i am a very motivated, ambitious individual who finds myself at a turning point at work. i have always been the one to take on new responsibilities and challenges at work in the hopes of climbing the company ladder. granted i have always been one to speak my opinions and beliefs but have for the most part kept them in check. i have worked absorbanant amount of hours without further pay, have always been a team player and feel gratified when the company and more closely my job are doing well. there are certain individuals at the company that show no ambition or drive and dont do anything outside of their quote unquote job description. basically they couldnt care less how the company performs. due to the bussiness climate our company is restructuring and i find myself in the postion being passed over and having my responsibilities deminished and certain previously unamed co-workers given positions of more responsibility and authority. which brings me to my question: do companies want employees that are puppets and "yes" people who just do as they are told without any input. should i become the lazy guy in the corner who stays out of sight and just the minimum required and that is the road to advancement. or, do i keep the dream alive that what my upbringing told me is true that you control your destiny and through hard work and honesty you will get ahead? do i keep my mouth shut about these position changes and just start looking for a new opertunity or do i voice my frustrations to my boss?
