If something were to happen to you, whether it’s a career change, an illness, or even a tragic event, the company or organisation that you work for will move forward. A vacancy il be created and you will quickly be replaced.
As irreplaceable as you may feel you are, the company or organisation has an obligation to its shareholders, customers, and other employees to maintain operations. Someone will fill your role, adapt to the tasks, and soon enough, the memory of your efforts will fade.
A company is an entity. It’s just the nature of how business works. For you, this is a reminder that while work is an important part of life, it should not be the only thing in life!
In the cold light of day, working late into the night or working extra at the weekend, may give you space or lessen the anxiety being behind, for instance, but if going above and beyond to a level that will impact your stress levels and well being, you need to ask yourself if this is worth the sacrifice?
Prioritising your health, relationships, and personal growth is crucial, not only because these aspects of life bring you the joy, but also because your work role is not permanent.
