How NOT To Be Horrible

Hi friends,

Today I want to rant about the person who you surround yourself with.

All my life, I've never given much thought about who I spend my time with. I was always the type that just "go with the flow". But as of recent, I've been struggling to be happy because of unnecessary stress at work because of work surroundings. Just like how other people soon realize when they enter the workforce, the person who you report to makes a huge impact in your working life. Considering that you'll be spending a lot of time with your bosses especially if you share the same office floor space.

So as of right now, I don't have the most well-mannered boss in the world. Things might fall out of place really fast if you're the type that take things too personally. And ofcourse, as all bosses in the world would put it, all the confrontation is meant to make you into a better person. 

But throughout my life, I've encountered many horrible bosses. But non is as horrible as my current one. I've been wrapping my head around to find any positive note that I can jot down and take home with but non came to mind. And then it hits me. I've actually learned how not to be horrible. The lesson that I got was not necessarily on how to behave. It's more geared towards how NOT to behave. How not to neglect what your employee feels especially when asked to things that is outside of the job scope. How not to push workloads without a proper incentives. Those are a few things that I could branch out from the main lesson here: How NOT to be horrible like your boss.

At this juncture, I'm trying to build a positive factory within myself. And that process involves trying to look at bad situations from a positive perspective. And if that bad situations are just too gloomy, the next best thing is to create distance from the bearer of bad situation. But now the question that comes to mind is, "What if the bad situation always comes to us?". Well for that I'd say is either be prepared so that the bad situation is at least isn't so severe, or  to plan your exit route. I'm still in the former zone and we'll see how good I've build this positive factory within me.

Thanks friends. Till next time.
