A person told a colleague: I want to leave this company. I am very dissatisfied with it.
The colleague suggested: This is not the best time to leave. You should use your current position to build strong client relationships and make yourself indispensable to the company. Then, when you leave with these clients, the company will truly feel the impact.
He found this advice reasonable and began to work harder. After half a year, he had built a large base of loyal clients.
When they met again, the colleague asked: Now is the right time, you can take action.
However, he calmly replied: The boss recently had an in-depth talk with me and plans to promote me to assistant general manager. I do not intend to leave for now.
In fact, this was also the original intention behind the advice.
This story shows that Work is not only about the current position, but also about accumulating long-term professional value. When your abilities and contributions exceed your role, more opportunities will naturally come.
