The Unspoken Truths For Career Success: Navigating Pay, Promotions, And Power At Work

People are competing for jobs at a rate not seen since World War II. In this book, Tessa White teaches readers, specifically digital native millennials, how to recognize what is holding them back from getting a job and climbing the ladder. People are competing for jobs in a country that hit a high of 14.8% unemployment in April (seasonally adjusted), a rate not seen in the post-World War II era. Of that population during the height of the pandemic, 57% of those who lost their jobs were unable to work because they closed or lost business. With many of these companies and industries collapsing or shutting their doors forever, it necessitated full career pivots for many individuals. It was not just about finding another job; it was about finding a whole new profession. Adding to the shakeup are the quickly shifting workforce demographics as the Millennials and Generation Z (137,000,000 combined) take over the workforce. These digital natives are squarely in their career-building years, with younger members just getting started on a long career journey. And yet despite their numbers, they have unique work challenges, including being the most overlooked generational group for promotion and the slowest to advance. This book acts as a workplace "bible" on how to address the most common work problems that get in the way of a person's success including: Work burnout Lack of work/life balance Pay inequities Difficult work politics A lack of influence or power The lack of clarity around role or performance Lies That Got You Here shows how these common problems often play out and the mistakes individuals often make as they try to navigate them. The book also offers solutions that don't jeopardize a person's job or hurt their career, instead getting people back on a successful and satisfying career track. Where many people look to the company to provide the right setting, the right culture, or the right rules and processes, this book gives practical strategies and methods to change the way one interacts with the workplace altogether and get a different result. It requires the reader to be their own greatest advocate, highlighting a path for any individual to own a better workplace and career experience.
