I haven't finished when my boss shouted... Who will clear the files on your table? Who will do this and that? I'm sorry, you can't go.... I felt bad but important...
One day, we lost a colleague of ours....
Everybody was summoned, as the speaker addressed other employees who were sobbing... A minute silence to honour her.. he said... In less than 30 seconds, he said, may her soul Rest in Peace, Amen. You can all go back to work...
I asked my boss, sir, who will clear her table and do all she was doing? He smiled and said, someone will resume with us next week to take her place....
I thought i was irreplaceable but this has taught me that if i were the one who died, someone else would resume to clear the files.
To those who shout at people at work and make them feel irrelevant, To those who act in places of worship like without them things can't be done properly,
To all who are so pompous and feel the world revolves round them and should be treated with so much respect they don't give to others.......
Someday you will go....
And guess what?
Work will continue... that thing you think cannot be done without you will not die. They might miss your ideas, But trust me, YOU ARE Not IRREPLACEABLE. Do what you can and let others do theirs.
Be calm, show love even when you correct others when they make mistakes....
It is really a small WORLD!
