The Office

Aloha,

Once in a while I like to take a mental hiatus simply because it allows me to go places I may never go to or do things I have only dreamt of doing at a certain age.Its while on these mental vacations that I stop to take stock of things around me.The people around me,what makes them tick or not.What makes some of them seem like they know where they are going and others like yours truly completely oblivious of such tiring thoughts?

Just this afternoon,I had the unenviable opportunity to watch how yet another power relationship is played out.
So may be we all have had bosses at some point in our lives and we all know someone just hacked into my computer so I can't be held accountable for this.

But my observation has me thinking.What makes a good employee?

Is it showing your Boss that he/she is the only one who has the cojones(women who hold such positions got the cojones too) and you are always at his/her beck and call for this,that and  God knows what else,or is it showing him/her that you might work under him but you got a spine of your own and he/she has to recogonise that or your relationship will be as short-lived as Lady Gagas' hairdo's.

I am not sure if I have the right answer to that but at the end of the day,I am always reminded of Robert Greene's statement,paraphrased as below.

Our prime objective in life MUST be and SHOULD always be to possess ownership and control over that which puts food on our table.

Even the highest paid minion can not dictate the very terms by which he/she can operate.


While still on my hiatus,I took a photo of how things would look like if I followed my own advice.

True Ownership wldn't be exciting without a few people to watch you.
