drink water good!
Drink water,
drink drink water
ah har!!!!
I have been addicted to drinking water lately, which I don't know it's a good thing or a bad thing. I will keep on drinking water when I am at my work desk.. Maybe it's because of the stress and I wanted to "cure" my addiction from coke and green tea, hence, changed my drink to water. PS: I will tend to drink coke, green tea or some other cold drinks when I am stressed. Maybe it's due to the high amount of work coming in at this time of the year. Maybe. But it is expected when I signed, right? Beats me why I took up this job but then again, it's pretty exciting.
Some of my colleagues and seniors, asked me to think about my future. I have been thinking a lot lately, especially when you are reaching your 25 mark. It just makes you think, a lot. I have been pondering, what shall I do in the future, is there anything else I can improve on, which I can do or anything that I can learn, or shall I change job, do something different which I can upgrade myself. But the point is, I am, rather happy with what I am now, provided that they managed to add my pay to market rate and I greatly appreciate and put my whole heart into it.
$$. Although it is not that important but it is still important. There are a few things which you can retain your staff by.. Firstly, the appreciation to your staff, especially to those who work a lot behind the scene. Of course we will like to have a pat on our shoulders and a few words of appreciation like, "Thanks for being there to help!", "Good job!" and a few others. Secondly, staff of course will like to see praises going to the correct and well deserved people and not to those who try to act busy and hard working and showy people. The reason behind this second point is very simple. We simply wants those who work like hell with us to be appreciated, this is especially true for those who are team player. Once you praise them and their team people, they will be greatly appreciated and will likely to work harder. But nevertheless, $$ is still important. There is this tipping point where the huge amount of work is too overwhelming when the first and second point becomes of no use. Then, the third option will be good - which is to increase pay or give out good performance bonus. But, if your staff are expecting the third option, then I guess the best next thing to do, might to be hire another new staff to share the workload.
Nevertheless, these points are just somethings I observed. They are all just in my opinion.. It may be good to see some of the bosses point of view.. that will be interesting!
Cheers!
with water! healthier choice...
