The Serenity Prayer and the Unofficial Boss at WallyWorld I have an "Unofficial Boss" at Wallyworld. It's become a standing joke among my "Co-Workers" and even my "Real Bosses". When I first started at the job, he took it upon himself to check and criticize my work. He has become a real pain in the Gluteous Maximus. I have dealt with Workplace Bullies in the past. I actually lost a job when I tried standing up to one. When I applied for unemployment - the employer protested with their lawyer saying that I was mentally unbalanced and imagined the abuse. I won the case by taking the lawyer's legal forms and doing them better than him. It got fun going toe to toe with the cheesy lawyer but what a hassle. The next time it happened. I simply found another job and left. I gave my employer proper two weeks notice and when I went to start the new job, it was no longer open. Gadzooks! Now the situation repeats itself so it's up to me to take the lessons of the past and apply them to the current situation. This brings me to the Serenity Prayer God Grant Me SERENITY to ACCEPT the Things I CANNOT Change I can't change this man or his Agenda COURAGE to Change the Things I CAN This is the challenge. If I DON'T Stand up to him, his behavior will esculate and the job will become completely unbearable. On the other hand, If I don't handle it correctly, I could lose my job. WISDOM to KNOW the Difference My past experience have taught me that telling him to take a flying Whoopee in a Rolling Bagel may not be the proper way to handle him. Quitting the job is not the solution. WallyWorld does have an OPEN DOOR Policy which means talking to the real bosses but that can backfire too. So............. I'll ignore him tomorrow and keep repeating the Serenity Prayer. God Grant Me SERENITY to ACCEPT the Things I CANNOT Change COURAGE to Change the Things I CAN and WISDOM to KNOW the Difference At a crossroads in the countryside, there stood a temple wherein was enshrined a statue of god carved in wood. One day, a man was pursuing his way when he saw a ditch before him. So he removed the statue from the temple and put it down lengthwise to span the ditch. He stepped on it and crossed over. Then another man came along. Unable to bear the sight of the statue lying in the ditch, he propped it up and carrying it back to the temple restored it to its pedestal. Thereupon the god accused of him of failing to burn incense and at once cursed him with a splitting headache. Bewildered, all the lectors of the Purgatory Judge asked the god: "The man who trod on you had gone unpunished; yet the man who helped you up has been cursed with a headache. Why?" "Well," the god explained, "you ought to know that the kindhearted people are the ones you can bully."  Abracadabra  |
