Poem
So on jobs, it’s nice and rewarding to be recognized and commended for your outstanding work performance. However, even though you are one of their greatest assets, there still are times when many managers and bosses tend to overlook the greatness and value you bring to the company. You are super extraordinary, you go above and beyond, you never miss a day, you always on time, your work ethic is top tier… You strive hard to seek that praise, acknowledgment and award. And because you stand out above others, you finally, yes finally get the recognition you so deserve. But over the last 10 years or so, it’s amazing how I have noticed how managers don’t acknowledge the exceptional workers anymore. The ones that help their shift flow smoothly. They see them and their work ethics and they are glad that worker came to work that day, but that’s it. No “thank you,” no “good job,” no I appreciate you, no nothing. And as far as appreciation, it has gotten so bad from management, so much so, that they tend to point out a customer’s complaint, more so than the customer’s compliment. The compliment seems to fall on deaf ears and somehow you never hear about it. But get one complaint and it’s immediately brought to your attention. They will send for you, call you to the office, or quickly find you themselves and come to you to tell you about what the “customer” said. They be ready to write you up, send you home, hell, damn near be ready to fire you. Which leads me to the title of this poem. Now as much as it is an honor to become the employee of the month, employee of the week, or even employee of the year, rarely, if any, is it recognized anymore. With that being said, I can see now that because of the lack of appreciation, and no team building initiatives in place, the performance of the workers have dropped tremendously. No appreciation, no motivation. And because of that, you now have employees that are not excited, they don’t put forth much effort, no enthusiasm, half are lazy, not productive and with this younger generation, you can pretty much forget it. I’m not saying every young person, but a lot of them don’t know what taking the initiative is, or doing something without being told. They go to the bathroom 9 times a day to do TikTok videos, take selfies, see what’s up on Instagram… so much so, that they are not a bit bothered about providing great customer service. Hell, I don’t even know if they know what customer service is. There is this saying, “Good help is hard to find.” So with some companies, they are just lucky to have workers, even if they are lazy and non productive, at least we got a full staff. But let’s be honest, every job has an employee or even employees that are considered the weakest link. They take No initiative, is not a team player, they lack momentum, shows no leadership abilities, does the bare minimum, gripe and complain… yet somehow, they never get no limelight or no recognition when they too stand out. So why not, why not acknowledge them? Yes, it’s time they get the acknowledgment they so deserve. So because of their weaknesses, let’s give them their due diligence and nominate them as the “Employee of the Weak.” So tell me, do you know anybody on your job you would consider as Employee of the Weak? lol
