it always pays off to do your job and put in that extra push towards being the "right guy" in the company. i will say that i'm very lucky to be in the position i am in my company and am glad that i get to keep going with it.
glad to see another good guy out in the workforce. there are way too many pieces of crap that seem to get higher level/paying jobs for mysterious reasons unknown to those of us who hold a little intellect.
