Far too many businesses are focused on money. Far too many employees are focused on money, too. You have virtually every single soul chasing after the limited number of dollars, and someone is bound to get shorted.
Individuals need to focus on vocation. What God has called you - and gifted you - to do. Yes we need money to live. But if that's all you're after you're bound to come up frustrated. Do what you're good at, whatever it is. Do it well, put your heart into it. If you can't do that at your job, quit and find a job where you can. Honest work is fulfilling, and eventually you will reach a place of contentment.
Bosses need to focus on their most important asset - their employees. Yes you need profit to stay in business. But if you focus on profit and only your funds to the exclusion of all else you will eventually lose your business and livelihood. Because you treat your people poorly they will get frustrated and leave, which then means you have to hire replacements. Training is expensive - constant retraining is bankrupting. Eventually folks will either form a union to force change or your business will get a rep and nobody will want to work for you. This is already happening. Businesses have responded by outsourcing where there is cheap labor with no unions, and now going to AI and automation. Shows everybody where they're focused on.
A businesses number one asset is its people. Invest in them, take care of them, treat them like you want to be treated. If they're not worth that investment, fire them and get people who are. There are good workers out there, and they're looking for good places to work. Be one of those places. Think long term - any investment in people will come back to blow-you-over bless you. I'm thinking the movie "Mr. Hollands Opus".
I've reached a point in my life where it seems I've fallen thru the cracks. Can't find work I can do, seems like I invested 30 years in HVAC for nothing other than keeping my own unit going. Kinda got me down. Then over the past 6 months I've gotten calls from 8-10 people I haven't talked to in years. Asking me where I've been, am I OK, and how glad they were to have me doing they're A/C over the years. How honest, affordable, and using out-of-the-box thinking to get things fixed. And I keep running into people like this. So maybe my life meant something after all.
