Reflection As I face yet another reorg at my company, I’m reminded that I am expendable. Don’t get me wrong, I work for a good company that values its employees, but at the end of the day the company’s obligations are to the shareholders. No matter how hard I work or how far I advance in my career, one day it will all be gone. When I leave my company, hopefully through retirement and not another reason, there will be those who will miss me; but the work still needs to get done and someone else will fill the void I left, and I’ll quickly become an afterthought.
