How to be reliable at work?

Hi! Well, this should be overly obvious, but then again I know my brain burps and puts me in a fog at the darndest times, so here it goes. Especially these days, any company can only afford just a certain number of employees, who cover all the needed functions in a company. They can’t afford to have extra people around to pitch in when somebody calls in sick. So when you are not there, there is some function within the company that doesn’t get taken care of. And the more inmportant the job task is to the company, the more important it is to have an employee who is reliable. And that extends out to the person being reliable while they are at work. That they can be relied upon to be actually working, doing their job while they are there. It also goes to be important that you are there when you are supposed to be, and that you don’t leave woork for any old stupid reason. If you don’t show up, then some poor soul has to do not only their job, but try to do yours as well. Not fair to them, and very difficult too. And being reliable makes a huge statement about your character. For work and possible promotions, and for friendships when the times get tough. I hope this helps you! Take Care! Don
