FAMILY AND BUSINESS
Aren’t you tired of nepotism or favoritism at work with family and friends of managment? What has always been interesting to me is that we go through the interview process to see if we “MEET” the qualifications of the company for which we are being considered; however, does anyone really get to use his/her talents in the work environment.
We turn around and there is someone, who is naturally your boss, with no qualifications who would never be hired; however, he/she is here.
What’s going on? Guess What – Family and Friends. Is it any wonder that businesses today and in the past have lost their credibility because the good employees kept leaving because of the working environment. Management always seems to know when one really NEEDS the job and who is willing to put up with just about anything to keep the paycheck coming. Is it any wonder that most Americans do not like their job? The business may do OK but does it live up to its potential.
Sometimes I have always wanted a company to post at the front doors that this is a company that HIRES AND PROMOTES FAMILY and FRIENDS; and, oh, by the way, you are welcome to apply.
There is discouragement in the workplace and you either live with it or you move on to another company. There is hope in today’s economy that this is changing, as money is tight and people are truly ACCOUNTABLE for their work performance, thus promoting a great environment for growth. They say that the days are gone for the 25 year employee. I do not believe this to be true. Wake up and realize that we are all equal and deserve a fair chance. Who is management accountable to in this scenario?
There is a great country song entitled “I never promised you a rose garden.” NO KIDDING.
I have walked off several jobs and also been fired several times for not sticking with it or bad decisions on my part which led to my departure. It took years in some cases to revive my career and I even had a very well known person in the industry say to me, ” I thought you were dead.” Have you ever felt like a million dollars?????!!!!!!
Colossians 3:23…Whatever your task, put yourselves into it….
Do you place equal emphasis on all work to be done or show partiality and look the other way when family or acquaintances are in the picture?
That, my friends, is another discussion.
