Work moral


At work something happened that made me think about writing this post
2 months earlier a colleague left work and another one was hired to fill her place
since day 1, all the rest of staff agreed on one thing
she's a very difficult person to deal with
it was a personal opinions not related to work
no one was happy doing the smallest conversation with her
bit by bit, her work attitudes turned to be the worst ever seen
doesn't want to help anyone, answering to the superior and other with tone full of IMPUDENCE
her first and always answer to anyone is: why me? it's not in my job description or I'm not going to do IT
no one was actually judge her work or her efficiency, it was all about personal stuff

yesterday talking with one of the staff (a real good decent person), she raised her voice and things turned to be a fight
each went to the chairman office and he took a decision in a millisecond
"I'll let her go today"
and he did

in less then an hour, all the staff were working on how to replace her
downloading CVs and calling people to set interviews before even she left the office

the moral is when you are bad in dealing with your colleagues, no one will give you a second chance. people will be happy to let you go.
the thing that keeps pumping up in my mind is that i was her superior and i was the only one who judge her work, and i didn't share this with all the rest, only with my superior
but all the rest of the staff judge her personality only and they were all agreed that she has to go
most of all the chairman who didn't took much time to take his decision, in fact he already made his decision before she entered his office
and for him the problem wasn't about the level of efficiency but the bad communication and cooperation between her and the rest

build strong work connections with your colleagues and be ready to help when you can if you can, because that's how you earn stocks in the market of your company

good communication,good personality is a serious work evaluation parametere.
it's the highest level in our interview chain, and the first 2 parameteres on our evaluation process...

so u can be very good @ your job, but annoying to work with. this is a serious issue, because u can be effecient and every one else would hate to work with you..
