You are on your way
out of town and feel confident that this
person is right for the job. As you walk
out of the door, your skill worker is
setting and waiting. This is the time for
them to strike. Every job that they have
held they have always caused office
conflict. You were so impressed with the
skill level that you did not even bother to
check references. They begin to watch other
employees and observe what is going on.
What is there job assignment, after all the
new worker can do it much faster and
better.
Office
talk; yes that what we like to do when the
boss is out of the office. Talk about
wages, and how we are overworked and
underpaid. This is good just what they
wanted. The picture perfect new employee
takes time to let the other employees know
who is who. Also letting them know that
they are working to hard. After all they
are not getting paid for all of that work.
A seed of discouragement is planted in the
minds of the employees. While the boss is
out of the office things that were built is
now being torn down.
It
doesn’t take long to tare down. Just get
the right person with the right tools. You
return to your office and notice that this
isn’t the same office you left. People that
would stand and talk to you are now walking
by you and barely speaking. You are
wondering in your mind what is wrong. You
can’t put your finger on it but you know
something has change.
You give a worker an
assignment and it just sit in the tray.
You go back to your office and the secretary
is smiling and typing away. Any thing you
give, ready! You are concern about your
workers; they have been with you for years,
worked well together, something is wrong.
You leave for another business trip out of
town. You begin to think; maybe they don’t
like the new person? What is it?
Its time
to strike again. This time Picture
perfect tell the other workers where
they can go and get a job. Mind you she
just got there. And oh yea, this place even
have benefits. You get three weeks vacation
instead of one. The recommendations are
outstanding.
You
return back to your office, this time it is
worse. People are not reporting to work,
they are staying at home and your deadlines
are not being met. Work that you gave the
employee before you left are still sitting
right where they sat it down when you gave
it to them. You question why the work was
not done and you get an attitude. What is
going on, something is wrong.
Picture
perfect
still sits there and continue to be highly
skill. Well you think to yourself, at lease
one of the offices is up and running
smoothly. This is a good worker you
continue to praise in your mind. This
person does not even do much talking, so you
thought. What is wrong with this picture?
Was this not the right person to hire?
After all the skills were great! Well
dress; had all the right things to say.
Because
someone new comes in to work for an
organization and seem as though they have
all of the right skills, should they be
placed over people who have worked in the
same position and classification for you for
years? Sometimes new people can cause
hardship in offices if they are placed over
the hard worker and dedicated employee
without first giving the person who has been
loyal to the task a chance to be proven.
Which one is important; people skills or
work Ethics? I declare both!
