Anna, your attitude!
Interesting thing attitude.. ever met an employee with a bad one? ever wonder why a company would hire someone with such a bad attitude?
WEll, the answer, short and sweet, is companies don't hire people with crappy attitudes.. they hire bright, outgoing, hardworking people.. and somehow over time, these people become lazy, sullen, and nasty.
a lot of them end up hating their jobs.. How did it happen?
how did they get an attitude? (how did you get yours Anna, or i mine?)
easy enough. take employee and treat them unfairly. make promises (and don't keep them) reward the lazy, punish the hard worker, be critical of the helpful employee.--eventually the hard worker learns laziness is rewarded, and becomes lazy, and good ideas are treated with contempt, and helpful behavior is not wanted or desired, and learns to cut it out. POOR MANAGEMENT CREATES a POOR ATTITUDE.
in social situation, (school, or clubs or whatnot) how do these organization live or die? --why do active clubs and organization last for years and then peter out and die? same way.
an organization exist with active members, who over time have reached a general consenous on behavior and norms.
things change, at members move in and out of the organization at will. games evolve, (and continue or die out) based on nothing but skill and interest.
THEN one person 'appoints' them self as a special. No reason, they just deside, I am special, everyone take note
it falls to 'reason' everything this person says should be treated with special honor.. when that doesn't happen, the appointed one complains about the clic--who disregard all 'GOOD' suggestions..(that is all his suggestions) the un-reasonable ones who are preventing things from being 'better'. he doesn't particapate in the games, (well not every one does) AND HE COMPLAINS THAT OTHERS DO!
the appointed one filabusters, and repeats all the good suggestions again and again, (In case we missed them the first time) and then details (oh my the detail!) all the benefits of his suggestions. (and loudly and repeated cries foul when his suggestions are not immediatly put into practice.)
as time passes, and they are still not adapted, he starts a letter writing campaign. and suddenly, there are all these other people who join in like a greek choirs to laud his ideas, and press for their adaption.--to bad these letters are all written by him, in praise of him, and sent by him, (under different names).
the result, is others tend to avoid speaking or interacting with the appointed one, -which he then uses as "PROOF" there is a conspiracy against him. --he is sure all his true supporters are being cohersed into complicity--it must be so! what other reason could exist for some many people dislikeing him?)
One by one the original members (the ones who are supposedly blocking all the good members and their good ideas from being implimented) stop being part of the group.
activity comes to a standstill--only one voice is heard.
the appointed one
Now the appointed one takes over and HE speaks in the imperial WE, and acts mystified that everyone doesn't fall at his feet and proclaim him god.
he is truly mystified that he is unliked.. AFTER ALL HE HAS ALL THE GOOD IDEAs (under lock and key)and besides, he has pointed out, how bad all the old members are for the organization.. he has proof positive they were a bad lot; they have ignored his ideas!
and he reigns in over his imaginary kingdom, proud of his success in vanquishing all.. the kindom is empty, all is gone.. success at last, only where are the adorning crowds?
gone.. gone gone..
stand in awe of his wisdom.. (no one there, no one there..)
Of course, HE hasn't driven anyone off.. every one is free to stay (and admire him, and all his handywork) and well if they leave, Oh, too bad..
too bad, max, too bad jheem, too bad now, to annastrophic.
too bad, too bad..TOO BAD ABOUT YOUR POOR ATTITUDE. You are not good for this place, your bad attitude makes that obvious! WHERE EVER DID YOU GET?
