Simps fear competition in the workplace
from the man in front of him and the man behind him. If a man in the position
beneath his starts showing signs of promise they spend days nights worrying
about him “taking their job.”
Simps foolishly believe the notion that
an employer will “take” a position from him and give it to promising young
talent. However, this isn’t the case at all. Employers are not going to replace
a seasoned professional with experience for a less experienced person. While a
lower level employee may show promise, they still need time to learn the
company’s culture and get some experience under their belt before they’re ready
to take on the responsibilities of that more challenging position.
Unfortunately, most Simps are too
insecure to understand the process of growth and experience in the workplace.
Instead of focusing on moving themselves ahead, a Simp will worry about a man
in a position under his. And because he lacks self-confidence in his own talent
and abilities to he starts making efforts to sabotage another man in a lower
level position.
Some of the tactics a Simp will use to
sabotage a man under him is piling on the work. This is a passive aggressive
attempt to overwhelm a talented lower level employee to get them to resign.
Another tactic a Simp will use to
sabotage a lower level employee they feel threatened by is to pass their work
on to them. And then when the person they’re targeting fails to complete the
task, they then let a supervisor verbally abuse them. Again, the hope is after
being berated that the man he’s targeting will either be terminated or resign.
A third tactic a Simp will use to
sabotage a lower level employee they feel threatened by is to tell an employee
how someone else is better fit for the position than they are. In these cases a
Simp will talk about how the previous employee did the job, or how the company
needs to hire someone with a different type of background for the same job.
In addition to these tactics, a Simp will
do other passive aggressive things like “losing” documents, “forgetting” to
tell a lower level employee about meetings, and “hiding” information. All of
these tactics a Simp uses are meant to prevent a talented worker from doing
well on the job. And they not only undermine that employee, but the business as
well. In a Simp’s efforts to sabotage the potential of talented workers he
costs a business time, money, and productivity. Every employee that turns over
due to his insecurities costs that business money.
What Simps don’t understand is that
employees are an investment in a business. Every dollar a company spends on an
employees’ salary is supposed to pay off in productivity from that employee’s
labor. When a Simp sabotages those new workers with his passive-aggressive
tactics he is costing the company he works at money. As frustrated new young talent leaves that business and the
Simp “keeps” his job a business has to spend more money to hire and train new
employees.
If a business can’t retain talented
workers it can’t grow. Every employee that remains in the workplace profits a
business long term as they learn new skills and expand markets for that
business. It takes three to six months for a new employee to get acclimated to
a work environment. Thanks to a Simps’ unprofessional, passive-aggressive and
manipulative behaviors a business loses that investment in salary and time.
In the long term a Simps’ attempt to
“keep” his job winds up preventing a business from expanding. As the business
keeps spending money to hire to replace workers that turn over, it doesn’t have
the resources to focus on creating new markets and reaching new customers.
Smart men understand that no one can
“Take” a job from anyone. Employees in a business do not own their jobs, they
are hired to perform tasks by the employer. That agreement to hire them is a
business transaction where the employer offers employment in exchange for labor
that is compensated with wages. The only thing an employee is supposed to own
at the end of the process is their paycheck.
And under that agreement both the employer an employee can
decide to leave at any time they choose. If a man sees a position at a firm
that will help him meet his career goals, then he has every right to leave the
firm he is working at and take that position. While a Smart man is looking to
move ahead, a Simp is looking to stay one place and get comfortable. Because he
thinks like a female, he looks to nest in a workplace like it’s his home.
Smart Men understand that a job isn’t theirs to keep. And any
employment situation where he works for someone else is always temporary. Jobs
aren’t something an employer “gives” him, they are opportunities he uses to
gain skills, experience and develop contacts that will help him towards
achieving his professional and personal goals. Each job he takes is a stepping
stone towards moving him ahead. Once he achieves what he wants to achieve at a
business, he moves on.
Smart Men don’t work for companies, they
work for themselves. When a man works for himself he sets the course for his
career. Smart men have the confidence to go for what they want and achieve what
the want to achieve. Smart men don’t “Take” jobs from employers, they create
opportunities for themselves and open marketplaces that take a business to the
next level.
