The Supervisor says, " You have to do the mail desk because no one else is available".
The Employee hears, "I need your help on the mail desk because you are the only one who can do it correctly".
Hearing in this manner allows the employee to perform a mundane and thankless task and still feel needed and useful even though they are actually being made the scape goat of the department.
If You are told, " Your raise this year is only 1% due to current shortages on the budget. We are hoping we can offer more next year".
But you hear, "Thank you for accepting only a 1% increase. Your sacrifice will improve working conditions in our department and will be make you eligible for the highest raise possible next year".
SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP - THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION! THIS IS HOW A POOHNAMI GETS STARTED!
Every department has one! The busy baker! They work 10 hours a day, commute an hour each direction and bring fresh (Home Made) baked goods for the department at least once a week!
BEWARE ! THIS PERSON HAS TO BE SLEEP DEPRIVED! THEY WILL MAKE GREAVOUS ERRORS THAT WILL NOT APPEAR TO BE THEIR FAULT (THE SUPERVISOR'S BLOOD SUGAR IS OUT OF WACK) AND SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE BLAME. BE SURE TO CYA HERE!
A suggested CYA Technique for this situation is to find out what the supervisor does not like. Then make sure the "Busy Baker is convinced it is his/her favorite!
