Thought of the day:
“Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.”
~ Johnny Carson, American television host, comedian, writer, and producer
All of us have worked in positions where the job description and/or title do not reflect the actual position one holds in the company. One of the prompts for today asked “If you had a title that reflected the best of what you brought to the party, what would it be?”. In every organization I have worked in since Commercial & Farmers, I have requested my card not give a “title” whether it be Director, VP or SVP, but instead simply say “Loan Servicing”. Back in the 90’s when I first asked for this, the VP of Operations who handled such things refused, saying I had to have a title on the cards. We argued back and forth and finally I told her my title was CCBW. Suspicious, she asked our boss [the EVP] what it meant and he suggested she call me and ask. I didn’t know I was on speaker phone when she called, reminded her that I didn’t want a title if possible and that CCBW was a compromise. When she pressed for the meaning, I admitted it was “Chief Cook and Bottle Washer” and she hung up abruptly as our boss started laughing – and my card read “Loan Servicing” as I requested.
I may not “love what I do” but I don’t hate my job. Trust me -- been there done that – it is not worth it to work at a job you hate or with people you cannot get along with just for money. Me? I work to live; I don’t live to work.
