Do you think you are an asset of the company?

I have worked for my brother in law's pharmacy for 10 years. And i can honestly say that I do believe that I was an asset to that business. Why? Because I was the one who put up the business while my brother in law was finishing medical school. The only think that he did for his business was to give me signed cheques for me to give as payment for all the suppliers. He didn't even help me out how i was supposed to start. I had to learn it on my own, as well as how to put the necessary mark-up for all the items we had. I was also the one who arranged the store without any of his input. When the business was fully operational, I would work 8 hours a day. My sister in law would help me out. But practically, I did all the work including bookkeeping. But I never got tired coz I love working at that store. I wanted to be a doctor but wasn't able to. But since the business is related to what I have dreamed of becoming, I fell in love with it. But of course, when certain things happen, there was only one person to point at--- Me! For the unintentional mistakes I did, I was sorry. But I felt that even if it was no longer my concern, they (mother in law and brother in law) would just put me in hot water. I am no longer working there since 2007. I felt that i have given so much of my time. I wasn't even allowed to stay home even when I was sick, but always gladly complied with what they asked from me. There was never one task in that store that I did not do or did not know how to do. I left coz I feel it was too much and yet I am not fully appreciated.

hi, i could say that i am a little beat asset of the company where i am working,because not all my co-worker are not familiar when it comes to validating of business requirements,so when they have this requirements they will ask me first if what kind of requirement it is.

I consider myself an asset for one company I work for (I do contract work so work for several). I proofread for them among other things and they would put out some very amateurish content if I didn't. They have also fallen into asking my opinion on various things that I really have no connection with, so I think they see me as an asset.

I would Love to think that I am a positive asset to the company I work for, but many times I wonder. Sometimes I feel that anything I do is often overlooked and never appreciated, and often I tend to be criticised for everything as well. I feel I am a good asset and do a good job, but since I never am appreciated for anything often feel left out.

No I think I am hardworking,loyal and honest with my employer, if he want to promote me then it makes me happy, if he don't want me I feel like a rubbish.

I hope i am. Although it still feels weird. Especially since it feels weird giving orders to underlings even if you still feel like one yourself. I dont know if you get what i mean. This all still new to me.

No i'm not an asset per say but I think I contribute the best I can. So i'd say i'm an asset, like a lot of folks but not of the company. There's a lot of hardworking, talented people there - far brighter then me but I do what I can. The company would still exist and sustain itself without me. I'm sure some people do think they are one of their companys assets but I think most people are hard working and just try to do their bit
