Mamma Mia Review By Me:

Pierce Brosnan can't sing... seriously...

If I Ran A Business (and other things):

1. I would not ask my employees to do anything I wouldn't do or vise versa.

Meaning:

a. If I can't come into work and be god damn pleasant instead of a grumpy shit, I will not yell at or treat my employees like shit when they come in less than god damn pleasant too.

b. If I throw things around or goof off, I will not yell at an employee for doing the same thing.

c. I am the higher up. How I act and present myself is the exact example of how my employees should act and present themselves.

2. I will anti the favoritism.

Meaning:

a. If Jen is fired for one thing, but Jill does the same exact thing, and they are both the same type of worker, I will also fire Jill. I will not condone the same behavior from one but not the other simply based off who I like more.

b. If Jen and Jill come into work like grumpy shits I will not yell at Jen and not Jill just because I personally feel like Jill has a legit reason. You go to work to do your job. It's not social hour or a psychiatrists office. Suck it up and do what you need to. Don't make everyone else that comes to work miserable with you.

c. I will not treat Jack like he is the best worker ever, take his opinion above all others, and then a few months later leave Jack hanging while I repeat that favoritism with Anna.

3. I will not be above the grunt work.

Meaning:

a. If something that those under me normally do needs doing and they don't have time, I can damn well do it. This also applies to the 'I would not ask my employees to do anything I wouldn't do.'

4. I will not assume people can read minds.

Meaning:

a. If I wanted something done a specific way, I would tell whoever is doing it exactly how I want it done. People can not read my mind, I have no right to tell someone to do something without telling them how, and then yell at them for not doing it my way.

5. I will not give all the credit where all the credit is not do.

Meaning:

a. Yes, businesses have branches and those branches are headed by other people that I oversee. However, if one department does really well, I will not congratulate the head of that department, I will congratulate everyone. Yes, the department head keeps the place running and delegates things, however, if the people under them didn't do their job or weren't there, then that department would go to shit. It's a team effort.

6. If one person is disturbing the work flow I will say adios.

Meaning:

a. If Trisha is a slow worker, does not take direction, or a slacker and frustrates everyone by making their jobs harder and stressing them out, Trisha will no longer have a job. Yes, it is everyones job to work together and get everything done and try to make it work with Trisha, however, it is not my dependable employees job to babysit. That is not what I am paying them for.

7. I will not be influenced!

Meaning:

a. So maybe one employee hates another employee, so they continue to tell me all the wrong that employee is doing, I'm not going to let it influence me. Everyone likes to talk smack for some stupid reason. It's my opinion and my personal observation that will decide how things go. I'm not going to give into the talk of those around me regardless of their position, I'm running the show, I need to have my own damn head.

8. I will not forget my important jobs.

Meaning:

a. It is my responsibility to ensure that the environment in which my employees work is a good one. If there are issues that are making it difficult for them, I need to take action. It is not their job to 'deal' with something just because I don't think it's a problem. Obviously it is making things difficult for them, so yeah, it's a god damn problem.

b. Also, on the other hand, I will not get peeved and obsessive over something that does not negatively affect the business or the employees. I'll realize the difference between what's me having a nit picky power trip, and what's truly beneficial of the team.

9. I do not, currently, employ cyborgs.

Meaning:

a. In the end employees are people. I will remember that. I will remember that sometimes things happening in their real lives or even ridiculous feuds amongst the employees can, personally, affect them and therefore their work.

b. Instead of going off the handle when something is done wrong, I will try first to find out what is affecting the performance of my employee. (see also 'I will not be influenced!')

NOW ON TO PEOPLE WITH JOBS!

The bottom line is, and I could fill this blog just on this topic, you go to work... to fucking work. End. Of. Story. You are not paid to gossip. You are not paid to like your co-workers. You are not paid to be anyones friend. You are paid to come in and do your damn job not to your expectations, but the expectations of those that hired you. Yes, you can have fun at work, you can talk and goof off at work, however, you can do it while working. Heartless? Well I go to work because I need money to live. If you're not going to do your job, what the hell are you there for?
