Nah, sounds like you're doing fine.
I'd point out that (IMO) you feel like you DO provide value, that you are good at what you do, recognized for it, and there aren't active negatives in your work environment. All that's lacking is a meaningful "greater purpose" that results from the value you provide. Which is fine, although may eventually transition to less than fine.
- hug 7y agoThanks. I didn't really think I wasn't doing well enough, but affirmation is always welcome. As for producing value, yeah, I absolutely crush it in terms of value. I'm spitting out value left and right. If you could measure the amount of value I produce, it's an ever growing number, way way way in the black, guys on the stock market floor screaming 'buy buy buy'. Value practically oozes from my pores. If value were electricity, I could power a small city. Not sure what that means, though.
- RangerScience 7y agoSounds like a reasonable quest for Step 2. (Step 3 is profit) I just spent a month doing something enjoyable difficult, but that even if I'd succeeded, would not have produced even close to a month's paycheck worth of value. I'd say "trade?" except there's not much upside to offer. But seriously: Consider "accuracy" versus "precision". Reaching accuracy from precision is calibration; but AFAIK there's no way to reach precision from accuracy. You're producing value. Now it's just a question of aligning that value with, well, broader value. Which you can take your time to do.
