After speaking to one young brutha about his experiences from the working environment the other day I came up with a great ideal ( o.k., it was his ideal but this is my blog!), which was to have him give me a glimpse into his mind so I could share it with my peoples. I know many people enjoyed the movie horrible bosses, guess who? and many others and no doubt realized one thing........we can identify with them? I invite you to read the following thoughts of my brutha.........
I’ve had enough…
In the 28 years that God has
allowed me to walk this blue marble we lovingly call Earth, I have had some good experiences and some bad ones…
One bad one that
continues to plague me in my adult years is that of a bad boss…
We all have been
there and I am sure that some of you that may be reading this can fall into
that category. Now don’t get me wrong I am by no means stating that I am
perfect by any stretch, but I feel that there strong skill sets lacking in
today’s manager that must be addressed… Ya wonna hear it? Well here it goes!
1. Time put in at a particular workplace does
not qualify someone as “good boss”
a. Someone who has been at the same place of
employment for 20+ years does not mean that they are management material.
i.
Ever
think that they may be in that particular job for a reason? Chances are that
particular employee has looked for other job opportunities, but have been
looked over for whatever reason. I agree in rewarding time put in, but there
has to be another way other than promotion.
TIME Rendered DOES NOT mean
PROMOTE
2. Education is" not" the only way to
distinguish people of merit and those without.
a. Plenty of educated people make for bad
management.
i.
George Bush 1 & 2…Need I say more
3. Is that boo boo on your nose or are you
just a kiss @$$?
a. I mean yes, it is a great idea to become
social with your boss and maybe take them to lunch to show them appreciation,
but dang ratting out other employees…
i.
Do
you really think you will be a good boss by becoming a rat or spy? You better
off crawling under the desk and getting it that way…Ooooppss took it a little 2
far
All in all way 2 many
people are being promoted into management and they leave us the hard working
employee to suffer from the misguided principals of what it takes to be a BOSS…Year
after year and bad boss after bad boss I have come to the conclusion that
I’VE HAD ENOUGH
B-
*The views expressed are not necessarily those of "I am Ward" but greatly appreciated! In fact I personally feel that sometimes we have to learn the game, control what we can control and seek the kingdom 1st and let the rest work it self out! I understand how some people can and do, rub us the wrong way at times, but I encourage all to be better than what we have experienced and let bad bosses be inspirational 4 us to be better!
I am Ward......
