Bring value to the team. If you are worth more money than what you’re costing the company, act in accordance with the company’s core values, and keep a positive attitude/are pleasant to be around, you should always have a spot on that team if you want it.
How can you go from just having job security to being indispensable? Do work that nobody else is willing or able to do. Go above and beyond what’s listed in your job description. If you’re proactive and help solve company problems/issues without being prompted to, and you continuously do this, you will soon find yourself earning raises and rising in the ranks.
Go find the inefficiencies at your workplace and strive to eliminate those. You don’t have to suggest broad, sweeping changes (those can be viewed as risky), but if you tweak certain aspects of your job to make it easier, it could go a long way with your boss.
