Who are you fooling ?

This week I watched a fellow employee move from desk to desk and stand around and chat and complain to anyone who would listen.

What they were complaining about I have no idea but if I was to add all the time wasted that day by this individual it would at least half their day.

So while they were on our payroll they stole a half a day's pay.
That is the way that I look at it.

It is grossly unfair to all the other employees that keep their heads down and work a full day.

The crazy part is these people that spend the day bitching about work could be so much better at their job if they actually worked at their job.

I have seen dozens of these type people come and go and they just don't ever get it.

They think they are getting something over on management or their employer but who are they ultimately fooling?

Do yourself a favor- if you are getting paid to work than work- If you do not like something than work the system to try to change it. Think of what YOU can do to help change things. If you can not think of any solutions or think the problems are to big for you than choose the right moment and your words and meet with your manager or supervisor. Always to try follow your complaint with a suggestion.

Trust me people see and note the people that are truly working and those that are here to just make time go by and the more they spend time visiting others the less time they have to actually work.

It is noted and eventually those people are just a name that we try to remember years later after they are let go.

Who are you fooling?
