One thing I wish....resistance exposed

I wish people would take more pride in themselves and learn that you never know in life what is the direction or path you may be taking and how it will effect you. For over 20 years, I worked in the Human Resources field predominately in staffing. During this time, I worked at, at least 10 different companies. You say, sounds fishy. Not really, most people work at many jobs during their lifetimes. There are those exceptional individuals that stick it out and maintain employment at 1 or maybe 2 companies in their career, sadly, most do not.
One reason is because there is too much Corporate Politics. Wake up employers, it is the nit-picking and backbiting that drive employees away. Yeah, better benefits, more money and less commute make the new job way more attractive.
I believe Oprah leaving will have a dramatic affect on individuals that are aware and awake in this life. They will realize that we can ALL make a difference. All we need to do is exhibit a little effort and take that extra moment to look at the big picture. Be proud of who you are and what it took to get you to that point.
When I left my last employer, I heard they made an example of me on a corporate intranet site.
I never understood why, was it the fact that I was so focused on keeping my job, placing people and remaining stressed out. Or was it the fact that I knew the difference between a do'er and a complainer and I wanted dealings with complainer. At times, right and wrong just don't matter when you are dealing with corporate image. Rather than investigate why such a good employee would be so angry at decisions that would directly impact them were never discussed. You wanted me to be something that I was not and that is a liar. I do not decieve others intentionally in business and I do not trust liar nor do I do business with them.
I have very strong instincts regarding people. During times when I am interacting with my polar opposites, my hair stands on ends. There is a natural antagonism which exists between us and is is obvious. Generally, I dislike working around them so much that I don't bother engaging them. It's when I disengage the problem arises so what is the solution. Should I allow an individual to relegate my mood and my ability to do business in an environment?
No, but the atmosphere becomes such that it directly affects business. Remove me from the equation and hope that there is an environment shift. Hence, thus is born a job hopper. Generally, removing me usually doesn't change things too much. The real issue continues to lie there. You have the wrong people doing the wrong jobs and they are so scared to be found out they keep up un-necessary drama. They act childish, unprofessional and rude. They do not know how to communicate and they brood in the corner til they are asked to be in the spotlight and they make a bad situation worse.
Take pride in yourself. Companies are in trouble because the solution is not to get rid of the squeaky wheel but rather oil it and make use of quality product vs utilizing imitations. For 20 years, I kept my mouth shut and did what was expected of me. I worked to make money for the company, sell a product and stay away from the drama. I always took pride in my work and continued to produce no matter the circumstance.
Why do I say all of this now, on a blog you ask? I say it cause I never realized how the lifestyle and the work I did had major effects on me. For over 20 years, I ran on adrenaline. I was moving. I was producing. I was "on". I never took vacations and I never really relaxed. I just kept going and going and going. I look back now knowing I was not supposed to have kept going back. At least not being quiet. I needed to be more vocal and less compliant to negativity. I should have required change.
So I wish I had the opportunity to change my behavior that caused so much alienation to exist in my name and I hope that people change their behavior as well.
I think socializational activities are great ice breakers cause they break things down. Resistance exposed...
I am going to be posting some very special information on this blog soon!
Stay tuned!
