- 0:06Speaker 1: the story? I mean, there used to be a time
- 0:08Speaker 1: when we would turn to AM, radio, MTV or wherever
- 0:11Speaker 1: else just to get the stories behind the music. So
- 0:14Speaker 1: what is going on with your favorite songs? Music's Lost
- 0:18Speaker 1: History Only on ero dot net, Aroe dot net. Enjoy
- 0:23Speaker 1: your exploration. Hey, what's going on? It's me that question guy. Yeah,
- 0:28Speaker 1: the dude that's always asking questions because it's so much
- 0:30Speaker 1: fun researching for answers such as why have we reverted
- 0:35Speaker 1: back to brown nosing the boss? Plus the ups downs
- 0:44Speaker 1: in questionable ways that we tend to play the boss
- 0:47Speaker 1: because we think it's gonna land us more money every month.
- 0:50Speaker 1: My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
- 0:56Speaker 1: than activate. It is a daily mess, a chronological walk
- 1:00Speaker 1: through an everyday world. My morning writing. It is as
- 1:03Speaker 1: a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend
- 1:06Speaker 1: to throw things to the side because we think we're
- 1:08Speaker 1: gonna deal with it later on. Yeah, two three o'clock
- 1:11Speaker 1: in the morning, when you want to get some sleep
- 1:13Speaker 1: right and you're like, uh, I don't want to get
- 1:15Speaker 1: up to right. Well, when a subject arrives inside of me,
- 1:19Speaker 1: it's time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
- 1:22Speaker 1: but by doing the research, the picture is gonna become clear.
- 1:27Speaker 1: This is the daily mess. Have people reverted back to
- 1:31Speaker 1: following along with the boss in the way of you know,
- 1:35Speaker 1: brown nosing? Uh oh. Research is showing we are the
- 1:41Speaker 1: new generation of the classic brown nose. And it's not
- 1:45Speaker 1: because it becomes less intelligent or less independent. Several forces
- 1:51Speaker 1: are collaborating to slam employees into living that brown nose lifestyle.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Number One, there are a lot of people losing their
- 1:59Speaker 1: jobs right now. Number one reason is job in security.
- 2:03Speaker 1: And here's the thing. With so many job offers and
- 2:05Speaker 1: layoffs going on right now, everybody is doing whatever they
- 2:08Speaker 1: can to not create the waves. Boss man, get your
- 2:11Speaker 1: butt over here so I can put my nose all
- 2:13Speaker 1: over it. Number Two, Bosses today have created a workplace
- 2:17Speaker 1: environment that rewards loyalty. You know what that means, exhaustion
- 2:23Speaker 1: and burnout. It's totally swiped the fire from the steam
- 2:26Speaker 1: engine of a workplace rebel. Plus, we can't forget about
- 2:30Speaker 1: fear of conflict. Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, let's get
- 2:33Speaker 1: one thing straight here. Now, following a good leader is
- 2:37Speaker 1: not the same as blindedly obeying a boss. Just know
- 2:41Speaker 1: who your brown knows you? Okay. A healthy workplace should
- 2:45Speaker 1: allow all employees to say, I understand what you're really
- 2:49Speaker 1: going for here, I just have a concern as to
- 2:52Speaker 1: how we're going to get there. The danger is always
- 2:55Speaker 1: going to begin when people stop saying what they want,
- 2:59Speaker 1: because being agreeable is safer than being honest. So when
- 3:04Speaker 1: we break it all down, yeah, more and more people
- 3:07Speaker 1: have moved back to the old fashioned brown nosing the boss.
- 3:12Speaker 1: As for those who want the challenge, well, the system
- 3:15Speaker 1: is there for you to go for it. You aren't
- 3:17Speaker 1: going to be a very popular person, but is that okay?
- 3:21Speaker 1: And can you easily shake that game? Hey? Coming up next,
- 3:25Speaker 1: speaking of the boss, So how many people play the boss?
- 3:30Speaker 1: You know, play them to get more money at the
- 3:32Speaker 1: end of the month. Hey, welcome back to the daily mess.
- 3:37Speaker 1: When we play our boss landing a new job in
- 3:41Speaker 1: hopes of the old job is going to give you
- 3:43Speaker 1: a big pay raise. WHOA guess what not? Everybody plays
- 3:48Speaker 1: the radio game like we did if we ever got
- 3:51Speaker 1: busted for playing a boss. The industry labeled you plus
- 3:56Speaker 1: in six months to a year, your boss is it's
- 4:00Speaker 1: probably going to be replaced. I know it is. In
- 4:01Speaker 1: the grocery store business, we go through more, more decision makers.
- 4:06Speaker 1: And the thing is, though, is that when they do
- 4:08Speaker 1: switch out like that, you got to start all over again.
- 4:12Speaker 1: You've got to watch out for the backfire. As one
- 4:15Speaker 1: boss explains, you were so willing to leave without getting
- 4:20Speaker 1: this pay raise, So why would that change any reason
- 4:24Speaker 1: why you wanted to leave if I gave you your money.
- 4:27Speaker 1: The golden rule is to protect the needs of all
- 4:31Speaker 1: people approach that new job because you genuinely want to
- 4:35Speaker 1: accept the offer. Money can fix a paycheck, but it
- 4:39Speaker 1: doesn't always fix the boss, nor does it repair the
- 4:43Speaker 1: rupture in culture. And oh what about that workload. If
- 4:47Speaker 1: you're going to get more money at your workplace, you
- 4:49Speaker 1: know what that means, You got more responsibilities on your hands.
- 4:53Speaker 1: So now here's the thing. Your co workers have lost
- 4:56Speaker 1: their respect for you because their lives are changing because
- 4:59Speaker 1: you attempt to escape. The hotel California was all cleared
- 5:03Speaker 1: up because you got more money and they didn't. Retail
- 5:07Speaker 1: and food service lead the way of people who like
- 5:10Speaker 1: to play their bosses. Other red flags show up in
- 5:14Speaker 1: sales departments, call centers, and oh, look at this healthcare
- 5:18Speaker 1: support programs. Oh and any person who plays the boss
- 5:23Speaker 1: and gets more money really isn't seen as a job hopper. Nope,
- 5:29Speaker 1: get this. I don't even like this name, but this
- 5:31Speaker 1: is what they are. Strategic job hoppers. Yeah, a true
- 5:38Speaker 1: leverage player. Which one are you? I'm Marrow And that's
- 5:43Speaker 1: the daily mess.
