I left many jobs and burned those bridges because of my own "stinkin' thinkin" that my bosses didn't "get it" because they didn't know what I was contributing. Yeah, I felt like it was my BOSS'S job to notice the incredible ways I was saving money and producing for the organization. Funny how we write those things on our resumes, but that's too late. One former manager ran across my resume on LinkedIn and emailed me saying, to effect, if I had known YOU were behind all those things, I would have fought harder to keep you! Live and learn... @Tiffany thanks for your comment as well.

Glad to see you pick up this topic. I think a lot of people don't think about this, because it's sort of a big responsibility, so a lot of people would rather just float along and wonder why they aren't getting ahead, rather than equipping their boss with the information they need to see your value. Interested to see the conversation about this and what other people think. I had many different views shared when I posted it originally. Hey, Robert. Glad to see you pick up this topic.
