Folks post on Facebook sayings about being true to one's self and saying what one means, not letting others tell one what to do, etc.
How I wish that this were as easy to do as it is to say (or post on FB).
I have been working for someone else for over 40 years and know that saying what I feel will get me in trouble every time because it has happened more then once!
Most bosses don't really want to know your opinions, thoughts or in some cases your ideas. They want you to go along with what they want, buy into it without question and do what they say. Some bosses don't even care if you have the training, experience or expertise in your field. They don't really value you. If you do express an opinion independent of what they believe, watch out because you will end up on their list! Not where you want to be at all!
If you are hard worker, honest and loyal to the organization, if you question authority, better watch out!
Remember that bumper sticker, "Question Authority."
ReplyDeleteIf you are like George, counting the days to retirement, don't question authority. I don't' care any more. Makes me a happy me.
I hope to get to the don't care stage but unfortunately since I have to work until I'm at least 66, I do care.
