Day 21,333

It is Friday, the end of a long week, and the 11th day of February.

I’m reminded of a conversation I had before the turn of the century, all the back in the 90’s. The topic had to do with being necessary to a business’s operations. Is it good to be irreplaceable?

I argued that it is bad.

Think about it. If you are the only person capable of doing a job, you can’t get promoted. You won’t be given additional responsibilities. You’ll be stuck in role until the business model changes.

So, being irreplaceable is a bad thing… but even worse is thinking you are irreplaceable when, indeed, you are.

As a technical trainer, I’m replaceable. I’m pretty good at what I do, with decades of experience, and, hopefully, an appealing delivery style – but I have no illusions about my employer’s capacity to replace me if I start acting like a fool, throwing tantrums, and making my employer and my entire industry look bad.

You know, if you’re going to pick your hill to die on, aim a little higher. It just demonstrates how people think they are part of the solution when all they are doing is compounding the problem.

And they can be replaced… this is going to be the last convoy for a lot of the protesting truckers in Canada, and likely the groups organizing in the US. Anti-science idiots that spend too much time listening to right-wing satellite radio with hosts that will be more than happy to talk good people into putting their asses on the line for a pretty weak cause.

I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.

Peace y’all.
