Have you ever watched someone get totally out of control at a party, drunk off their rear-end and when you mentioned something to them they say something; Work Hard Play Hard I Always Say? Yet, when you saw them at the office they were already playing. I had one Regional Manager who just loved to horse around and that is all well and good, he would joke around and tease. No real harm in that right? Sure enough a little humor is indeed great for the work place as it breaks up the sometimes stress from deadlines, crisis management and self-induced goals and objectives. Sounds okay right? And what someone does on their own personal time well pretty much that is out of bounds from comment as is it really my business what happens? Well indeed all these are thoughts to consider. However, when this gentleman; Mr. Putting Green in the Office, said to me; Work Hard Play Hard, well I just thought to myself that he never works hard and he is always behind and others are constantly fixing his mistakes and covering for him. Why, well Stanley is a nice guy that is why and he has been kidding around, as personality his whole life and weaseling his way into good pay situations, management and now I am stuck with him. Well guess who was the first to go when one of our master franchises bought out a large regional area and we re-assigned territories to our regional managers? You guessed Mr. Screw Off All Day, Never Work Hard and make excuses for being drunk and carrying on at company parties. See Ya, who needs Ya. Consider this in 2006. |
