Thanks, I do think it can be a very valuable quality - a friend said to me in this employment market employers have their pick which means they don't value their staff (they can replace us so easily).
All my school reports the word 'conscientious' would be used again and again, it really is how I'm wired. I appreciate that quality in others too, but some supervisors don't seem to care. I do predict that sales will slump in this period, waste is already up which is bad news.
Trying to get ahead at other people's expense - yes I have seen that too. I saw a reliable (older) thorough employee get thoroughly demoralised last week by a young supervisor with zero people skills, I think the supervisor was trying to look smart by 'sorting out' (that was his expression) this employee but he just looked inept to me.
I try not to think about it when at work, but I really need to get better at that and shrugging it off. Exercise helps hugely, so I am doing that when I can.
