I follow the Golden Rule and treat people the way I'd like to be treated: with respect.Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657394535887928020.post-82950964302356095042010-06-04T14:20:34.528-04:002010-06-04T14:20:34.528-04:00A-f'ing-men.
I grew up being taught that hard...A-f'ing-men.<br /><br />I grew up being taught that hard work is always worthy of respect, that I am no better or worse than anyone else, and that no job is beneath me.<br /><br />Household chores were my job too. No biggie. I spent a summer during college working maintenance at a youth camp. I'm sure you know how much of a mess of a bathroom a couple of kids can make. Now multiply by a hundred and spread it through about thirty bathrooms. It made for some long mornings... but that was the job.<br /><br />Since then, in all my jobs, the *only* bosses who pitched in to help were when I sold cars. Snowy day? We were ALL out there clearing cars, moving cars for plowing, and moving them back. Salesmen, managers, and the owner.<br /><br />Ever since then, my managers haven't had the knowledge to do my job... Just to tell me how I'm doing it wrong. ;-)ZerCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347518441827166007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657394535887928020.post-7673501187916838132010-06-04T12:42:23.674-04:002010-06-04T12:42:23.674-04:00Amen.

And variations on "that's not my job" are an express lane to the unemployment office.<br /><br />Second, when you are the boss and you set an example of pitching in and doing what needs to be done -- even if it's cleaning the toilet while wearing a suit -- your people will be less likely to think you're an [insert pejorative here] and more likely to pitch in themselves.ShortWomanhttp://www.shortwoman.comnoreply@blogger.com
