Speaking Out At Work

Have you ever spoken out at work? Has there ever been a problem with your job tools that you needed to bring the matter to your supervisor\'s attention? Were you afraid to do this? Afraid of repercussions or of losing you job. Or the possibility of being branded a trouble maker. If you have answered yes or no, read on.

But what if you really have a ligament complaint? The tools you were given do not work for you. You needed to make a minor or major change for your job to work.

This is a very hard question to answer. Do you keep your mouth shut and play safe - or do you open your mouth and say something?

I have been in this situation many times in the past. At times I have opened my mouth and said something. Mostly it had fallen on deaf ears. In most cases, supervisors have never had to do your particular job. They did not have a clue what was involved in you completing your daily quota.

Staying silent and working in misery day after day crushes your self-esteem. Soon you are not happy with just showing up at work everyday. You may even take out your frustrations on your spouse. This leads to high blood pressure and other medical problems.

Keeping all your emotions locked deep inside of you can one day lead to an explosion at work, when asked why something was not done in a certain way or on time.

I think the employers should ask their employees for any suggestions in how to make their job easier and more productive. Who do you think wins out in the end. The employer of course.

What ever happened to the suggestion box? Some employers do have a good working relationship with their employees and some treat their employees unprofessional.

If you want to speak out for a better sense of peace of mind ----- Think before you speak.
