We have two expressions here: "The world turns around"; it means whatever you
|
||
|
do, sometime in the future, you'll face the consequences of it. Another
|
||
|
expression is "The world of _something_ is an egg"; because the world turns
|
||
|
around, if the world is an egg, you'll face the consequences sooner than you
|
||
|
think.

What do I meant with those two expressions?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Well, first thing, if you do a bad job, if you don't care about your
|
||
|
co-workers, if you're not a team player, if you keep bad mouthing someone...
|
||
|
You'll find someone that heard about the things you do and may damage your
|
||
|
reputation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
So be nice and a team player.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Just to be clear: Yes, I did my fair share of not being a team player and bad
|
||
|
mouthing people[^1] and I'm pretty sure there are companies around that would
|
||
|
never hire me 'cause someone inside heard that I bad mouth someone or didn't
|
||
|
do as a team player in some other place. I try to avoid doing it so as much as
|
||
|
I can but, hey, I'm just human.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[^1]: I still call actions of previous colleagues around even to this day. If
|
||
|
I'm bad mouthing or just telling what happened is up to whoever is listening
|
||
|
to me.
