It tends to differ for us all, depending on our line of work, or if we run or have our own businesses etc. But overall, many of us have made lasting relationships and friendships with a small scale group of peers. With small business, it's difficult sometimes, to make friends of your employee's... but it doesn't mean you should treat them any different. Show people the respect they deserve.
They were either called our "work buds, or "work Colleagues"... or even work family. When we think of the number of hours we spend at work, as opposed to at home, they truly do become a second family, work family.
The unfortunate part is that there are a handful of prime evil, lazy ass, no good for nothings, that like to make our lives a living hell. Saddens me to say, but I've had a few in my work career. Some days, for some people, it makes getting up for work a struggle, and you end up hating your job. And so why do we let this small minority do this, or push us around. Stand your ground people.
These are folks that hate their jobs, and can't stand happy people in the same job. Or the hate the management to the point, that they have to recruit "haters" too. STAY CLEAR AWAY... is what I say. If everyone just got along, and I know, we all have different characters, but just think how great the morale would be, if this did happen.
It's like checking a work schedule to see how's on and who's off, and cringing at the thought of having to work with a certain individual. Kill them with kindness I say, and if that doesn't work, then ignore. Every so often, no matter what struggles we have outside of work, some days, we bring our home life to work with us, and makes it that much harder to function, or relate with our work peers.
And visa versa, we should not bring our work life, problems, issues or struggles home. It makes for an unhappy household, and it shouldn't be the way. We used to come home, and say, "hey honey, how was your day?"... in question format, that opened up a whole can of worms. Now I have set a new phrase, worded, Hey Honey, hope you had a good day, and if not, your home now, relax.
That's right. Don't let these "ignorant", and "low self esteem" individuals break who you are. IF you like joking around and making people laugh, then JUST DO IT !!!! If you like helping out, when your work load is low and you see someone struggling, then HELP. And God knows, if you see someone not pulling their end of things, and purposely not doing their job, or endangering yours, then SPEAK UP.....
Too many of us get intimidated by folks, that i used to fall 'NEGATIVE NELLIES"... or the ones, that can't stand the new kids on the block, you know, the "new hires"... and want to test them out, by giving them wrong information, so they purposely SCREW UP, and/or train them wrong. Nothing urks me more.
The morale can stem from the management, from time to time, but sometimes, it's created by miserable employee's that didn't have a good run with their bosses, and want to throw them under the train, just for pure satisfaction. Like really ????
This week is over and done with, and Monday, for some of us is the start of a fresh new week. Think of ways to make your work place a happy one. A stress free environment among your peers, so you can function day to day. Don't shoot down the new comers, and don't criticize people that want to do a job a certain way, because it works for them. Doctor's, and nurses, and engineer's and office staff, no matter what your job occupation is, give yourself and others the benefit of the doubt, and make the work place a great place to gather in. Whether it's a short shift, an 8 hr, or 12 hour long shift, as you're plugging away, make a difference to someone and make them smile.
Some are smiling, and you don't know what struggles they have outside the work place. Take the time, to talk, and put down your damn cell phones, and give people the time of day, they all deserve, including yourself. Lunch hour walks around the block, just to chat, and catch up. Buying forward a coffee at the Tim's line, or in the work cafeteria, just to make someone's day.
But a reminder, to all you miserable folks, cheer up, because none of us getting out of this life ALIVE, so enjoy the days, afternoons, and evening shifts, and make the best of both your worlds. The workplace will benefit, and home life, will too. Think of how much happier we would all come home.
Stay healthy, happy and most of all, give of yourself all the good in you, and bury the bad.
Love you all Miss "B"..... have a great weekend xo
