Company vs. employee

I don't know about u, but i'm starting to get a bad taste of the lately business ways.

In the run for money 99% of the companies (and leaders) tend to ignore growing problems, until they come back to bite them ... Now, i'm not an expert but then again, as long as you run a company and you have a hadfull of people (the bigger companies usually hired some poeple to handle the small people they employ :D) it's easier to get the people to work together and involve themselves as long as there is someone up there that tries to keep up and sometimes listen to them. Also as long as there is a team don't ever use the "divide and conquer" in the said team. Use them as a whole and not individuals. If you do the said strategy the result will be disaster. They will not work as a team (because you implied by the method that they are not), and for your company this won't work well in the long run. Then again 1 person cannot keep and eye on all places ( even if he has eyes of the mother-in-law he won't be able to control everything), so you need head-teams. Is hard to let go a bit of the power but think as a challenge: the person you give a bit of it thinks he is going somewhere in your company (even if that is not true :D), and you get an eye on that level (btw the "new team-leader"  should be someone who not only spyes for you but also can actually bring something  - like to stand up for his team with no fear that he will get fired for that. Open-mindedness and cunningness for a manager is the key of success.

It seems that in the lasts 3-4 years, managers have developed a strange mentality ( i say strange, because if u ask me the biggest mistake a manager can do is to say to someone who dares to question his decision (and i'm talking about decisions that involves the said idiot that dared to question)," don't like it, bring your resignation".
Bad move most of the times, because that person will likely give it to you next day (or same day if he/she has the time) and then you (as manager) will have a gap in the personnel and if there is no one that can replace it and untill you teach someone else to do his/her job you will loose : Time, Money and Nerves :) (plus the new person will probably stay for 2-3 months until he gets a wind of the things and then he will leave, and again you will go back to square 1).

Besides the questioning of decisions, most of the time (99,99999...% ) the employs will never do "free jobs" just because you ask them (  if they don't expect something at the end) especially if it involves overtime hours. Rilly now, would you as a manager do overtime for free just because your boss said it (if u have a boss) and you wouldn't expect something for it?  I think not!

So, the company wants more "money" (with less pay on people) which translates to the employee as "more hours worked +  stress ".  In the long run this results to: people leaving the company => company looses money with the coaching of new employees. And the circle begins anew!

In Romania most of the small/medium companies don't even think of coaching/leaderships or brain-storming. There is a director/manager that cuts, hangs and makes decisions and the employees have to say "yes sir".


Right or wrong there will come a time, when these types of "companies" will get a nice Kick in the back part. When that time comes i will be in the front seat with popcorn in my hands!
