Managing yourself effectively at your work place
I remember a certain Monday morning, it was sunny and the atmosphere was lively, bright and spirits were high with enthusiasm.
I and some of my colleagues who share the same work station were chatting away, while we was conversing i realized that one of us wasn't participating in the conversation, then i looked at him and saw his face was downcast.
I called his attention to find out what was wrong, and he said ,"Tom am not happy am not motivated in this place, this company does not value my work ."
Sincerely speaking i felt for him, because he was actually saying the truth and i am also a victim or should i say a replica of the truth.
But you see life is a choice, or i will say to live is a choice, you can go home and kill yourself either by hanging or poisoning it's your choice if you feel you are tired of living or you can keep persevering and stay alive with hope.
Same implies to your Job, when you dropped your CV you weren't forced you chose to work, some of us even wrote the phrase "I here by apply for" in our application letters. I told my colleague this,
" the moment you begin to loose interest in your job the less productive you will become."
Then i told him, if this company isn't meeting your demands you have a choice to resign and seek for a job somewhere else, because if you continue like this all you will be seeing are the things not going well, when you are giving a job to do you will be reluctant to do the Job and this will bring issues between you and your line manager because you have no drive to work which made you unproductive, hereby making you complain over every little thing.
How you think or feel reflects on your Job performance
where ever you find yourself working and you realize you are no longer driven to work, you find yourself complaining of too much work load, or exchanging words with your boss, you complain about lack of incentive, poor salary and other negative things you weren't seeing before now. STOP AND THINK LOOK BACK TO WHEN YOU STARTED AND ASK YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE GROWN BIGGER THAN THE JOB. and then evaluate your recent status and achievements then you will know if you need a new Job or you need to work on your Personal Effectiveness and Time Management. if you don't you are on the verge of loosing your job sooner than you think.
In conclusion no employer has the right to cage you down in their organization, you have the choice to either re-negotiate your employment if you feel you deserve more, readjust yourself to the current situation to suite you in which you find yourself if you like the work environment or resign.
You must see your place of work as an empowerment place in which you are responsible for the amount of knowledge and experience you gain while you are working there.
You are what you think, and what you think is what directs what you do unconsciously.
