Iceland in Yasni Exposé of Lauren Hayes

I offer: A fervor and commitment to my work and pursuit of ongoing continued-education on own time. I had genuine interest and found my work intrinsically rewarding well beyond just a paycheck. Some organizations/systems do not value this type of worker, and mediocrity is preferred. I found out the hard way. The job I once loved is now a great loss. I assumed the job was secure due to my solid qualifications and consistent performance, accomplishments, business value, and respectful compliance. It was also a critical need. I had an excellent employment record and delivered results beyond expectation. I've now learned that sometimes excellent work performance is not rewarded. In fact, it can yield a polar opposite of what one might expect as an overzealous enthusiastic employee. I believe there are good employers who will recognize an retain good employees. Others perhaps are too far removed to see an all-too-common practice of ousting employees who care and are loyal is simply bad for business.
