The Change
Fran woke and read her bible daily. She readied her self for work and prided herself in doing the best job possible.
“Fran, would you like to help with payroll?” said the boss.
“I’ve never done payroll, but I’m happy to learn,” said Fran.
She’d been helping out with this for a few weeks. One day she walked back to his office to ask a question and saw a game on the boss’ computer. Interesting she thought. This happened the next week too.
She went home and told her husband, “I think my boss is playing games while I help him with his job.”
“Fran, can you help with payroll this week?” said the boss.
“I’m really busy with statements this week,” said Fran after she finished her last one that day.
“I’ll find time then,” said the boss.
Two days later, the boss said, “Fran, can you take the mail to the post office today.”
“Oh, I’d love to, but I need to pick up my grandson right after work,” said Fran when she got off at 4 o’clock but didn’t need to pick her grandson up til 5:00.
“I’ll make my way there today then,” said the boss.
Moral: treat your employees with respect and model how you want your employees to act.
