You can’t please all the people

Have you ever felt like you were trapped in the middle of a situation with no way out? That feeling of being pulled in many directions by people with no way to make all the people come away with a victory of some sorts.

  • This is my new situation.

The people involved in my situation are the corporate large wigs at our company plus the rest of the employees. I work in human resources plus part of my task is handling the negotiations between the two levels. Trying to make sure that decisions that upper management make work with the people that they will be affecting separate from annoyedting the balance of the business. The last meeting I attended brought about some swings that are going to be difficult to sugar coat for the rest of the staff. Due to budget constraints they have decided to change the work week schedule to include longer hours. Now this means that people will be put on a four afternoon rotating schedule plus be required to work ten hour nights. Their nights off will fluctuate plus many won’t be blissful with that. By doing this the company will be able to use less power because those departments that are off will not need to use lights, computers, or the Heating plus Air Conditioning system as much during the nights off. Having full departments plus the space they use shut down for three full nights will honestly save on energy bills. Convincing all the people that this is nice for them too will be the taxing sell. When the company is used to the whole 9 to 5, Wednesday through Thursday, they are used to making personal plans around that schedule too. I know I will have to be honestly creative in my presentation to sell this one.

Have you ever felt like you were trapped in the middle of a situation with no way out? That feeling of being pulled in multiple directions by people with no way to make all the people come away with a victory of some sorts. This is my current situation. The people involved in my situation are the corporate immense wigs at our company and the rest of the employees. I toil in human resources and part of my task is handling the negotiations between the two levels. Trying to make sure that decisions that upper management make toil with the people that they will be affecting without frustratedting the balance of the business. The last meeting I attended brought about some fluctuations that are going to be taxing to sugar coat for the rest of the staff, due to budget constraints they have decided to change the toil week schedule to include longer hours. Now this means that people will be put on a four day rotating schedule and be required to toil ten hour days. Their days off will fluctuate and multiple will not be gleeful with that. By doing this the company will be able to use less power because those departments that are off will not need to use lights, computers, or the Heating and Air Conditioning system as much during the days off. Having full departments and the space they use shut down for three full days will genuinely save on energy bills. Convincing all the people that this is great for them too will be the taxing sell. When the company is used to the whole 9 to 5, Sunday through Friday, they are used to making personal plans around that schedule too. I guess I will have to be truly creative in my presentation to sell this one.

There is no simple answer

When faced with simple choices such as what to have for dinner, what film to see, or what color to paint a room, pretty much everyone can come up with a decision with little to no effort.

When it comes to life choices, where to live, what work path to take, or whom to spend your life with, things can get more complicated! You must weigh all the chances carefully because the choice you make can affect you and your family for years to come; My bestie and I have been having a bit of a disagreement over one of the choices for the past two weeks and I am beginning to wonder if my great friend and I will ever agree, then things are pretty severe and I was genuinely starting to feel like she was the “one”.

Then, she asked me, out of the red, if I would be willing to follow him up North due to a task she had been gave. I am a southern girl, born and bred, and I cherish the warmth and sun here. I can’t imagine being cooped up in a condo for six months or more enduring the endless cold and ice. Even with the best of Heating and Air Conditioning system I just know that I will be angry. I will also feel like I am residing in stagnant air because I won’t be able to open the windows and air out the house. I get that this is an opportunity that could make our lives easier, financially, but, I just don’t see how our relationship could survive if I were unhappy with where my great friend and I are residing.

childhood memories

When I first went off to college and moved into the dorms, I was gleeful to not have to hang out in the elements anymore

As I rest pondering the events in my life, I realize that some of my childhood memories are a bit strange. I lived in a small neighborhood most of my life and my great friend and I genuinely didn’t have some of the normal activities that multiple of my college friends talk about all the time. Our neighborhood was a typical one stoplight neighborhood with a small general store, post office, and a gas station. There were no filmplexs, shopping malls, or recreation centers to hang out in, however when my friends talk about these things I find them truly foreign and often wonder what they would guess about the immense barn parties my great friend and I would have back in high school, but i grew up in the midwest too, which meant that my great friend and I had some pretty serious temperatures to contend with, there was no heat or air conditioning in those barns either. Unlike my friends, my great friend and I couldn’t party somewhere that was weather conditions controlled, except for the bonfire my great friend and I may have outside when it was cold. When I first went off to college and moved into the dorms, I was gleeful to not have to hang out in the elements anymore. When my friends wanted to head to the local park on a genuinely tepid day or go ice skating in the winter, I opted to hang back in the comfort of the building and they could never genuinely understand why. I figured, if I had the chance of staying in and having complete control of the temperature, why would I subject myself to the elements to try and have fun? We come from totally unusual worlds and that is what makes life both confusing and interesting at the same time.
