A Point to Ponder
You usually wear jeans or basically just dress down every Fridays. Then you're boss tells you that you can wear jeans from Wednesday till Friday for this week only. Back the same routine after the week ends. You know it's still crappy that you can only wear jeans every Fridays, but you still feel glad, happy, almost ecstatic that you're given permission to dress down for an extra 2 days of THIS week. You spread the news, WITH GLEE, to your fellow co-workers, mimicking the kid from The Matrix Revolutions movie screaming "The war is over."
The above was the point. Here's the ponder.
Isn't it a little bit pathetic to be ecstatic about something like being able to wear jeans at work? If you wanna wear jeans to work, get a construction employee's job. Or go to another company that does basically the same thing you do, except that they don't have a dress code and you can wear jeans all you want, as much as you can. I just don't see the point of being happy for such a minuscule... thingy... when it's the same grind all over again after the current week.
Here's more ponder.
If your boss is really good, wouldn't they know what makes you, the employee, happy? And wouldn't they know that a very happy employee is a very productive employee? And that a very productive employee will rake in more business and more income for the company which basically gives more financial incentives and bonuses to the boss indirectly?
Just pondering. :-x
