Anyone can tell you that your workplace is your second life and you must adapt and accept where the company is standing. I have been through many jobs as you can see from my past posts. A new method on workplace is challenging everywhere I go. A person can move forward and build again. A person can change their approach at their new job.
Here are some paths a workplace we can go: A person can become a nobody. A person can become successful. A person can be the prince or princess of the company. A person can be narrow minded. A person can be social butterfly. A person can be the talk of the town. A person can be normal and just following the rules. A person can just ignore everyone. A person can be weird and act out. A person can be in moderation. A person can be the "I know." A person can be "I am a big shot, and I know everything, so don't tell me." As you can see; there, are many paths they can take. These are prime examples what I have seen and adapted towards. A person can be anyone who they choose to be, but it will fail against them in the end. You need to find your perfect harmony.
No matter where you go. It all falls under the direct person themselves. Richard Branson always give many quotes in his speeches and tours. Here is an example: "Train people well enough so they can leave, but treat them well enough, so they don't want to." This is how a workplace should be contentiously.
Over sometime, I worked for many great corporations, and small businesses to move up in the world. I have been working at two companies for almost five years before I changed my first income job to be closer to the second job. I broke my relationship causing a downwards turn on my success. I assumed by moving closer. I would build a better future, for a small company I use to work for, and that was bought out by another bigger company in the same money value. It was similar to my other company before switching, so I would not see a difference. Now, as soon as I came to the new company. The culture and atmosphere changed due to language. My last job people were speaking english and no other languages. My new change of job closer to home the culture was speaking their own home language.
I find that every fuckening workplace always, and always keep the same approach no matter where I go. People always have their clicks and speak their own language. After almost a year in the company before I got laid off.
I took a break. Thinking long and hard where to go next. As the cultures will never change. Do I go self employed, do I invest into commercial business, do I buy franchises, do I tour the world, do I work shitty jobs, do I milk my moods, do I have a good old time, do I express my love, do i volunteer, do I join the army/armed forces....a lot of factors were popping up.
After months have pasted, I joined a huge company taking the market by storm. I thought I would found a nice home and growth. I spent almost a year there and then the culture switch happened. I found that people will not back you up, and push you to the bone. Overall, the experience told me that I will not make it to the level of fast paced environment. I am a straight thinker, and work fast on the go and on the spot.
After close to a year, things changed and people leave due to the workplace culture. I took an opportunity and screwed up. I was gone to the west coast to help and train people. Turns out people who are not from Canada have different cultures and lifestyles. If a person is too friendly might as well report their behavior. I considered that to be unfair and unethical. If they truly knew the person and understand that they want people around them. Then they should confront them and work with them to make things better. Workplace culture I find fucked up. They tend to change a person. A person will show negativity, show gratitude, humble, being there for people, helping others, and back stabbing them hard and unnoticeable.
How does a person act around a workplace? Has anyone create a proper manual or teach people in school how to act? Everyone says, people learn from their mistakes. Well, I say fuck that saying. I will say this "Learn by doing, and expressing yourself." People should have a class on how to act in a workplace. Over my years, there was not once ethical course about how to act while at work. No one teaches this crap. Like believe me, you will learn while at work. A fresh mind with no work ethic or experience will pick up bad habits from people.
Currently, I found a freaking great company that is a good size and has good years on it. This company has freedom, but not freedom for people who has been their long. Like I work with people that have the same workplace ethics as my past workplace. No one will every change.
When can a person change? The only people that can make it are people who work not hard, but smart. Currently, people just work day-to-day to pay their bills. Most people enjoy their work, and people at work. Like, having a high turnaround doesn't mean to slack off.
People in this workplace have good work ethic, but they tend to not change their professional approach to make sure not to create more trouble, for other people.
If I ever meet my business icons in my life. I would literally go on my knee and beg for them to sponsor me to speak to every workplace on ethics and how to act.
I bet all the millionaires and billionaires doesn't even know that their company is dying from workplace everyday. They just care about their dollar numbers or valuation of company. If they randomly show up at their empire. I bet they would cry in their sleep and see that their company values have died.
The one thing I can say if I had a choice in the matter. I would really fucken tell people off and just walk away. Hoping they realized that their approach to workplace is not correct and they should be more smart about how they communicate. Problems may occur if I tell them off, but it will change in the long term. If I point out the mistakes then I would like to see ambition in habit and we can enjoy our workplace better.
Mistakes happen, but if you do not show it or speak up. It will be like putting your finger in a electrical socket knowing that you will get shocked.
My story is this, help those in need and not those in feed.
Thanks,
Mistry
I try to be the talk of the town in my office! :-)
