THE ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY SYNDROME: Employees rights or privileges?

THE WORKPLACE AND YOU (3)

It is only human nature to become complacent and enter a comfort zone when a person becomes  accustomed to his environment. So naturally, employees gravitate to a psychological level of expecting, even demanding privileges as though they are rights.

Have you ever met a colleague who laments about an inconsiderate boss who queries him for being a frequent latecomer?

Have you witnessed a fellow staff use office resources (official car, computers, stationery, subordinates) for unofficial purposes, claiming that such acts are perks of his office?

Have you circumvented company policy to further a personal ambition, propelled by a justification that your employers is taking more from you than they are offering in return?

Such 'entitlement mentality' syndrome is unhealthy and ultimately affects am employees performance and sabotages the organization's goals and objectives.

You were employed to work. Do just that if you cant do more. Doing anything less is counterproductive.

My name is Victor Idem (ACIA) and I just want to make commonsense.
