It's about damn time
TJ General's warning: Reading this may be harmful to your health. I'm about to let out some much needed venting and anger. IF pregnant, please do not proceed with this post...So, you ride my ass about not being committed to my job for months on end. You try and get me to quit. You tell me I'm not (insert company name here) material. You tell me you don't know where my head is at. After that doesn't make me blow my brains out like Kurt Cobain, you go out and get tracking software to get some facts about how people are performing and what they're doing all day.
Whoa!? What is this?!?!?! He is actually doing his job and kicking ass at it. What, he's even having fun doing it? This can't be, his department doesn't like him, they think he messes around all the time in other departments, however he's kicking their ass at nearly every aspect of the job! This is a new concept they say, maybe we should re-think the people we're bringing on board.
THEN, you come to me and want me to train all the schmucks you hired based on what would be a good fit for your company. It's like teaching 5 year-old little T how to do my job. If you want people to bust ass and grow your business, you're going to have to hire people on their work ethic, not only if they "fit in" with your company. "Get on the bus, or get off" is what I've been told. It's about time you look at some of the other people and ask them that very same question. Maybe you're scared because if you treat half the people here like you've treated me the last 6 months, they'll break down and start crying. You're eating your words right now aren't you, then you come looking to the guy that you told doesn't fit in here for help. That's a little ass-backwards, isn't it? Look at all the top performers, do they fit the (insert company name) mold? I don't think so, maybe you should re-evaluate and not look to me to turn 4 people that suck, into good, hard workers. It just can't be done. I better be seeing some additional $$$$ in a couple months, maybe even a promotion for putting up with your bullshit?
Ahhhh, and that's that...
