Things that have happened this year and people that I hear and have heard talking, has again gotten my mind wondering where people get some of their thoughts from.
For instance, is there ANY company that OWES you a job? I can't think of one. But on the other hand YOU owe your company your best work . . . whether you like the job or not.
Unless you own the company, you're expendable. When it comes to bad economies or budget cuts, for whatever reason, you may be dispensable. Lets face it, these are just the facts of life.
In his book, It's Called Work for a Reason, Larry Winget explains that, "Many people have become so dependent on their company, on society, and on others that they think they are owed a living. They think the company is there to serve them instead of the truth, which is that they are there to serve the company".
Whether you're a manager, supervisor, or the guy that started in the mailroom yesterday, don't get caught up in these "entitlement" thoughts. So what can you do? Do your best, stand out, and take personal responsibility. These are the things that are going to make you a success, whether it's at your current job or your next.
You're not owed a job . . . so make your leaders WANT to keep you.
