Should you care
This will be a short post. I have been dealing with lots of unnecessary problems in the past two weeks. All caused by colleagues who either do not know how to communicate or put too much weight on someone’s opinion. Essentially, my job has turned into this of putting fires out. Yep, this is my new job description, PFO.
The second crisis I dealt with in just two weeks seemed to be fueled by people who got offended by remarks/opinions of their colleagues. This happens frequently, everywhere.
I used to care about everyone’s opinion. I am trying not to be influenced anymore. If I truly cared about said about me (and I knew about it), I would have been in the deepest depression ever. I have tons of people evaluating my activities. Most of these people are bitter, unhappy with their lives and their accomplishments, they are themselves in constant doubt and battle with their own bugaboos. In such state, there is no generosity of spirit and mind, no constructive criticism.
Let me ask you a question. When you point out at something unsavory about someone (face to face or behind their back), what is your purpose? Is it to correct the situation or to propagate it? If you do not do your feedback face to face, and if you do not offer any advice on how to improve this person’s state of mind, work, qualities, then YOU ARE PROPAGATING THE ALREADY BAD SITUATION. You are increasing the inflammation of an open wound.
On the receiving end, some time ago I have decided that I would pay attention only when criticism comes from a person I respect and trust. There are not too many of these people around me.
Resonating with all of these recent events and thoughts is a great animation that I found on YouTube:

The author of the video has other great work; I am almost addicted to his videos. Check them out.
