They have disposable work books on how to do more for less. That has been said many times, and in many places. That’s a life transformed to hell by people who have no idea what they are doing. It’s no longer work if all you do is work. It showcases their value at the expense of the staff actually doing the work Which almost always boils down to poor leadership and assholes, because who else would buy that garbage?Īll of these new "leaders" have boiler plate hot concepts to improve their image, and where they land next. Unneeded changes to showcase whatever the current hot BS leadership self-help books say is the “secret” key. Just hold on, if you work hard -raises are coming! I had new administrations and new supervisors all with bold ideas of what more I could do for them for less. I watched years go by with little or no financial gain- always with the same excuses along the lines of a tight budget. I expanded my skills and abilities to show my value. Covering all the extra jobs AND doing my own extra to help out. That was a miserable life.Īt one point I was working 3 jobs. This was me paying my dues to a life I lived before that was really all about me. I wanted to help, and I found the best people that I have ever met want to be helpers in their community. II chose that, I am not just now complaining about my choice. I put all my years in being paid at a poverty level. They leave a wake of frustration and chaos. Their work life is taking apart the engine, and then hailing a cab to go to the next place. They started higher up that ladder, they abuse the privilege- and they abuse people. They see the staff as toys for the new business coach books they have bought and built their hollow life upon. These bosses leave after they make a mess. They older staff see the new youth making as much -or more before paying dues. The ones that do not seek credit, their value is that the team succeeds. Instead, I worry about the old quality experienced workers that keep everything going, the ones that put in all those extra underpaid (or unpaid) hours to show their value. I have learned to not worry about how much those "higher ups" offer the new young workers that want the job, but are not willing to do the extra work to move up the responsibility chain. It is obvious to all except those that don't care. It's not hard to create a happy workplace. I have held a standard for workplaces that developed over many years, and different jobs. No matter the consequence (and I have seen taken some big hits over the years), I have NEVER regretted standing up.
Everyone has to make that choice on their own. But I had to stand up and fight toxic abuse AGAIN within my former workplace before I genuinely understood that those who have power, will often abuse their power.Īs I have said many times, there are moments where you choose to stand up with great fear for your well-being, or stay seated and take it. I don’t have any way to express how much my home space matters to me, and I finally discovered why. It's upsetting, and I end up stumbling around looking for coping skills. The abuse of power and disrespect is very difficult to watch. Maybe I have aged out of the workplace, certainly my viewpoints have. This has rarely been my experience at work. If I should lose myself and have a jerky moment- I take responsibility and I fix it. If I say that I cannot do something, I do not worry about being punished. I built a family to be what I did not have, loving and supportive. And these spaces in my home where I am surrounded by the things I loved throughout my life are like stepping into a really loved part of myself. It wasn’t sad to me because I have realized over many years that I like me. I explained why I don’t have a best friend, I have not found the person that can be that for me. And I said that I don’t have a best friend, then I corrected myself and said I have my wife Chris. I was talking about family and friends today with a staff member. How I survived the times that I have stood up and watched my life flash before my eyes. Let's put a pin in it, or how I survived job loss, or Pop goes the Weasel As the saying goes: If all there is- is God, then there is no God. I have found that the extremely religious types, are the least trustworthy. It is with that frame that I say this Watching people sing gospel in churches, with their eyes closed and swaying back and forth - is very creepy and cult like. I work for my community, and for people that are often invisible to society. Not be raised in much of a religious environment has been very healthy for me- or at least I think it has been.
