From last post

Below is from one of our driver's on the last post titled Amazing..

I know the type, MOSTLY try to be rude and bully their way through life, ONLY folks who they are scared will stand up to them do they respect, the only way to deal with folks like that is to call them out, explain to them it's way easier to just smile and be nice....AND DO YOUR JOB!I think I know who you are referring to, had numerous problems with the person until I laid it out...ALWAYS had a problem with bullies...



Just for the record when I write any personnel stories they are usually not about any one particular person and maybe not even from my present job. I have been in Management for over 35 years and for Retail, construction and Moving. The story lines remain the same no matter the job.
There are always those that will pull in a different direction and those that want to go it alone. And unfortunately those that want to sabotage or pull others down to build themselves up.

That is where YOUR will power comes in and your faith in YOURSELF.

Yes, as this driver says you should stand up to bullies BUT there is a time and a place.

CHOOSE YOUR TIME. 

Do not play in their backyard or on their turf. Stay positive and work with what you have in front of you.
When you lower yourself to their standards or their playground YOU lose.

When you get totally frustrated and angry try to concentrate on what is positive in your life and why you get up every morning and do what you do.
Is it your wife or husband? Your kids? Your grandkids?
What makes you happy and smile? Think about that and let the rest of it roll of your back like water off a duck's ass.
