You are a tool to a company and that is all. Too many people think they are a real
valuable tool and they are nothing more than a half inch box wrench, that can be
replaced at any hardware store. The majority of workers are to lazy to become a socket set
or toolbox increasing their value to the company.
No one can crap on you but you this is I am the poor victim.
Educate yourself and become more valuable to the company remembering you are still just a
set of tools.
From a guy that started with two zeros behind his starting salary to having five behind it when I left.
Could have went higher became satisfied with my station that is on me and no one else.
The company didn't hold me back I did.
That's all good and dandy, but in my profession, I'm not moving up to the five 0's range unless I have specific initials behind my name-which at this point in life is not feasible. Not everyone has the opportunity for that type of job growth. You were very fortunate to have the job you had at the company you had, and to obviously have the intelligence that you possess. Not everyone is as gifted IQ-wise and will top out as a broom pusher. It's the way the chips fall. Good for you that you were able to soar to the level that you did, not all of us are that lucky. We're not lazy, we're just in different industries.
