Stalking "at work" update:
1) the teenage drama/mentality/work ethic continues to sink in its own degradation.
2) policies/directives/procedures continue to be basically be ignored.
3) this attitude now slowly infiltrates into the newer staff as they come on board.
The Two Feathers growing response to this scenario;
1) He counts the months (now 47) 'til his retirement and "looks the other way".
2) And how do I reconcile my own "old school ethics" concerns with this?
I recapitulte my own work history and growth and just keep setting my own example by doing my finest work with an authentic smile and helping hand. It's called attitude, my Friends. It's called adjustment to inevitable change.
This I call self-stalking. Isn't THAT what stalking is all about, anyway!??
But I ask you all for your honesty here. Is this a cop-out on the Two Feathers' part?
Should he shake the place up and expose the mess, and then have a bunch of team members all pissed off about something they don't understand in the first place?
Am I rationalizing this all away? Or have I grown in my acceptance of "reality"? At MY age, am I saying, "Ha, let them make their own damn mistakes! I ain't the boss." ?
i.e., I had to learn to be a good team-player and very successful manager by making my own mistakes again and again until my own set of ethics came to the forefront. I had to teach myself to be what I was when I suddenly realized that this "change" would take the power from me.
Self-stalking, at work and anywhere, is getting up in the front seat of lifes big wagon, grabbing the reigns, snapping them smartly and shouting "Gitty-up, Hank!" as I hit the road to freedom.
