WORKED FOR ME FOR OVER FORTY YEARS!“MAKE YOURSELF VALUABLE, show up to work early, and do YOUR job.”
Worked for me.
1. Early is on time. On time is lateMy father (a general contractor of commercial buildings, etc.) taught me many, many things while I was growing up at home about how to get and keep a job. Not just in the construction business, but any business. Basically the three most important things to do to get and keep a job:
1. Show up early
2. Keep your mouth shut
3. Do what you're told
Very simple!
I WAS BORN A SMART-ASS! AND MORE THAN LIKELY I'LL DIE BEING AMART -ASS!!so I have been with the same place for 35 years.
Other than last year missing 2 months due to a medical thing.
20 ish years ago I was off work almost a year with a shattered leg from a truck running over me and my motorcycle and I still went in to work regularly lol although it was just paperwork bs and setting up equipment and showing people how to do my job.
I have missed well under 30 days from being sick or wanting a day off not including vacation time. I have been late 5 times I remember and usually 30 minutes early and unlock the place and turn on equipment.
I survived 3 buyouts and a move from Cali to Tx 19ish years ago.
I totally resemble the don't make yourself irreplaceable or you will never move up but for me thats fine **** dealing with figure heads and customers lol.
I do have to say I am no longer not a smart ass I guess when your old and chrochity and hard to replace they deal with it lol. But I know not to push it to far and who I can screw with.
I was born a dumbass and can't get rid of it. Guess I'll take it to the grave.I WAS BORN A SMART-ASS! AND MORE THAN LIKELY I'LL DIE BEING AMART -ASS!!
exactlyI’m sure learning how to dig into applying for jobs. There’s a ton of opportunities out there. I’m treating looking for a job like a job. Up at 6, work out a bit, in the shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, and sit down in front of that danged PC and burn up that phone. Short lunch break and two get off my rear and walk around breaks. Call it good at 4:30. It’ll be interesting to see when interviews get scheduled. Been blowing up recruiters for sure.
My wife lost her job of 17 years for being too good at what she did. She had 2 years worth of vacation accrued, never missed a day ever.“MAKE YOURSELF VALUABLE, show up to work early, and do YOUR job.”
Worked for me.
UPDATE:
Good day for me today. Phone interview went great. Discussion with an acquaintance in SC that may need a Sales Manager, and a brief phone interview scheduled for tomorrow to address a GM position here in Houston. I’m glad. I was getting a little down. Prayers please, folks! I can use all the help I can get!
