What's up with excuses these days! Everyone seems to have one. Employees are giving excuses for not coming to work, for staying home, blaming their employer for something! What is our society turning in to? I know for me, everyone is so drained by what is being said on talk radio, the news, and by the media in general.  The economy is afraid to spend money which has a direct impact on both employees and their employers. Employee's are looking for a stable society and economy so they can work and go home to their families. Instead the media is making people frustrated and stressed.  When employee's moral goes does so the employee's productivity. It's extremely difficult when employees are surrounded by negativity every where they go or turn. I have learned that despite everything that is in the media, I stay positive for myself and the people I am surrounded by. The only way to be successful is having a good attitude and not let others bring you down.  Everyone is suffering in their own way right now because lets face it everyone is effected by what is going on whether your salary has decreased, you can't pay your mortgage, stock is down, your 401k is down, but I look at the end result.  I have my family and my health so I am spending more time with them.  What is more important than that these days.  It's always been important but it seems we loose site of what's in front of us.  Sometimes it takes hard time to realize what you have is just materialistic. When you are happy, it's contagious just like laughter and it spreads.  Be positive and surround yourself around others with the same attitude and you will see how much this will change your life- that what's up with me!
