- 0:18Speaker 1: and blessed it that to share conversations with some of
- 0:21Speaker 1: the most famous people around the world, be it in
- 0:23Speaker 1: Hollywood or even Washington, d C. So what happens when
- 0:27Speaker 1: they don't show up for the interview? That's a missed opportunity,
- 0:31Speaker 1: But we still ask the questions. Only on ero dot
- 0:35Speaker 1: net A r r OE dot net. Enjoy your exploration,
- 0:39Speaker 1: hates me that guy that likes to ask questions because
- 0:42Speaker 1: there's a lot of fun when you start doing the research.
- 0:45Speaker 1: One of the questions is it okay to have an
- 0:48Speaker 1: opinion at work? And is it adding to the conflict?
- 0:53Speaker 1: Plus what's causing so much unrest at work? My name
- 0:58Speaker 1: is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wol I
- 1:00Speaker 1: stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
- 1:03Speaker 1: then activate. I call it the Daily Mess because it's
- 1:06Speaker 1: a chronological walk through an everyday world. It is my
- 1:09Speaker 1: morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We
- 1:12Speaker 1: as people tend to throw things to the side because
- 1:15Speaker 1: we think we're gonna deal with it later on. Well,
- 1:18Speaker 1: what a subject arrives inside of me, dude, It is
- 1:20Speaker 1: time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
- 1:24Speaker 1: but by doing that research, the picture becomes clearer. This
- 1:29Speaker 1: is the daily mess. Is it okay to share your
- 1:33Speaker 1: opinion at your place of work? I mean, one look
- 1:36Speaker 1: at today's headlines and you're gonna quickly take note of,
- 1:39Speaker 1: Oh my god, there is some conflict going on here,
- 1:43Speaker 1: but it seems like it's on the rise. And I
- 1:47Speaker 1: say that because according to this research, it's not on
- 1:51Speaker 1: the rise. I'm gonna argue with that. Research shows we
- 1:55Speaker 1: are in the perfect storm for economic pressure. One in
- 1:59Speaker 1: three employees go to work every single day expecting to
- 2:02Speaker 1: face some sort of conflict. This has led companies to
- 2:06Speaker 1: invest more in mediation and conflict resolution services. This suggests
- 2:12Speaker 1: definite change. I mean, the economy is playing a huge
- 2:15Speaker 1: role in this game. The source of negative energy is
- 2:18Speaker 1: stress and uncertainty. It's not just the money. Job in
- 2:23Speaker 1: security is ripping your workplace to shreds. We're seeing more layoffs,
- 2:28Speaker 1: which raises the temperature on tension. The average employee admits
- 2:32Speaker 1: to feeling that conflict. It seems like it's on the rise.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And then they come back and say no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 2:38Speaker 1: that's not true. The average employee admits to feeling the conflict.
- 2:44Speaker 1: So let's break it down even more. Tidy economies amplified
- 2:47Speaker 1: people's workplace opinions. When asked what was causing such employee distrust,
- 2:55Speaker 1: we all pointed toward the layoffs, hiring freezes, and here's
- 2:59Speaker 1: the big one, unclear bosses coming up next. We got
- 3:08Speaker 1: to go even deeper because it's not just the money
- 3:11Speaker 1: that's causing this stress. Hey, welcome back to the daily mess.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Are there more workplace confrontations today because of the economy
- 3:21Speaker 1: changing with all of its ways? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Hold on a second, not so fast. There are bigger
- 3:28Speaker 1: drivers on this current highway of cultural and structural unrest.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Low engagement is a huge issue right now at the workplace.
- 3:38Speaker 1: The end result is a company whose employees are burned out.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Global company engagement is down twenty percent. Now get this,
- 3:48Speaker 1: nearly eighty percent of those that were pulled blame the
- 3:52Speaker 1: conflict at work on bad leadership, who hasn't been trained
- 3:57Speaker 1: to handle toxic environments. There's a problem remote working. Oh,
- 4:02Speaker 1: fire off those emails right now, but remote working is
- 4:05Speaker 1: a problem. It has led to much of this playing out.
- 4:09Speaker 1: There's a lot of miscommunication going on, a lack of
- 4:12Speaker 1: trust and burned out boundaries, plus the infamous generation gap
- 4:18Speaker 1: with its different views of how we take on life.
- 4:22Speaker 1: These aren't the worst of times. The recession of two
- 4:25Speaker 1: thousand and eight was very rough on companies and their employees.
- 4:30Speaker 1: The big difference today is workplace friction is more visible,
- 4:34Speaker 1: psychological and constant burnout. We face it every day. Poor
- 4:39Speaker 1: leadership and bad communication. There's a breakdown taking place, and
- 4:44Speaker 1: that need to be fed. Something is doing one thing.
- 4:48Speaker 1: It's getting inside your heart to say I hate this job.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Dig a little deeper in your personal life. Let's find
- 4:57Speaker 1: out where that really is coming from. I'm erl and
- 5:00Speaker 1: that's the daily mess.
