Hey POVS,
I hope your day went well.
My work allows me to see how people can be wanted, and not be wanted.
Organizations are begging for the employees to remain with them, and in another breath, organizations are sending other employees, because do not need their services anymore.
I have worked in corporate for over 5 years, and I can tell you, that you can be almost indispensable.
This makes sense in the corporate world, but it also matters in all that you do - business, relationships, anything really!
Do you wonder why a girl likes attention from a particular guy (that she probably is not getting) and another guy is giving her the same attention and she is utterly irritated?
Let me give you a tip that will make you survive layoffs, or being put out (it mostly works). I was in the position circumstantially, but I realized that is reality.
Whatever your profession is, ENSURE THAT YOUR JOB DIRECTLY, OR ALMOST DIRECTLY GIVES MONEY TO THE COMPANY.
Ensure that the work you do generates revenue for the company.
When companies want to make tough decisions, they hardly look at your hard work, what they look at is how your hard work is directly generating funds
For example, if you are a good social media marketer, who can make noise about the company if that does not convert to funds, they may not want to let you go because they see that you are working, but when it becomes hard for them, they have to let you go, sadly…
Also, in your business.
What kind of business do you do?
Do you know that no matter how hard times are, some businesses will always thrive because they are essential?
The bottom line is to ensure that YOU MATTER!
FIND A WAY TO MATTER AND ACTUALLY MATTER!
In your relationships, do you matter? what value are you giving your friends,
I am Quality over quantity when it comes to friends, but I am quantity over quality when it comes to acquaintances…
each has a part to play, at different times.
I don’t try to be deep with you when you are not my friend, but I can be very jovial, helpful and friendly because we are acquaintances!
Do the ones you call your friends see you as their friends?
Or are you just a low-hanging fruit?
Hit yourself with the right answers and face reality!
So ask yourself, the business you are in, the people you call your friends, your role at the office?
DO YOU MATTER?
Do you have thoughts on today’s letter? Let me know in the comments!
Till the next time we talk, remember that you are UNSTOPPABLE
With Love and Everything Fresh,
Vee!
Insightful. Sha some of us, our job is saving the company money and not giving the company money. I hope we are safe 🫣
