I don't work for my boss, I work for myself.
Told a friend during a conversation.
I didn't understand. Can you elaborate?
I replied
My boss expects me to notify him of every small issue.
He wants to see my visibility, but I, on the other hand, believe in working
silently.
- the friend replied
What about your appraisal then if you didn't have the visibility?
- I asked curiously.
I was given an average rating.
He laughed
Isn't it a sad thing?
I asked
No. Because I kept on learning things and focused on gaining more skills.
Eventually, I got a 50% hike elsewhere.
- he replied happily.
But I still work for myself and not my boss.
- he said confidently😀
Got it, sir, you are great!
I replied
**If you work to please your boss, you will have short-term growth.
If you work to enrich skills, certainly your growth would be long term**
Thoughts?
