I’ll go first: “You have to have children when you’re young,” told to me when I was in my late 20s, with no desire to ever have kids, and no means to support them, by someone divorced multiple times with at least one adult child who does not speak to them.

Also: Responding to “How do I deal with this problem?” questions with “Oh, don’t worry about it, it’s enough that you’re even thinking about it!”

    Never saying “That is not my job” is solid advice IF your managers recognize hard work and reward it with promotions or additional compensation. I was able to move ahead of some of my peers by putting my hand up and being willing to take in challenges. If your managers suck, then don’t bother unless it’s for some personal growth.
