You vs. The Corporation
If you’re like me, you’re sick of corporate America! I have a really hard time with unrealistic expectations put on people. Here’s an example.
A person I know is a manager for a smaller entity of a very large corporation. He is allotted only so many hours to schedule his employees. He is a man down, meaning he is one employee shy to run the business properly. He’s not allowed to pay any overtime to his people & he himself is not allowed to work more than 48 hours per week. There is a hiring/wage freeze. The place is allowed only one employee at a time, who is responsible for keeping the inside up as well as the outside, the restroom too, which is accessible only from the outside, as well as stay on the register to care for the customers. Might I add, there are lots of customers since the place is very busy with not much “down time”. The secret shopper shows up during the busy time and is expecting a picture perfect environment. A percentage of the score is lowered for EVERY infraction and don’t think for a moment that the manager’s boss isn’t all over him for every one of them. Corporate institutions make more and more impossible expectations from their “people”. Those who “do” meet all the criterion are either lying on their reports or breaking some company policies. It’s impossible to meet the expectations and not! I think you get the picture. It may even sound familiar.
Can anyone wonder why there are so many stress related illnesses when most folks work this way? …when the bottom line is MORE important than those who are actually doing the work and creating profits?…when the worker is constantly in fear of loosing his job for no real reason other than getting someone else to the same job for less pay? I have worked for companies where they wanted higher turnover so they wouldn’t have to increase wages for loyal employees. It was actually cheaper in the quick fix, to constantly train new people.
I would much rather work for myself, take responsibility for my own actions (or inactions), be responsible only to me and those I choose to. If I’m going to have stress, I’d rather it be self imposed instead of have it imposed upon me.
After a couple of years of learning, experimenting, testing, I now make a living online. Even during my learning days when hardly any income was flowing my way,, I felt so much better about my life. I was creating my own reality, not allowing someone else the power over me. I developed respect for myself and others who do not fit into the expected, working a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke). Don’t get me wrong, I work, and sometimes long hours, but it’s something I create, enjoy and desire to share the new found freedom.
What do I do? I teach people how to make money apart from having a job. I teach how to make money with your own business. It doesn’t matter what that business is or if there is no business yet.
Sound interesting? Check out this video my friend Frank made. He explains it all very well.
