Another Reason We Do What We Do Here
If you’d like to know why I put this show together- and I suspect why you listen- check this out from www.management-issues.com:
Increased anger and loss of humour amongst people in the workplace are just two of the knock-on effects that businesses now have to deal with due to poor workplace health, according to new research.
The ‘Quality of Working Life’ report published by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and Workplace Health Connect uncovers a high number of physical and psychological symptoms and highlights the impact these have on business performance.
The survey questioned 1,541 managers in the UK revealing a poor picture of health, with only half believing they are currently in ‘good’ health.
Four out of 10 (43 per cent) admitted to feeling or becoming angry with others too easily and nearly a third (31 per cent) confessed to a loss of humour creating workplace pressures. READ MORE HERE.
One of the ways the weasels get us down is to suck all the fun out of things. LAUGH AT ‘EM! It only makes them crazier.

Wayne,
I am a first level supervisor of 24 people - half of whom work on the night shift. One day I was having a particularly bad day with a couple of my people. As I was getting all worked up and upset about the issues, I suddenly heard your voice from somewhere in my head say “Don’t let the weasels get you down.” It definitely helped!!
Thanks for keeping it fun!

Rob, glad I could help, although hearing my voice in your head can’t be a good sign. At least you can identify the voice in your head….there are so many in mine it’s hard to pick one out. Thanks for listening.
