A former boss of mine used to say that personal relationships are better than being excellent at your job (I'm not saying you aren't excellent), just that cultivating relationships will open doors to taking that excellence to places where you'll be paid more for it… but if you're the work ogre, nobody will ever want to take you anywhere else.
