Are you a high maintenance employee? *grin*

I just saw this item in one of my newsletters. I wondered if anyone 
considered themselves a high maintenance employee? At first blush, it would 
seem a derogatory term, but as the article points out toward the end, one 
underlying reason for "high maintenance" employees is something TWers 
sometimes worry about, to wit:

   "Finally, Brooks uses clear communication to help
   employees understand where they stand in the company
   and where they're going. "High maintenance occurs when
   there is no solid career path or when the next level
   in a career is not discernably different from the
   previous position," says Brooks."

It seems kind of an odd term to apply to employees whose reasons for being 
so labeled range from 'personality issues' to feeling trapped in a dead end 
position.

Thoughts?
