My first manager hired me, believed in me, and even helped me get promoted. Then I got an offer at IBM. The day I handed in my notice… he stopped talking to me. For two weeks, it was complete silence as I didn’t exist. At the time, I thought I’d done something wrong. Years later, after becoming a manager myself, I realized it wasn’t personal. It was business. That experience taught me one of the biggest career lessons of my life: ➡️ Be loyal to people. ❌ Don’t be loyal at the expense of your own career. Your manager has goals. Your company has goals. You need to have goals too.
