No one deserves left behind


Manager runs into employee’s administration problems from time to time.

In major situation, employees misjudge their capability. The most of them believes they are not good enough, but still face the challenges directly even with tears. Their achievements honor the organization in proud.

It seldom, but still happen, some of them are naïve. This small group believe there are the best only miss-treated by the one who don’t understand them. When one day the duty comes they found out their ability can’t afforded it, their ego face the challenges, to handle thing in cynical attitude is a common way they will take. Why the thing comes to me? Why I’m busy then the others? It must be my boss doesn’t like me want to set me up. So they fight back and make things getting worst, they don’t know thing can be deal in fluently when with open heart.

Runs under the capitalism system, boss preferring every employee exhaust their every drop of energy on their daily duty. Moreover, in order to ensure the company’s competition capability keep on the top, the management level been requested always hire the best or ensure your employee is the best then can stay in the group. Under this kind request, a retire system runs, a lay off rate been set up to ensure the last one in the group must been given up.

It seems fair, but every engineer always in the progress every day, only some of them learning in high speed and some of them are low. The system starts creating the conflicts.

Two kinds employee are not allow existed in system, one is bad performance with bad working attitude, another is good performance but with bad working attitude. The bad working attitude always brings side effects its harm the system that we can’t afford it. No matter how carefully and seriously we run the process, the lay-off system always hurts both sides and makes us uncomfortable.

One of my engineers reminds me with an ancient story recently, it was an old story every Chinese already know. The story talk about a Buddhist he leads a small group of team need take a long and hardest trip in order to achieve their own destiny. During their trip, they need co-work together face tons of challenge and difficulties. Without their hand in hand cooperation, no one can success. No one can leave behind.

I never thought we can use another view to see the story. But it is really a good start make me deeply thinking thing in another way. Some people takes very time to wait, it may slow down the speed of goal that we want to make. But within a bearable schedule, I still can control it.

Anyway, a runner always need take a step back while they start to race.
