The Lost Art of Realism

Spend as much time as you would like blaming others for the feedback you receive, however, that feedback is their reality of you right now. When you receive a written warning, realistically, the company is unhappy with your job performance. Pay attention to the warning, instead of believing it will go away or it won't have a final consequence. The warnings are a requirement of today's litigious world to protect the company from their employees. The failure of your previous bosses to actually hold you to standards will not protect you from the one that intends to do it now. This is your livelihood and your responsibility to respond to the formal feedback from the company. It isn't a game that you want to lose due to lack of interest. A few posts ago, I said I would go out on my proverbial feet with my soul clearly intact. Don't leave in a jesters hat with only your incredulity to fuel your thoughts. If you prefer to gamble your job on the potential that someone won't follow through, good luck to you. There is one simple guarantee from me to you; your time for follow through is coming, stay frosty.
