Ah but here's the caveat: "given enough time." For most jobs the time line is much longer than you'd think. Also, we're always discovering new jobs. Misemployment misunderstands what it is employees do. Employees help a business economize (produce value for folks better, cheaper, faster). The worker did a fantastic job and should be very proud of their $40M acomplishment. Ever notice how the best employees are always being given new jobs? That's because they're finding new jobs. Doing exactly the same task for many years is risky business because the repetitive nature lends itself to automation. The good news is that employees can avoid this. The recipe is finding new ways to create value for the business (and hence customers).
