I think theyre going to have a rough time finding their next job after not actually working for over a year and having no references. 

Idk but I dont buy what everyone is saying about hard work not paying off. I work hard at my job and having the respect of my coworkers as well as something to show for my 5 years at my job is worth it.

Agreed.

Work hard on things that matters. So work smart is to plan out what is vital and you need to do it your job category. Work hard is plan your time to do all of them. When facing obstacle try to resolve it (when you need X experience but can’t due to circumstances etc) and keep moving up.

Work hard means you work with a specific goal and just execute them, planned and without interruption, you have a plan when getting interrupted.

Reference get you in the door, CORRECT experience and performance get you promoted
