"Delivering your work is important but the most critical thing is networking. Manage expectations. Of your customers and stakeholders as well as your manager. You don't want one bad negative comment coming back from anyone. So network. Network. Network. Get your brand or reputation distributed very wide. You could be a top performer with excellent delivery and still get let go due to other issues. An INTEL person who asskisses alone has a better chance at surviving layoffs then someone who only delivers."
An INTEL person who asskisses alone has a better chance at surviving layoffs then someone who only delivers. Absolute truthful statement.
Nevertheless, lot of these ass kissers now must do the work instead the top performers with excellent delivery, ISPed due to different political and policies views, INTEL Inside. Good Luck with that!
