What did you get from this movie?

Always put yourself first. No one ever finds you irreplaceable. Stevens' employer recognized loyalty and experience but if he had to terminate Stevens or any servant for that matter, he would do so without regard or remorse. An employer, be it corporation or individual, do not care for anything or anyone but their own well being. Years of service, loyalty, knowledge, aptitude, none
of these things matter. No one is ever irreplaceable. Stevens gave his life to his employer and to his profession. He was terribly misguided in giving up everything in life. He realized too late that he threw away happiness when it could have been there all along. Moral of story: put your personal life first, above anyone else. Say no to employers. If they terminate your employment, then good, they had no regard for you at all anyway and would have terminated you anyway down the line. Walk away from mean spirited people. Learn to have respect for yourself above and beyond any one else, especially an employer.
