Appreciation post: the night shift janitor at my old office gave me better career advice than my manager
I got passed over for a lead spot at a logistics office in Garland back in 2022. My manager gave me the usual speech about paying my dues and being a team player. The janitor, Luis, was emptying trash near my desk at 9pm and asked why I was still there. I told him and he said "they already know what you do, so stop doing extra for free and start doing it where people can see it." I started logging my wins in a shared doc and got the next opening. Has anyone else gotten real advice from someone who wasn't supposed to be part of the conversation?

Did Luis know you were gunning for lead, or was that just a lucky read?
