Friday is usually a day where I spend some time to survey what happened during the week, things that are important and other things that I found interesting. Here are some random thoughts.
Church on Sunday focused on Hebrews 12:14 "Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord." This was pretty convicting for me. I have a tendency to be sarcastic. Is that an action that is in alignment with finding peace with everyone? Probably not, much like anger, ego and resentment, all that I can better manage.
I read a social media post by Harvey Mackay noting that 60% of high school students admit to cheating, 52% of employees admit to theft of office supplies and 43% of sore merchandise losses are due to employee theft. Pretty disturbing.
In working with a client this week my contact became upset because I was not "respecting their process." That process works fine. The issue is procrastination and lack of communication. It is tough to recruit and hire in today's market with employee shortages. A clearly defined process with timely action and clear communications is expected by those that you are considering hiring.
CNN reported that companies are rushing to implement robots into their workforce with orders of 29,000 being placed through September. That is a 37% increase vs 2020. The shortage of staff won't last forever but the use of robots will. Make sure that you are always improving your skills/knowledge so that you can't be replaced by technology.
That's it for the week! Enjoy the weekend!
