Everyone Is Just An Employee

Sometimes in life, responsibility is thrusted upon you to own and to deliver on.

When you become a married partner, you are expected to be that supportive and loving shoulder for your significant other.

When you become a parent, you are expected to treat your family with love and care.

But what happens responsibility is thrusted upon you at work? You have just been given a promotion, new clients or maybe a team to manage but does that mean you need to deliver more?

No. To treat yourself differently from a Junior to a Manager is a slippery slope. Sometimes these new responsibilities can weigh heavy and cause people to over extend way past your portfolio causing it to infringe on other responsibilities and aspects of a person’s life.

No matter how high you go up on the Corporate Ladder, never forget you are just an employee. You won’t get paid more because of your after-work efforts or you won’t get more recognition because of your late night messages but you will definitely loose time and effort on the other things that matter.

Do the best you can do within the constrains of your professional role but never let it creep in and take away time from the other important aspects.

Life’s for living, not just working.
