If you were the person who just got back from a two-week vacation and no one missed you, be concerned. You’re replaceable and maybe even non-essential.
You may think that flying under the radar is a good career strategy, but given the competition in today’s market, you’re better off being seen as an important contributor, not just a cog in the system.

- Be the first one to show up and the last one to leave, every day
