How to find inner peace in the work environment.
In today's business world, we often spend too much emotional energy on work relationships. We get irritated by careless colleagues, worry about missed deadlines, and take responsibility for the success of the entire company. But are these experiences worth our peace of mind, informs Ukr.Media.
Neutral attitude towards colleagues
I used to often get annoyed by my colleagues. Those who work poorly and cause joint tasks to be of poor quality, those who constantly miss deadlines, those who provoke conflicts, etc. Now I've reached a point where I practically don't care.
Maybe in a very small business, one bad employee can do damage. Honestly, I don't know anything about microbusinesses and family businesses, I haven't worked in one.
In more or less large companies, everything is much more stable. One customer refused - the sales department found a new one. I don't root for the business with all my heart, because no soul will be enough. I believe that the resource is the company, not the person. I give the right to treat work coolly to myself and my colleagues. And recently I have been calmly treating those who work carelessly, even in my own tasks. I don't expect extraordinary efforts from my colleagues. I have a normal attitude towards the fact that people are more busy with their personal lives than serving the company. And to the fact that people in general are lazy and like to do work with minimal effort.
So far, I haven't noticed any harm from this installation, and there are many benefits.
Three "no"s
Don't overexert yourself, don't refuse sick leave, and don't work on vacation.
Once upon a time, I had a really bad job, stressful and difficult. The employees there were treated like cheap household appliances. After I left, I got a job in a much better place with a much higher salary.
And there my boss taught me that sick leave and vacations are normal, that serious work doesn't start on Friday at 17:30 PM. That if you have to perform some tasks in a time crunch, then it's a problem with the organization of processes. And the process needs to be changed, not adjusted.
At any job, I think I've already been fired.
I consciously stopped getting attached to my job, planning a long working life in one place. And even without planning to quit, I live in advance the thought that I will be fired someday (no matter on what grounds).
A place where hysterical love and devotion to the company were cultivated, almost at the level of a cult, I also had one. They didn't sing hymns, and thank goodness for that. But a quiet and insidious treatment took place there every day. The essence of the treatment was that being fired from there was the worst thing that could happen to you, that there was a line of fired people waiting at the fence, dreaming of returning, etc.
And nothing: I quit, I'm not standing by the fence, I've been working somewhere else for a long time.
Since then, I've started to accustom myself to the fact that jobs come and go in our lives. There are no unique places. Sooner or later you'll leave there. No one will remember you, your projects, and your hard work.
