The big event is a calendar leaf away. But still no hustle and bustle from the removal of hands on the table. Either they are just calm and graceful under pressure or they simply don’t care.
If they are like the first ones, then it’s a sign of maturity. The perfect formula to win a game is to never lose composure, no matter what. It’s good to have someone brewing something and surprise you at the end. If they are like the other ones, then it’s a sign of management gone wrong.
In an organisation, everybody should be good at recognising signals of inefficiency, mismanagement, and mediocre performance.
What if the top management is disconnected? Can we blame the big bosses? Do they really know what is going on? What if the middle managers are the ones not doing their part and they are just “working” in a nearby café?
Middle Manager (MM) A doesn’t care if an employee resigns because of indirect contact. The other Middle Managers do not care either because they are working on Task A-Z. The Top Manager “manages” everyone; talk about giving orders and checking outputs of rank and file employees and middle managers. So if I resign, nobody would care.
When Employee AA did not renew her contract, Middle Manager F requested a meeting with the Top Manager and all Middle Managers. During the meeting, Middle Manager F voiced out that Employee AA, who is in-charge of Task No. 1, is about to resign. Well, they did not have the time to check on the status of employees before they even started considering non-renewal of their contracts.
Talk about a work environment revolving around the mantra “Everything is nothing until it becomes personal.”
