Just got a thought that what is the measurement for your working ability.
It is not your capability but your ability to serve your direct boss and surrounding people.
Serve them hearing things they like to hear.
Serve them seeing the things done as they want.
Serve them getting award because of employing you~
It is the world of "Customer Service".
Customer Satisfaction is the only thing and everything.
Eventhough some people might not like but be sure your boss love you.
Love what your contribution make them vary happy.
