7 Skull-Crushing Disadvantages Of Jobs

 This blog post is not only for the artists like me or you but also for those employees who feel exhausted on the job desk but can't quit it. Many employees have a business plan or a freelance idea at the back of their minds, but they hesitate to leave the sucking job. The main reason behind it is monetary benefits. 

A Frustrate Employee Trapped By Unrealistic Deadlines

Yes, a start-up business does involve many uncertainties and may also include a "broke" phase at times. But, it is worth it if you can see a big vivid picture of its success and the long-term benefits that also involve "money." All you need is patience. I have excavated five key reasons why the job culture sucks! If your interest is piquing to know more, hop in, let me drive you through the job drawbacks one by one.  

1. "How Much" And Not "How!" 

I have seen all these years that the corporate projects focus on "how much" rather than "how." The project heads assign the daily, weekly, and monthly targets to the employees/slaves and force them to do it at any cost. They judge every employee's efficiency based on how much they work rather than how they work. The horrible bosses want the outputs in time. In such a scenario, there is no growth. Just the deadlines are met and the pockets are filled. 

2. The Chain Of Pressure From The Client To Employees 

Even the newly joined candidate changes his/her behavior after years of experience. He is harassed by his seniors and later he harasses his juniors to release the pressure off his shoulders. These pressure jobs continue from the CEO to the clerk. Even the polite workers, the good boss, and everyone related to the company transform into yelling morons under the burden of deadlines.

I have been to a job where my senior colleague used to watch funny videos on YouTube with his juniors when there was no work. But the same senior converted himself into a bloodthirsty vampire to bully his juniors when the boss put the workload on his shoulders. Doing this may get the work done. But the joy of getting the tasks completed is frankly less than the unhealthy vibes created due to excess rush. 

3. No Leisure Time 

Working overtime for the greed to stand out in the corporate sectors is taking a heavy toll on the employee's effectiveness. You may say that it increases the working capacity. But that's the wrong method to measure the work capacity. The rest and leisure time is essential to make an office worker work with full awareness and not just for the sake of working. 

As said by Stefen Covey in his book, '7 habits of highly effective people,' - an ideal organization should focus on production capability and not just on production. He explained this with a story of the goose that laid the golden eggs. For the greed of getting many golden eggs at once, a man killed the goose. He could neither get the goose nor the golden eggs back again. 

It is a clear explanation that the employees are treated like robots with no feelings in many non-successful companies these days. Without a proper balance between work and break, the employees will work half-heartedly.

4. The Customer Is God And Employees Are Donkeys

Yes, the Customer is God. But the employees are not donkeys. But this monkey business is carried in an organization until at some point the CEO realizes that it is bringing down the graph of progress. The boss of the employees wears two faces. One face is reserved for the customer and the other face pops out as soon as the customer whom he/she treats like a Greek God leaves the scenario. 

This kind of prejudiced behavior can get the increments, favor the boss, win the performance award, and enhance the so-called corporate personality. But in the long run, such a two-faced character is considered fraud due to his/her unethical behaviors towards his juniors or employees. 

5. Creativity Sucks - Manufacturing The Professional Puppets 

Friends, I can write a novel on this section of the blog. One who thinks he can give sheer freedom to his creativity at a job is wrong. Jobs are meant to fill the pockets. There ain't any room for your creativity to sprout out. If in case it does, it is smashed by the deadlines' feet which are as giant as that of an elephant. 

In jobs, bossism is like a dictator, and the so-called set of rules sucks. There are very rare jobs on this planet that offer creative freedom, especially to artists. The picture of the entertainment industry looks colorful on a superficial level, but a lot of so-called artists cum slaves spend sleepless nights inside the flashy studios with their eyes turning red still wide open, and an overall distressed physique. 

In this way, an artist enters into a self-styled firm and emerges as a professional puppet, wearing a tie and controlled by the nasty narcissist who is not the leader but a boss. Such a professional puppet is then ready to lick the avaricious ego of his/her boss. 

6. Conveying a Wrong Picture 

When a candidate qualifies in an interview, the representatives of the company or the boss himself/herself convey a wrong picture of the company. I passed such an interview where I was told that there will be a holiday on Sunday and the working hours are 8 to 9 hours. Surprisingly it was just the first day of the job and only the first week's Sunday after joining where the company followed its words. Right from the second day till the last day of my job, I worked overtime and got sleep-deprived. 

Apart from the first Sunday, all the Sundays were filled with work. This may not be the case with all the jobs. But the result is the same, i.e. they convey the wrong picture to the candidate. Some jobs say that you will get to work on what you like but later offer multiple other jobs. Some jobs lie about the company's reputation, some about the work environment, and others about the salary increments. 

All in all, the types of pictures may differ but all the types are fake. This policy completely lacks integrity and must be ruled out.     

7. Corporate Politics 

The dirty politics can turn out to be the worst-case scenario in the job culture. In many corporate jobs, salary increments and promotions are not estimated by the work efficiency or talent but rather by the one who favors the boss, never says no to the boss, and licks the arm-pits of the boss. 

Such kinds of lickers envy the success of their colleagues and play dirty politics behind their backs by making a wrong impression about them in the minds of their boss. They don't argue with the boss even if the boss is wrong. Such a lack of honesty can create problems in the long run. That's how even a fancy-looking corporate and commercial skyscraper can hide a lot of shady politics into its walls. 

I'm neither a complete anarchist nor a complete anti-consumerist but an anti- professional who's tryna warn the people to get rid of the dungeon of job-bound professionals so that they can enjoy the freedom of creative expression and set an ideal example of creationalism rather than professionalism without giving a fuck about the norms of a so-called decent job.
