Employees become demotivated when, hired for a role which suggests authority, they have no power.
Employees become demotivated when they are to get permission for even simple things. When they have to wait until instructed, they are made to feel worthless.
They counter this by becoming worthless.
It is not just in an office people stop caring.
Whether at school, at home, in a club, on a team, in a church, when people feel they are unimportant, nothing, no one cares, they stop caring.
If someone is so demotivated, the best way is to start working on yourself. I know it from my own experience. But here is a problem – any business start-up needs money.
This is not a person who started a business is demotivated; it is when someone is working somewhere and made to feel so worthless they stop caring.
It’s true that when employers stop caring, the employees no longer care how they do their work.
If those ‘in charge’ don’t care, the business goes into chaos.
