Degradation of the self occurs in many careers.\u00a0 This is especially true where tremendous power and control comes from the administration or other places.\u00a0 When someone goes to work for an organization, they initially function closer to themselves, and over time, the loss of the self often happens.\u00a0 Most people in ordinary jobs go to work every day, trying to do their best.\u00a0 Over time these positions have the same salary that if lucky will allow you to buy a small home, save for college, a car, feed your kids, and go on a couple of vacations with hopes of saving a little for the future.\u00a0 However, what happens at the office is you become more entrenched and committed to the organization regardless of the environment at work.\u00a0 It allows work and bosses to have more control and influence over time as you are stuck in a pseudo-survival zone state.\u00a0 I sometimes wonder if people in organizations and bosses know you are making enough to get by and need the job.\u00a0 This puts people in a cycle of dependence rather than a healthier working together environment.\u00a0 This creates a situation where so-called employers can start taking advantage of you and may disrespect or stop valuing you as much as they should.\u00a0 Likewise, it seems as if people become more machine-like than human beings.\u00a0 Common sense, reasonableness, and rationality are often lost as people must get through each day to do nothing against policy, law, or procedure on top of their organizational roles.\u00a0 This excessive structure and process takes away from our natural humanness and everyday behavioral interactions with others.\u00a0 It also turns people into less human and less feeling people, which is the opposite of what we would naturally be if we were not required to be so rigid by the book.\u00a0 People ought to be respected and trusted to interact with others in the best way possible because it should be in everyone\u2019s nature to do such a thing if everyone has a foundation in the essentials and foundations of being human in our world.\u00a0 Other extreme situations utilize workers that have been blemished in some itinerant way so they can be treated as subservient \u201cslaves.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many give poor performance reviews initially and use a bad review as ammunition over you.\u00a0 Some organizations are proactive and will not hire you unless they blemish you first.\u00a0 That way, when you make waves, they can use blemishes to hurt, embarrass you, attempt to criminalize you, destroy your reputation, destroy your standing, and, above all, fire you.\u00a0 I even believe there are organizations and entire structures of other organizations that function to dirty your reputation in elaborate, well-planned ways.\u00a0 Is it happening at the macrocosm on planet Earth?\u00a0 Most of the time, people in traditional structures, functions, and organizations are just \u201cdoing their job\u201d because they are told to do so.\u00a0 Salary is also minimized when rumors or itinerant dirt has been gathered behind the scenes that you never even know about.\u00a0 The troubling concept is that the hardest working and trusting individuals tend to be impacted by these phenomena.\u00a0 Likewise, those who struggle and are willing to get by with less are being treated so that they are taken advantage of for their genuine kindness and hard work.<\/p>\n
People in more respected organizations are politically aligned and are more \u201cyes\u201d people.\u00a0 They are the only type to get raises, promotions, fringe benefits, and perks.\u00a0 Being loyal to an out-of-control, detrimentally impacting organization serves no purpose but to continue the perception functioning and reality dichotomy.\u00a0 Checks and balances are lost.\u00a0 Diversity is lost.\u00a0 Organizations become monoculture functioning, which is dangerous as continuous learning and healthy adaptation in a sustainable striving way is lost.\u00a0 This reverberates within the organization and throughout the interactivity with other people and organizations.\u00a0 Eventually, we have organizations that are ill.\u00a0 Organizations that are ill create more illness in all their interactive functions as well until there is an epidemic.\u00a0 One primary concern is that we have become a Planet Earth corporation that exhibits the same behaviors as seen at the more local levels as at the globalization level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
