More and more as I meet people I am finding one comment growing.
"I have never worked so hard"
There are two reasons that are likely for this.
Firstly, Its true that less are having to do more in difficult times.
The alternative reason is that by telling everyone, some feel protected from the anxiety of losing their job.
For some, having to account more for what they are doing has been a wake up call.
Where in the past, in better times no-one looked too closely the spotlight now is on everyone.
Heres the problem though.
Too many people are placing emphasis on output and not outcomes.
The only real way to protect a job is to argue we are cost effective.
That means you need to have real proof.
Lots of output with no outcome is frustrating and tiring.
Its better to measure what is the likely outcome before engaging any time.
Quality of work is good but see something for your endeavours.
If you cannot prove your worth to yourself others will struggle too, but it takes honesty.
