Okay who’s been there?

You’re at work and there is loads to be done and no one bar yourself seems to be willing, capable or experienced enough to do

the jobs properly?

Why do higher management prefer quantity to quality? Many businesses and employers seem to prefer to have lots of staff that

they can not find the time, the funds or the patience to train or not enough and rely on just a few. The jobs are never done

to a satisfactory standard and inevitably one or two people end up being the one’s that are called on, not just in times of

desperate need but as a, “Well we know we can rely on you. We know you don’t mind so have their workload too.”

Hence the vicious cycle begins.

Vicious because the one’s that are relied on become tired, irritable, stressed, used and abused and then resent the fact that

they do their own job so well.

How can this be?

In an age when people are encouraged to behave professionally and responsibly via money incentives where has the working man

ethic gone?

Maybe the ethic was always quantity not quality, work hard for little reward and you’ll get there in the end.

I’m sorry! I am not a worker who likes to be abused, yes used, my skills, my abilities but respect me for having them.

Neither am I a man. I am a woman who can. And as such I desire equal rights at work and in life in general. I refuse to fight

for equality I bring it.

I’m not interested in quantity I offer quality and through that it brings quantity back.

I say “Wake up and respect.”

If you are an employer then respect the needs of your employees and remember you wouldn’t be where you are today without

them. If you are an employee respect the needs of your employers remember you too wouldn’t be where you are without them.

Why do people go to work merely to socialize? Granted not everyone does but through my own observations and conversations I

notice that jobs are sacred to some and two a penny to others.

Perhaps if people respected their own skills more the world would be in a better state of affairs. If people all over the

world offered each other respect, yes we have different opinions, views and ideas. Good. Some are positive and some are

negative, use them. Build a business, a nation and a world where people get on together. Work as a team we are all in this

together.

It starts off small and it grows. Look after your own needs with respect and dignity and then, somehow this benefits those

you encounter. Work for the love of your job and expect to be paid properly with your rights being properly met like breaks,

days off and holidays.

Learn to say no.

Pressure doesn’t help you grow! Pleasure does

Quantity can be gained through quality. More is often less and the pleasant surprise is the less you do the more healthy you

become.

Find the middle ground. Balance. Work + Life = Pleasure. Replace one for the other and you end up ill. Maybe just stressed

but who knows what the long-term consequence is?

If you offer quality you will change the system, as the system changes it becomes more effective, efficient and prosperous.

Speed it up – mistakes get made, problems occur, health and wealth suffers and the economy starts to fail us all

professionally and personally.

It makes you think. Perhaps that’s the problem people are so busy doing they forget to just be. Stop and think about what you

are doing and why. Everything one person does has an effect on someone or something else in the world.

Maybe it’s time for a change?

Are you one of those people who think Self, Self, Self? Well good for you but maybe not for two.

Spare a thought for others, learn to share. Share your time freely to help someone. Those who give always receive. Don’t just

take there is plenty to go around. The world is abundant in everything we need to all prosper only it’s unfair.

Unfair that people wind up homeless, drunk, addicts, criminals, on the dole, friendless, worthless.

No one is without something they have to offer, however big or small. Appreciate these things next time you bump into someone

and see the quality of your interaction. “Haven’t got time for a chat, call me!”

Not sure it’s safe to smile at a passing stranger then give it a go, see what a smile can do for someone who isn’t happy.

Why don’t the rich share more with the poor?

The rich have plenty, not just, money but time, skills, confidence and appear to take more from the poor instead of give

freely back to them so they too can become rich as them. One day if this works then everyone will have quantity and quality.

Bosses will stop putting pressure and unreasonable demands upon their team of colleagues that are paid less and run fast.

Employees will stop taking liberties and work when they turn up to work instead of chatting and slacking. Those who have

always put in the time and effort will feel like they are on a permanent holiday compared to the past because the workload

will be shared. No one person will be overwhelmed, kept late or under or overpaid.

Offer yourself quality not quantity then it will begin.

“Win win”
That’s what I say

How do you know if you really are rich?
I’ll let you figure that one out.
