Years ago, when I worked for a large firm, I would do my day’s work and then go home. If work-problems appeared, the boss would delegate people to look after things. Most times, a little overtime, and putting heads together, solved everything. We were a contented bunch of people, happy with our pay and happy with our home-life.
It seems today, a lot of people’s work and home-life are intertwined. Pressure is applied to get more work into each day than time allows, so stress escalates and shoddy work is usually the result. An unhappy worker cannot produce a good day’s work.
A lot of honesty is needed, both from employers and employees. If a boss is under pressure to produce bigger and better profits; or if an employee is over-ambitious, then stress will be the result, and work results will suffer.
The solution? Seems silly to even have to say it, yet I believe FAITH is the answer. We, each one of us, have a BOSS whose wisdom will inspire us to always come up with a WIN/WIN solution. We may not earn enough for that smashing new car, or exotic holiday, yet we will be happy people. Our contentment will grow and we will learn again to enjoy the simple things of life.
