  • I just subbed to you based on your interesting perspectives. However, I'm finding more and more that you use a lot of generalizations based on your own life experiences, rather than philosophically logical thought.

    You are essentially claiming that management is all about efficiency and lower level workers can't and don't really understand this, and thusly need to be educated.

    This, quite honestly is asinine.

  • Great video!

  • i've been reading more then a few books and millions of articles of how to 'survive' at work. this is the first time someone points something out that i actually can and will use. so, thanks for sharing a real helpful 'tip' and not just a lot of hot air.

  • Cool perspective, will have to relisten to this.

  • Question: Won't a manager view his employees as more of a threat if they obviously have the potential to pass him up?

  • Yes. You don't want to work for someone like that... :)

  • @elimisteve thats why u always become buds with 2 or 3 people up the ladder

  • Wow, some people might not like to discipline their employees... The female work-team I worked for a summer really seemed to enjoy deviously scorning their employees making them in as bad mood for the work day as they could and firing people in the ever more humiliating ways one can think of.

  • Hey STef. This is off topic but it popped into my head and now I need to get it out. Do you beleive morals/ethics come from an enlightened society by means of generational teaching. I beleive that God has given me a conscience(con=with science=knowledge), but I question this based on canibalism and other immoral(supposed) action by indiginous groups.

  • Great. Keep it coming man

  • I know from direct experience that you are absolutely correct in this video. 5 stars.

  • This is a great piece of advice. Thank you.

  • Great advice, thanks! This subscription just keeps getting better and better!

  • Good video. *****

  • I work with a bunch of those "problem" guys.

  • Very useful information, thank you.

  • I'd like to make a suggestion for the next topic. Running your own business: are you philosophically prepared? Being a marketer, I would have been in big moral problems by this point if I hadn't have defined my philosophy and ethics before I started my own business. Finding FDR has certainly motivated to further refine my limits to what jobs I will take. I know just by the few moral gray areas that I have stepped into in business have wreaked havoc on my soul in the past.

  • Remember to document the facts first! :)

  • [cont from last comment] If this had been earlier on in the client/contractor relationship I could have objectively solved this problem, but at this point I don't even feel like salvaging it. For the future, I plan on trying this method out on both client and contractor sides.

  • I found the same to be true with clients. I brought one client only problems, and eventually our relationship self-destructed because he was fed up with my problems, without solutions. I've had it work the other way around too. I have a client who brings me only problems, and in this particular relationship it is not my job to come up with solutions. Every time I get an e-mail from this client I cringe and have decided not to do work for them any longer.

  • This is some excellent advice that I think anybody can use for their job. There's a little bit of psychology there too ;-)

  • Oh t-shirts now. very nice.
