3 harsh truths about the workplace

In this episode, Ankur Warikoo sheds light on three harsh truths about the workplace that disproportionately affect hardworking and good-natured employees.

First, genuinely good people are often overlooked or dismissed as being too nice or naive, which can lead to them finishing last in a competitive environment.

Second, hardworking individuals tend to receive more work than their less diligent counterparts, a phenomenon explained by Warikoo through personal experiences highlighting the higher price good people pay for their diligence.

Lastly, he discusses how good employees often express their dissatisfaction in subtle ways that go unnoticed until it is too late, leading to abrupt departures from the organisation.
