How to make yourself indispensable?

You can't teach experience...

hmmmmm...

"there are so many rumors about me...feel free to believe in any of'em.."

sometimes to be indispensable.. you have to take the extra mile. take any work unconditionally without any qualms. but beware, everything has a limit.

just think of something reasonable.

"Adda ti adal na, ngem awan ti sursuro na."

being multi-tasker? the negative effect in the end is that all persons in the company will rely on you until such time that you cannot handle all the jobs by yourself alone and you need to delegate it.

Flirting with your boss is not a good idea either especially if you have the same sex unless he/she or you have different sexual preference (lol).

Still hardwork, honesty, and that burning love for your job counts for you to retain your job.

"Adda ti adal na, ngem awan ti sursuro na."

My Japanese friend, no you don’t know her but I referred to her above, is now a working woman again..:)

Thought I'd share a good moment with you.

Just:

- Be multi-tasked

- Work extra hours

- Surrender 1/2 of your salary

- Waive your rights

- Don't complain

- Praise management

response To keep Happy and please your BOSS.....Generally this works (irrespective of gender, nationality or religion), seen in past.

Certain people (me an example) find it really difficult, it doesn't go with my personality, being outspoken and bold.

for me TIME MANAGEMENT & MULTI TASKING attitude is the best answer...

i agree with u greentea,ur boss will not let go because your a hardworker,honest and dedicated to say always "YES Boss"...even in time of crises...welcome to the club...

dollar question-how do i not become indispensable?

MAKE MILLIONS,GAZILLIONS of qatari riyals for your sponsor and boss...

Yes, that's right. They were not employed in Qatar, no worries. Each in their country.

Salam

If ur friends r the victims of recssion or what?

I’m annoyed for two of my friends, Japanese and Egyptian. Each, in their respective field, represents a model for hardworking popular employee.

But they're sitting home now, for months

Salam

The problem is that in the current economic climate, no one is really indispensible..

A very dear friend in The UK, who has vast experiece in his field got laid off last week without notice..

That's one heck of a proof that they must try harder to make themselves indispensable.^_^

"I don't go back on my words, that's my way of ninja"

I just hope I don’t sound gloomy! but a couple of my friends, in several countries, were laid off and they feel miserable. Some already have found a job, some are still searching.

Let's hope for and offer the best we have.

Salam

Thanks a lot Happy

Very nice post, but the Pink Slip can be waved at any employee at any given time. Even your contract stipulates that, no prior notice is required.

One just does their best and what will happen will happen.

Albert Einstein once said "Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. If you value the 5 areas of your life, Social, Mental, Physical, Spiritual, & Financial, in that way your boss will make you indispensable.

I agree with SMOKE and PA regarding multi-tasking, I was being paid as a designer but I know how to operate CTP (Computer to Plate) processing, & I do not present my self to operate since there is an operator but it's an advantage for me when that operator is out, my boss is always calling me to operate the machine, in that way I make my self indispensable. (Suplado mode)

About the global financial crisis, just give your tithes to the church and God will do the rest. Have faith!

3 ELEMENTS OF AN INDISPENSIBLE EMPLOYEE:

1) BEST TIME

2) BEST EFFORTS

3) BEST OUTPUT

with rarest qualification with high demand in market such as 'Hackers' to work for IT security.

When said multi tasking doesn't mean picking up others job to make others unemployed but during crisis time; you could be utilised by management to fit you in other roles when your unit is not required.

such as downturn in the market a multi skilled relationship manager can act as Business strategist or business planner.

The original post is about "financial crisis and job cutting".

Employees are laid off against their well. There’re bigger corporate plans to downsize staff and cut budget. Staff cannot help with that, no matter how productive they are.

Salam

Cut the crap, be yourself, do your best and hope for the best....

Shamz thinks that "a conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking".

No one is indispensable... my logic is if you wanna keep your job then work hard and prove yourself... having said that if you have been slacking off for the last 10 years and now wanna keep your job you may have a bit of a job trying to keep your job...

.who's ass did i not kiss,

pls fall in line, lol......

.

.

.seriously, indispensable?

.you will be if:

.

.

.if youv got God given-Talent.

.

.if you don't then be

.honest and a harder-than-hard worker....

.

.

.that's all......

.

Either adopt baldrick's suggestion or Kiss-A$$

you are right PA. doing the jobs of other people disrupt the flow of system, hierarchy and communication at work. what if you will get sick? the office will be a disaster since no one knows anything.

kadaut...

to make yourself being indispensable is by trying to be ready of being disposable.

"Adda ti adal na, ngem awan ti sursuro na."

be productive at work.

"katas ng qatar"

aside from doing your job diligently, it also pays to continue learning/ honing your skills by reading books, taking up higher degree/courses and learning from other professionals of your choosen field.

kadaut...

Yep Kinimoto.. I can tell you in private dark alley.

when you're boss tells you, "it's midnight dark outside", on a very sunny day, just say "YES Boss, its is indeed very dark outside" :P

i guess it works for her coz she always get full mark during performance evaluation time :D)))

"Take my advice, im not using it"

It helps to lessen or remove the corruption and people-blaming in a company...regardless of race and rank.

"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach

Change your name to "Nobody" cos nobody is indespensable!

nice one tess, how bout flirting with your boss?

oopppps not a good idea. kwe kwe

"I don't go back on my words, that's my way of ninja"

multitasking is not a bad idea, as long as you can handle it though.

"I don't go back on my words, that's my way of ninja"

I agree with SMOKE.

Give your best shot by doing your duties with honesty & hardword & have full faith in ALLAH.

I dont believe in sucking up to anyone to keep my job. This is what i can do and this is what u are paying me to do. If according to VB here i start to take up other people's job, multi task proving that i'm better than the other 10 people who are hired, do u think the boss will fire those 10 people, keep me to do their work and pay me their salary? I dont think so?

So my advice is just do what you were hired to do coz if they have to let u go then there is nothing u can do about it.

Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

_[]~SMoKE~[]_

love ur job, and everything good will follow.

Don't let go your boss's leg.

Stick to it till the RECESSION ends.
