I have seen a workplace behavior. By what might be called the uneducated? But not always are they uneducated.
Whereby the push each other around. Insult each other. And then kind of feed of the fury that they created? Enjoy that you made someone simmer?
That just isn't the America I know. And it isn't the America I think that it should be.
And I believe a lot of violence is caused by just that. Inability to emotionally develop.
They push each other around. It is taken as a given. And it escalates to violence.
And no one can figure out why?
But you know what? If you believe in a melting pot theory. That is exactly what a melting pot is. So there is going to be violence. In other words you can't believe in a melting pot without expecting that there will be violence.
A melting pot being where the lower skilled, hood type, workers are melded in with the good? In hopes of? In hopes of what? In hopes of what dream? In hopes of fulfilling whose dream?
*****'
Workplace is, "This is why you do this. And this is why it is done this way. Look, I will even go so far as to demonstrate the correct way that is done. There is a valid reason it is done that way. And it needs to be done right now. There is no time for daydreaming here. There is no time for liquid lunches and tobacco breaks. When there are customers here at the business you help them. When there is a product in the storeroom and not on the shelf a customer wants to buy right then, you go get it! You don't view your job as an opportunity to personally insult, demean, cause your coworkers to leave by attrition day and night from your covfefe."
Now that last phrase of that last sentence? I would indeed recreate Wall Street with a new type of "Wall."
