Difference between Bosses and Subordinates

Ever wonder why you work so hard and still get nowhere?

You may be more skillful or knowledgeable than your supervisor or your boss, but you are the one doing all the work while he or she is the one who needs only to do the talking to get things done. It is, of course, possible that your supervisor knows better than you, and his or her time may be more precious than yours, but at the end of the road, it is usually (or always) you who sees things through.

Here lies the difference. People believes bosses use brains, subordinates use brawn, skills, or qualities most deem not worth much. In reality, all these are plain abuse, the conditioning of a capitalist's wayward mentality, shaped by governance and society. The philosophy underlining this belief is:

"Being able is good, but being able to make use of able people is better" - me.

If you, like me, are facing the same nonsense as an employee, then you must learn to do things differently. You'll need to do whatever you can to show your visibility, to obtain the recognition you deserve, to show the work you've done, or lose your credibility and be misplaced or replaced eventually!
