The Irrelevant Career IV
This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.
Hello. Why are all career people irrelevant? Because right now there is someone somewhere who can replace anyone.
Think about it. When someone left who was deemed 'irreplacable', were they eventually replaced? Of course. There may have been varying degrees of pain, but it happened. In the case of sports teams, if a Hall of Famer leaves, it's obviously very difficult. However, there is a person in that spot the next day or season.
What also becomes obvious when someone leaves a position at work is the 80/20 rule, or Pareto principle. 80% of what the person did only got 20% of the results. That means only 20% of what that person did has to be replaced in order to get 80% of the results. In theory it sounds very simple right? So why are people spending 80% of their career doing irrelevant things? More next week.
