It was alleged in a recent biography that Elon Musk fired his assistant of twelve years after she asked for a raise. Elon allegedly told her to take two weeks off, during which he performed her duties himself. When she returned to work, Elon allegedly told her that he no longer needed her.
Elon has denied this story as total nonsense. So let’s give him the benefit of the doubt as he strives to save the human race from itself.
The important factor here is your attitude. Add value. Be helpful. Don’t fight against your employers.
Here are some specific examples to give you the general idea.
If you didn’t finish everything you had to do at work today, stay a little longer. Take work home. Come in early.
Don’t leave anything till the last minute. It will backfire.
Make sure you achieve the end result. If your boss asks you to get a document from his lawyer, get the document from his lawyer. Don’t just make a phone call. Don’t just send an email. That’s not what you were asked to do.
Keep following up until the end result has been achieved, ie. you have received the document and given it to your boss.
Companies reward results, not effort.
