Be the person they'd miss the most
“We lost someone today.” The boss comes home and says it. Their partner doesn’t need to ask — they can see the boss is gutted. That person mattered.
The lesson
“We lost someone today.”
The boss comes home and says it. Their partner doesn’t need to ask — they can see the boss is gutted. That person mattered.
“We lost someone today.”
Same sentence, a different partner. ‘Oh — okay.’ A shrug. That person was just… there. Replaceable. Forgotten by next month.
“We lost someone today.”
Same sentence again — and this time the partner can tell the boss is quietly relieved. Hard to work with. Bad for the team. So — which one are you?
Leave a mark.
Be so good at what you do that they don’t want to lose you. Not can’t — don’t want to. That’s the one worth being.
This is not being a try-hard.
Try-hard is loud, anxious, performed — effort that’s really about being seen. This is the opposite of that. It’s quiet.
It’s just doing the job, properly.
Work hard. Be diligent and professional. Leave your problems at the door. Don’t gossip. Quietly, every shift, do it well.
“I don’t care if your house burns down
— you come in and you teach the best class you’ve ever taught.”
Irreplaceable cuts both ways.
It’s how to be in your own second job — and it’s the best thing you can teach a client who’s shaky at work. Be the one they’d miss.
