Piss Off Your Hater's With Quality Control

Author Steven Furtick shares an interesting concept about something I've always called "The Invisible Gorilla Of Every Day Living: The saddest part about life are the stories about you that never make it to your ears. Show me someone that isn't stuck on the idea that ALL things spoken behind their back isn't hateful and or untrusting and meant to injure without coming out and saying it. It makes weak people feel empowered to blast out and against someone that might rightfully turn their stomach. What we don't realize is that verbal abuse is no different than a terrorist act on Middle Eastern streets. Murdered are the reasons to further a coworker's willingness to believe. Why should they invest time and energy in a person when rumor has it? That's not what this is about! The saddest part about life are the stories about you that never make it to your ears. Hardly anybody shares the good news spoken in circles of closed door secrecy. I can talk about this next story because it's been openly shared with the person spoken about. Emailing systems suck! It's too easy to tap into the face of a computer then hit send without thinking of damage control. The email explained the importance of using a priceless tool for teams to utilize when building relationships. Attached to the digital message were exceptional reasons for using the valuable tool immediately followed by dollar amounts already raised. I've stood strong in supporting the reasons behind the use of such a tool but fair is fair. I requested the numbers associated with my name and creativity. And to this moment I have heard and seen nothing. We all know what my "real" name is I just can't figure out why nobody at home uses it: Here! I need this now! Just got back from a very important meeting. This project is worth. I know you're busy but. The saddest part about life are the stories about you that never make it to your ears. I already know of the jerk stories! I've already been pulled into meetings dealing with how to stop sending my poetic expressions through emails because as empowering as this truly is...someone is still going to find reason to call me an ass. What I never get to hear is, "Your unique connection with clients does..." This nation continues to fail in the economic sides of success because the "real" workers of small, family owned and operated and corporate structures need a mental boost. A booty call for the ego. Something to look forward to! A reason other than the cost of insurance to allow you to pull from our souls the "real" foundation of success. Guts! Dedication! Loyalty! Determination! Team Spirit...what the "F" is that? Lost in the archives of why your boss still has a job is exactly what author Steven Furtick is talking about: The saddest part about life are the stories about you that never make it to your ears. It sickens me when I see managers standing in corners talking about last night's football game while passion across the counter is being given away by minimum wage employees. I said it, "Given away." The only reason why you're collecting a check is because someone a long time ago put into law a fairness act. There is no fairness in American business in 2012. There is no political candidate running for any office willing to take on the checking accounts supporting their mission to reach a decision makers office. What will happen to America when outsourced job holders decide to press the flesh in a request for more money? Companies haven't been downsized! The ambition set inside your Great Grandfather's soul to put one foot in front of the other no matter how cold or ugly it is...is near its final breath. What are we trained to do? Whatever it takes to keep insurance cards in our pocket while still having to co-pay what little is left to be made. The new American dream shouldn't be, "Thank you God for this job!" It should be, "Thank you God for this family! Friends! The color of Fall in the Carolinas!" The saddest part about life are the stories about you that never make it to your ears. This is not a call to action to impersonate what life used to be. This is the mirrored image of what we all see. Cuz it seems the only people doing the talking are those behind your back. I say give them reasons to hate you because you're brilliant! Give them another excuse to be jealous of your gifts to lead. Give them every opportunity to snub their smug mug at how determined you are at staying true to quality and not quantity. America is not Wal-Mart! We are the worlds specialty store! You come here when your life requires something extraordinary. We used to laugh at Chinese made products. The nations of the planet see our name and the grin is the same. The saddest part about life are the stories about you that never make it to your ears. I will always believe in you first. It'll piss off your circles of haters but always know you have a friend. arroe@arroe.net
