hey hey folks.
I've been kind of absent only really checking on the Today's Mood portion of this site recently.
So I figured why not rant my balls off.
So I would say I'm an analytical person even borderline overly-analytical person in that I really want to know why something happened and I play out scenarios in my head of why something happened, what caused it happened, what was that person thinking when it happened, before it happened, and after it happened. Which I know is a foolish mindset to have but I am who I am and this is something that interest me a lot. I really like the psychological, philosophical, and sociological aspects when it comes to breaking down a situation in my head. I wish my philosophy class in college wasn't so damn boring. Absolutely loved my psychology classes though. I digress.
So today I was thinking about managers and why some managers(I won't get into the issue of all of my managers being this way) are the way they are. And this is more so focused on the bad managers or the ones who let the title of manager take on more than what it should. So as you all may have noticed just from previous writings I have issues with managers and I feel like I can spot bad ones pretty quickly from experience and for me its just that I've had so many bad managers and bad in so many different aspects so I find it interesting when its not just me who has problems with managers and even more interesting when the same problems I've had with managers also happen to other people. It's almost like some weird vindication to say hey I was just bitching about this a few months ago and now this person is going through the same thing as me. It's even weirder when its the exact same thing....like word for word.
So my overly-analytical mind..the over thinker in me starts trying to break down why managers are like this what changes in the mind of a regular individual; that is doing the same work and job as you are, when they become a manager. Is there something about having that title that means that different rules apply now for them? Is there this superiority complex where they are in charge and they can do and say as they please? What makes managers treat people the way that they do? What makes them single out the ones that they think are weak or introverted? What happened in that person's brain/mind when they went from just being a regular worker to being a manager?
So I type all this out because after sharing all of my issues I've had with previous managers at the places I've worked at one of my closest friends now is having the same issues. And while it feels like vindication as I mentioned earlier I completely know what they're going through and almost is following the same playbook...I jokingly call it the flow chart but for them its following the same path as what I went through at the last place I worked at. So, I'm telling them all the things that they can do and should do and its interesting to see how they are handling it and how they want to handle it. It's interesting because different people handle things differently. Where as I would do and have done drastic things such as just quitting a job out of nowhere this person is more hey I need to plan this out, I need to see what my options are, I need to look around for other jobs before quitting this one etc etc. And its not just the logical aspect of it where everyone is like: yes you shouldn't quit a job until you have another one lined up. It's not that at all it is more so seeing how they process what is happening. The way they are handling is more step by step adjusting course for each step and who knows their plan in the end may be just to stay at this job and take how they are being treated. I've known people who work at the same job for 10, 20, 30 years while taking the abuse from managers, district managers, account managers, etc many taking that abuse all the while taking abuse from customers.
Everyone handles situations differently.
So I've been processing a lot of that in my head the last few days.
All the while processing what is going on in my own life which I'll get in to in a later post but just wanted throw out randomness for you all.
À tout à l’heure.
