Something about career (with mumbles in between)

反正都写了,顺便接下去吧。

今天和同事吃午餐时,聊到一个很有趣的话题。其中一个同事说了一句话:“如果公司认为员工是可有可无的,随时能够被取代的,那福利制度就不会改进。因为你走了,还有人会进来啊。”

*我的天啊我需要思考亲爱的室友你能戴耳机嘛*

Let's use English then, since I can't think properly now.

That sentence lead me to more questions.

How does your company value you?
Are you important for the company?
What can you do for the company that makes you irreplaceable?

In return,

How do you value your company?
What is the value of your current job?
What can you learn from your current job?
What kind of future can you shape while doing what you are doing now?

It has been two months since I started working. It is about time to ponder over all these questions, and find out what this job could offer me. What kind of future I want? How far I want to go?

This reminded me of a question asked by my coursemate not long ago.
Do you aim high in your career?

*Dear roommate at least decrease volume la aiyo... you know speaker is behind the phone? and the back of your phone is freaking in front of me ==*

Ehem... Do you aim high in your career?
I don't know bro, I can't think beyond three years.
But it is best to figure out from now on.

People don't really know what they want, but they know clearly what they do not want. That is a good direction to start. It's like crossing out the least possible answer while doing MCQ during examinations.
