Do you know the reason of your employment in an organization? Your
reason (among others) for employment is to achieve the goals given to you by
your organization. For example if you are a sales person, your reason for
employment is to achieve the sales targets assigned to you.
For as long as you meet or even exceed your sales targets you have a
reason to be employed there. Your job security is assured for the simple reason
that you’re productive. Thus, there's a valid reason to continually be
employed.
The moment you’re not anymore productive you also begin to diminish the
value of your employment. And if your decline continues your organization
will start to think of ways on how you could be legally separated from them.
For the simple fact that no organization would want to continue paying an
unproductive employee.
Among other valid reasons they may cite also job redundancy, job
inefficiency, automation and computerization. But termination or separation
will not be an abrupt decision on the part of your organization. Perhaps, you
would still be given a chance or even chances to prove yourself once again.
If you fail to be productive again you have to face the reality. That
the organization has no more reason to continue your employment. So what is
your option/s? You only have one option, which is to work hard and be
productive again. By doing so you’re giving your organization a valid reason to continue your
employment.
Therefore, it is a must for an employee to work hard if he/she desires
to continue his/her employment. Otherwise it would be goodbye to employment and
hello to unemployment.– Marino J. Dasmarinas
