Importannce of Love

Hi there,

I was trying to think of what my first blog of 2018 would be. I thought of many different business events or meetings I could write about or weddings. Who doesn't love hearing or reading about a wedding. Instead I will have it be about Valentine Day. Why this year? The is the year we all eight or is it spelled ate. I'm never quite sure. The year is 2018 get my humor?

Valentine:

Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14. Wikipedia

Why is it that we express our love for one another from the time we are children with cards and candy to adulthood with chocolate and flowers?

Now that we know the history. One can enjoy the commercialized part of all of this. Does one really have to give Valentine gift? The answer depends on many things. The relationship between people. The define relationship defines the appropriateness of the actions.

Happy Valentines Day!

As we grow older or intentions for each other changes. The exchange of gifts or cards no longer have the innocence of that child like quality. Therefore, since one doesn't want to be misunderstood one needs to follow the rules. Here are some safety rules.

1. Verify if the workplace acknowledges the holiday. Which holidays? Is it every year or just certain years they acknowledge it?

2. Find out what is appropriate. Can you give your secretary / co-workers a card, flowers or chocolates? Will it be misunderstanding? 

3. The truth is in life we are all held accountable with our actions towards each other. What is friendship to one might be misunderstood as romance to another. What one thinks is a way of advancement in the workplace might be considered a workplace assault / sex advancement.

4. Like children workplace needs rules. It is important to understand and respect people's boundaries and limits. In the workplace and with co-workers. There are very strong laws written about appropriate behavior in the workplace. It is appropriate for the executives to send out a notice with what appropriate behavior is on this day. Also any other holiday.  The companies HR (Human Resources) department should have given you and had you sign a book with the company policy and rules. Therefore, just follow the rules. If you don't your personally responsible.

Fortunately, I have been blessed throughout my life in working for employers that believed in any excuse to acknowledge holidays. Therefore, it was always acceptable to show fellow workers that one appreciates them for who they are.

Depending on the holiday employees  would purchase small gifts for one another,(usually things we could use at workplace; food exchanges, card with a positive thought exchange. Sometimes just a candy. It was accepted and welcomed. Not all workplaces are the same. Therefore, make sure you understand yours.

Knowing Your Playing Field

Hi there, Reader;

Have you ever been awaken in the middle of the night with everyone problems from work? The person is doing this person, Betty is having money issues, and Sally has teens who are giving her problems, Art is just looking up all the girls dresses. And your worried you'll be unemployed. (Read Unemployment Blog), why because you know your boss is cheating on his wife. You and her are good friends you want to tell her but you can't. What do you do?

The truth is there is no easy answer to these questions. However, there are some suggestions I can make from my own personal experience. These are moral and judgements question. Depending on how conservative you are, will determine how you will react.

1. Know for yourself, where you stand on personal issues of others. Do you believe in gossips? Do you gossip? Do you listen to gossip? What is your responsibility in the gossip chain?

2. It's a fine line between showing some one you care and taking on their personal problems. Know where you stand.


3. There is no easy answers for the woman who know the executive is having an affair. If you tell someone then your out. If you keep it to yourself at work then your more than likely to be respected. If your the one in the affair, then get out. Either way, when others find out it won't be worth staying. The truth is many of us search for other employment at that point. One has to judge for oneself.

4. Looking at the photograph above What do you see? Is every Flower beautiful? What does each one do? Are they all equal? It's like the workplace each person has different abilities, strengths, weekeness, powers, abilities. In this mess of people the employees responsibility is to a.) The business paying your paycheck?
b.) To yourself?

In conclusion, I always see the workplace as a place where your loyalty will be tested. Are you the type of person who will stick with their job in the days ahead even in trouble times or will you choose yourself. I always found in choosing myself I was able to be true th the company or corporation.
