HOW IMPORTANT ARE YOU?

Are you the wheel for this mechanism?

One always claim that he/she is an important entity at their working place. Well, most of us (employee) feels that way about ourselves. Do you know your value? Or are you even valued by your employer? Do you even know what I'm trying to drive here? No? Read on.

I'm sure you've heard the saying: We won't be appreciated until we're gone. It's true, to some. Check it out yourself. How? Try take a long leave (1-2 weeks in a row) or be on MC for quite a long period (with doctor's advice of course) and see how your employer reacts? Especially during a bloody peak period of work that really requires you! Oh, and I just love that smell of victory, but be careful not to let arrogance get over you because that's not good.

I somehow always feel that I'm undervalued by my employer. Not to boast but I believe I have revolutionized (are there such word?) lots of things (which I really think so) for my function but I don't think all my efforts were appreciated. Reason being: Check my payslip and you'll understand. But you might ask: Why the hell are you still there? I'll go: Get me a job (I like) with better pay and I'm gone.

Personally, I think our employer need to be taught some lesson on "appreciation" once in a while. It's nothing, just to test the water. However, it is not advisable to be "executed" frequently and don't tell me I did not remind you.
