There are many ways to demotivate the staff. These are only two examples.
Lisa arrived at the office, full of life. She noted, after working only a week, that there were particular rules which were clumsy and time wasters.
She thought to mention it to her supervisor who couldn’t care less what Lisa thought.
This hurt her feelings.
After another week, Lisa decided to take advantage of the same rules, which resulted in her cutting her actual work day from a full seven hours to a easy five.
She wasn’t ‘unworking’ she was simply following the rules.
Eddie realised that the way supplies were distributed had a lot of ‘holes’. He through about speaking to his employer, but was chased away as a fly, as the employer was ‘busy’.
He felt demeaned, insulted, so shrugged and began to take supplies, from thumb drives to pads to packs of coffee.
If in the cases of Lisa and Eddie someone listened to them, gave them respect, then the company would have saved a lot of money.
Instead of making them feel prized, their opinions valued, they were demotivated.
