Workplace Advice for 2025:

1. Avoid gossip at work. Soon you’ll be old and irritated by the personal growth of those against whom you used to spread falsehood.

2. Always be a professional. They’ll blackmail you; their evil schemes shall include hijacking your achievements; stay professional. Document everything and remain civil.

3. Don’t retaliate. Don’t play their toxic games. You’re not as evil as they are. 

4. Integrity is everything. Your professional reputation shall never betray you.

5. Have a mentor; someone with more exposure and maturity. Someone who’s accomplished and grounded and needs no societal validation to feel secure in life.

6. Accomplish tasks and document everything. What you do, NOT what you say, shall speak for itself over time.

7. Use official channels of communication when dealing with toxic co-workers; even when they act friendly, they’re not your friends.

8. Build yourself and your networks outside of the toxic workplace. Prepare to leave any time.

9. Build your value in silence. Let them talk. Your actions should explicitly communicate your boundaries.

10. Avoid burnout. Go for leave. Work out. Take health breaks
