Not really. He walked into a job he didn't like and said "i'm going to start to like this". When is that going to happen?
If you adopt the necessary attitude of going above and beyond for your employer it will help you out? I've found that to not be true in most cases.
- crusso 14y agoWhen is that going to happen? Learning that atitude was something I at least partly could control in my life was very important in my overall personal development. going above and beyond for your employer it will help you out? Yes. You learn your limits. You make time go by more quickly by being an active participant. You develop disciplines that can help you out in many contexts. You keep your mind active by DOING things rather than just watching the clock waiting for your shift to end. You make yourself more valued which can help you get that pay raise or promotion. You establish a reputation for being solid, which makes your future job searches a hell of a lot easier. Look, you're going to be working your job anyway. You might as well do it well, make the time go by quickly, and help yourself along the way.
- johnward 14y agoWell I still disagree with the premise. In my experience going above and beyond gets you nothing but more work.
