Ethics
You're a Hard Worker, but Those Around You Are Not
Do you ever notice the unfortunate lack of hard work ethic? Do you see this problem at your own job? You are a hard worker and you know it, but those around you are not. It is good to see your hard work ethic, now can you honestly say that you are the norm?
You see throughout my career as a human worker I have worked around the mining industry, oil industry, auto industry, trucking industry, rail industry and manufacturing industry and I have not seen what I believe to be the hard work ethic to the level I find appropriate for being in it to win it for the team or company. Oh I see people showing up on time, doing their work and making the motions. Yet I also see them often doing it at slow pace and even coaxing new workers and low-men on the totem pole to ?slow down you are making us look bad? or ?why are you in such a hurry, if we finish early, they?ll just give us more work to do!?
And by my name I guess you can see where I am coming from if you do a search on the father of modern management and figured out that ?Friedrich ?Winslow? Taylor? is in our family tree. I have always been under the belief that showing up and punching in is not the only requirement. Work hard and put in your fair share to keep your company healthy and productive. Think on this in 2006.
