Should You Put Your Companies Nose In The Corner

We teach our children to behave. We instill in them the attractive qualities of one that is  not selfish, that is considerate and respectful. They learn as they grow that attractive behavior reaps more rewards than unattractive behavior. When they throw a fit ,are selfish and just outright disrespectful they  must suffer the consequences. Usually in some form of punishment they don’t like very much at all , but with the proper use they will learn the lesson intended.  Then they can become the young men and women , that as parents, we can all be proud of…..Right?

So why is it as adults it is ok to behave as we would punish our children’s behavior for? Because we Are Adults? We should know the lessons we taught and set the good example even after our children have grown. And it should apply to Every aspect of our lives. Not just our family and friends.

What does all this have to do with your Company? Their behavior shows where your companies loyalties lie. Do they Respect you or are you the workforce to be taken advantage of.
The first thing that people must understand is that all the profit to pay commissions come from the sale of a product to the end consumer. The Difference between the cost of the product plus the overhead equals  the amount of the commissions they can pay you.  The lower the companies overhead the more they can pay in commissions. Now, Companies with Huge overhead will also have long Policies & Procedures ( here we go again with the P & P’s, wonder why it always comes back to that?) because they may need to steal your bonus check to pay for the overhead.
  Now every company needs a building, a certain amount of employees for that building and of course certain services for that building and all those people ( like janitorial ). That is a given.  Now do you need a CEIOU for toilette supplies…No. But you would be amazed at the titles given to the best friends son-in-laws brother that just got out of prison and can’t get a job anywhere.
 Do they need a ton of lawyers on staff? Only if their P & P’s are planning to steal your bonus check or they have so many problems they need a lot of them there at all times. What about the private Jet and Limo? Don’t they put their pants on the same way you do? If they want the “Royal” treatment it should come from their paycheck ….not yours. Yet these are things that count as “Overhead”.

Now back to that unattractive behavior. If  you are considered to be worthy of disrespect from your company by having to pay all of their Personal Overhead then it’s time for you to put their noses in the corner. Well, at least step back and see Why they behave so badly.
A company that has your best interest in mind will “Cut The Fat”….Mind you that is not to say they will cut corners, those are two different  things.
You can learn how to spot these important behavioral details mostly by reading your P & P’s and doing some research into your company. And if you still need help , there is an  excellent  resource to help you learn how to recognize such behavior.
