Looking through some old documents I came upon a card. Well, it was a few cards, I found from past employees and co-workers I have worked with, that wrote some beautiful words towards me. The feeling of appreciation and love, they showed me for me being myself and the compassion I shown them and encourage them to have while we worked together. These cards were not forced and I feel the words just spilled of the tongue so easily.
There were two employments I worked at that the people loved me and really showcased it daily. You can say I was their favorite manager, there favorite and positive beacon of light as they came to work and greeted so warmly and nice. However, afterwards I gave them a bunch of work and say get busy, scram, and they just smile and laugh and say anything for you Jixi, you are such a grinch. Okay, maybe they didn’t say I was a grinch, they did call me mean, but I guess in a playful way.
Where ever I work, I always get the best out of people, as I always give the best into people, and I will accept nothing less. If we both going to slave at work together and go through the woes, we might as well have fun, achieve greatness, eat some tasty lunch or breakfast, before we get tired and go home safely to our families. Even though I was a hard ass to everyone, I was the most kindest hard ass in the game. 🙂
