Yesterday I met an old friend. It was sad but not sad. I asked him what he had done and he answered:
" You know Philip, I just resigned from the corporation I work for. I am very peaceful, however, do not hide a hint of sadness. You know when I started I was very confident. I thought that working in a big American company would have been different: openness, innovation, true meritocracy. Then came the rather slowly disappointment.
We sat at a bar enjoying the spring sun of Rome and a green tea. We talked for some time than in these big money machines is more important than "being" " do ", then, before we say goodbye, I told an anecdote that I want to give:
Last month, he said, had trouble finding the material for a project. It was Friday and we had to close it by Monday evening. We were doomed. The material I then produced me over the weekend. appreciated by all colleagues as long as they have not discovered that the material had been made by me. It is da quel momento che sono nati i problemi. Alla fine l'azienda mi ha detto che non volevano il mio contributo in regalo neanche se avessi firmato un qualche foglio. L'unico modo per utilizzarlo sarebbe stato pagarmi una cifra simbolica ma non l'avrebbero fatto per non creare precedenti .
Precedenti ho chiesto?
Si esatto! Mi hanno spiegato che se l'avessero fatto tutti i dipendenti avrebbero cercato di fare cose extra .
Ho pensato che sarebbe già un ottimo risultato per un'azienda se tutti i dipendenti facessero il lavoro per cui sono pagati e che quindi non vedevo il problema ma vedendolo abbattuto gli ho chiesto se forse dedicando tempo a cose extra non avesse trascurato il vero lavoro.
No Filippo, ho appena discussed my assessment of 2009 with my boss, everything fantastic career prospects, excellent job. Moreover, the work I did over the weekend.
So how is the project finished? E 'skipped?
No, in the end we used recycled materials, among others paid good money to an 'agency, for an acceptable result but not excellent.
I have only one comment:
If I had a company I would jump for joy at having to pay big symbolic as well as to employees who do their job well I bring added quality work, ideas and solutions. Career prospects and salary are not always the engine that drives people, not those really good at least ... but unfortunately I have a company ... not yet ...
