Tired of being a vibration analyst? Sick of getting raises? Want to move to a different place of employment or collect unemployment benefits? Here’s one of the most sure-fire ways to accomplish it: Make sure nobody in management at your current employer understands how valuable your services are.
Seriously now, it is essential to your job security that management understands the value and cost savings that you bring to the organization.
- Make sure you quantify the “avoided cost” realized by your company due to your efforts or the efforts of those who may report directly to you. But never exaggerate the numbers so that no one will take them seriously. Be honest with your savings calculations. A job well done will save so much that exaggerating it is never necessary.
- Make careful reports that communicate to management the return on investment of your hiring, deployment, or training. Do not hesitate to report work and results that make your managers look good to their managers. This will ensure your longevity and prosperity quicker than you can imagine. Managers always like looking good to their bosses.
Be diligent and honest in your work and the savings and benefits will follow of their own accord!
