So.....this is my first...official blog post!! You will all have to forgive the rather basic layout of my blog page at the moment.....am quite new to this.
Weird doing this..... A friend recently suggested why not doing a blog....so here goes. Now what to say!!!?? Gonna bitch about politeness....or lack of, especially when it comes to the business world. Recently, after two years as a contractor on a project.....I was told out of the blue that I was no longer needed.....by email! I understand that business is cruel.....that the aim of business is to make money and not care really at all about the common man....but does that mean one should forego professional courtesy? To work and be the slave to a project for two years....to do all that is asked of you.....to be flexible, polite and even agree to tasks that you do not agree with....is it correct that one should be dismissed with the footnote....."things are more stable now so we no longer need you!" It really does make one feel used.....and makes me wonder should I approach this differently, be less naive and realise that in business, the only important factor is to look out for yourself....that being 100% loyal no longer is an advised strategy as one never get's back from your job anymore, what you put into it. Survival tactics in the business world seem to be evolving yet again.....time to catch up....
Yes, agree totally. Look after yourself, nobody else will. No matter how much you want to think they care, remember, they don't. Never, ever rely on somebody else. Sad but true.
