WORKPLACE It MUST Fail

In the workplace let it fail. When will you learn? If a coworker has left or someone's been fired but the workload has remained exactly the same and you have to pick up the slack. You've got to let it fail in order for the managers to do their job and rehire. Because if you complete it, and you just stretch that little bit further. And they have a budget to allocate to hire someone new and you keep getting it done. They're going to look really good. You just crack the whip a little bit harder. They've done the extra task, which is tomorrow's expectation. Remember that. Please remember that. If you complete extra tasks for no extra pay, it's tomorrow's expectation. It's a new standard that you have set. It's all math. You have to let things fail in order for the top boys and girls to go, why is this failing? Well, there's someone who isn't there, you know, you're a man or woman down by one or two, whatever it is. But you have to be bold and stand your ground and let it fail. You must not let that one coworker that goes, well, let's get it done. Come on team, if we all work together, although, you know, we're missing a person or two, let's get it done and let's make it a success. No, I'd be that guy to say, don't you dare let this fail. Today must fail so that they can see that we are missing a person and the workload is not evenly spread. Now, I know some of you will go, but I worry for my job. If I don't do it, then I won't have a job. You have to get a backbone and some self-respect. Every now and again, when needed, it must fail. Not all the time. That's not what I'm saying. But when needed, let it fail because otherwise you are going to make a rod for your back. And you'll have to go above and beyond every day. And like I said, an extra task, one or two, will be your expectation tomorrow without any extra pay.
