No!! I feel very lucky fo work for a great company! But I also feel very responsible to also be Valuable to my company!!

Yep

Thank you for this wisdom this morning!

Maybe the advice should be “Talk to someone about it”. If it can’t or won’t get resolved then maybe a time for a change.

Communication on both sides is important. If there is something wrong tell somebody

You can’t thrive personally, professionally, or financially where you’re undervalued. Finding a company that brings out the best in you will have the result of showing you your true value. This isn’t always monetary. Maybe your value is tied too closely with a position that you’re ready to move on from. Maybe your value is tied to certain tasks that you enjoy because you’re good at them.

Look at your employer and ask yourself: How often are they putting people in roles based on where they can thrive because they enjoy the work?

If you don’t think it’s often enough, then it’s time to move on. I’m on the vendor side now feeling truly fulfilled, but I was able to find similar fulfillment with certain companies when I was still on-site and it’s the way I ran my teams.

Leasing consultant loves marketing? Here you go, boo, you’re the key player in our marketing efforts. Assistant Manager wants to grow? Bet! Let’s cross train! Groundskeeper is an avid reader? Let them start a community book club that *they* run with your residents.

Valuing people has a lot more to do with seeing them for what they are in more ways than just how they can contribute to your bottom line.
