spend a lot longer thinking about things than most people. Pace your delivery. Your default description of almost every problem will be too threatening and overwhelming.

Take each opportunity for growth by learning and through accomplishment. When you go beyond your job description, that’s where the real career rowth happens.?

Go beyond your job title to discover hidden opportunities. Do your deepest thinking with co-conspirators and not the people you are trying to influence. Make sure to celebrate your wins.

Seek protection from harm feeling safe and secure in your environment. Take care of yourself, as your brain is working overtime all the time. Practice radical recovery.?

Seek connection to community by offering unconditional social support and feelings of belonging. When you go deep, and then simplify you must keep in mind that you don’t need to show all of your work.

Seek work-life harmony through your autonomous brain-body system and show flexibility when it is mutually interesting for you, your peers and the company.

Too many people stick religiously to their job description. That’s how you become a computer-says-no employee.
