Take every opportunity you can to learn and grow but don't over exert yourself. Everything you learn can be used at a different company. Never know where your learned knowledge can take you.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you don't know something, it's better to ask and do it right the first time than fuck it up and have to waste more time. If they get mad for you asking, bail. People who can't accept questions are people who can't lead.

Do your job to the best of your abilities but don't be loyal as they won't be loyal to you when things are looking down.

If they offer any sort of benefits; PTO, College Funding, Health Care, etc; take advantage of everything that makes sense to you. Don't let ANYONE make you feel guilty for using it. The company is going to use you. Use them right back.

Leave work shit at work and home shit at home, whenever possible. Be chummy with your coworkers but don't mistake them for friends. "We're like a family" is bullshit. The company will throw you to the curb if needed.

The business sees you as a replaceable cog in their machine. They’re paying you to do the job now, but they could replace you with someone else and it’s all the same to them.

So to you, the business is a replaceable source of income. It’s ok to like your job, and it’s ok to like your coworkers, but if at some point you choose to move on, you just do it and no hard feelings. Don’t give into any guilt trips or gaslighting you to want to stay: this is a business arrangement, and as soon as you leave they’ll just hire someone else to replace you.

Outside of that, just show up and leave on time and don’t go out of your way to piss people off, and you should do fine.

IF your goal is just to keep your head down and keep a paycheck, your goal is to 1) keep up the appearance of business and 2) be easy to manage. As long as none of you behavior reaches your direct report, you're golden. Try to find someone more experienced with you to show you the ropes and never ask your manager for clarification or support except when absolutely necessary. Instead, rely on your coworkers to train you and try to find some way to make things equitable with them.

Bonus points if you can find what metrics your manager is measured on and work a little to butter their bread. Eventually, you will figure out which areas you can do the bare minimum in and spend the least total amount of energy for the most job security and likelihood of a raise. Do not work yourself to the bone and do not work beyond paid or contract hours.

For instance, I worked in a chain coffee store and found out my manager did not like having to delegate/think about certain cleaning tasks so I would do those really quick before fucking off in the back and that lowered my overall amount of responsibility while also boosting me in my bosses eyes. Of course, if we were really busy I would pull my weight fairly and not throw my coworkers under the bus.
