How many people do we know that every time a volunteer is needed. They offer themselves for the job?
And how many of those times do they really finish and accomplish the task?
There is always someone like that in every work team.
These people accept any job that needs to be done urgently, whether they are capable of doing it or not just to let the boss know they exist and are willing to work but in the end the rest of the team has to take on the task of finishing their own jobs and getting this person’s job done in order to make the project push through.
Usually these same people that had to finish the job get recriminated by the “volunteer” for not doing their own part as best as they possibly could and all because they had to take some extra time to finish the volunteer’s job. The sad thing is that if everything goes well. The volunteer gets to bask in the greatness of a team work’s Job well done but if the project fails he always has a very goo and logical reason to excuse himself for not achieving the job at hand.
I have always thought that being efficient at doing the small things right is more important than having a degree and a bunch of titles hanging from you office wall. Unfortunately these peoples with tons of degrees but lack of skills get the best paychecks.
The small details make the big differences therefore make yourself as efficient as possible and at the same time take as many courses and get your degrees. That way you will be the person who helps solve every body’s problems, get everything done right and get (hopefully) a decent paycheck every month. Eventually you will raise higher than those leeches and get your kicks back.
As a last note remember; There are two ways of doing things. Doing them right and NOT doing them!.
