The office has been quite challenging lately. The water cooler gossip has emerged to be a full scale cat fight.
WHEN THE MOUNTAIN WILL NOT GO TO MUHAMMAD, MUHAMMAD WENT TO THE MOUNTAIN.
A little gossip is definitely a dangerous thing. Especially when the gossip has moved from the water cooler to the individual work stations. Hate inciting and dubious sources of information has given the new gossip in town low gasoline to fan the flames. So, now Muhammad has had to go to individual work stations to preach his insanity.
Taking a step back, we have to realize that the office is not, and will not, be a democracy. We will not always be heard. We will not always be liked. And we will have no control over management. Those that feel that one voice will make a difference is a fool.
And if we take another step back, we also have to realize that census say only 50% of those "information centers" have a valid reason for working the room. And the other 50% do not even remember why they got started.
And when called to the carpet, these "information centers" will fall back on everyone else. It was never their idea. It was just passed on to them. And as good samaritans, they are informing the population.
Really. And you think this is the first time they have said that? We all have behavioural patterns that tend to repeat almost in a cycle. Good. Bad. And the gossip mongering.
It is a tendency for repeat offenders to offend again. After all, we are only human. We make mistakes. But, we have to go through life as a process. Develop a learning curve to help us adapt with future challenges. We should let all our mistakes of yesterday and today be a foundation for better decision making.
So, please. Dont blame anyone else for the puddle you are standing on. If you dont like the puddle. Dont start it. We create our way in this world. Be a Master of your own destiny.
And I dont want to hear about the puddle you are standing on. It's Old News.
