Is YOUR Employee Screaming For Help Without Being Heard?

This is not a lengthy piece (at 470 words) but I think the message it carries is quite weighty.

Many times in large (and even small) organisations, “office politics” if allowed to get out of hand can lead to some VERY talented and creative members of the team getting frustrated to the point that they LEAVE the organisations or become subdued and fall into a “depression” of sorts.

I have always been a believer in the philosophy of MAINTAINING and building up employee/workforce morale without necessarily having to resort to MONETARY incentives.

Some business owners and managers however think they can DEMAND commitment and compliance from their workers without making the latter FEEL their is a good reason to act accordingly.

It is my considered opinion that EVERY manager or business has the RESPONSIBILTY to check and ensure the right atmosphere and environment exists for EACH member of the organisation, regardless of rank or position to perform to the best of his/her ability – and ENJOY doing so.

Sadly, in many companies today, we have many unhappy and de motivated employees working for insensitive managers and business owners. The letter I reproduce below is a perfect example of what can result if a situation like that is allowed to persist.

As you read this ALARMING letter from an employee who cried out form “help”, the question I want you to ask yourself is what can YOU do to ensure NO ONE in your company or under your supervision EVER feels a need to write such a letter to ANYONE – your boss or yourself!

Re: Oppression And Destruction

In recent weeks, my boss…..(name deleted)…has unleashed several sudden unprovoked attacks (both verbal and written) on my person, and under the guise of “job demands”.

After much self restraint to keep relationships unstrained in the interest of the job, I have now been compelled to cry out because the way and manner these attacks are coming clearly reveal some ulterior motive behind his actions.

While I would like to believe and be assured that this is not a deliberate attempt calculated at damaging my reputation, and to destroy my career prospects in the company after over eleven (11) good years or hard work, dedication, and devotion to duty, in view of the recent bias, I would be most grateful, if in the interest of peace, justice and fair play, a quick and detailed investigation is allowed into this matter in order to avert any unpleasant circumstance in the near future, for God’s sake.

Thanks, in anticipation of a timely intervention.

Yours faithfully,

Signed (Name Deleted)
