The good and the bad in the corporate culture

The corporate culture is not totally bad, even if a difficult one it has its positive aspects, like anything else in life; and a few of these positive aspects are the paradoxes it reveals in the organizations. One of this is the exceptionality of the good and the normality of the mediocrity, which should be something obvious; since the good is something to look for, and thus becomes the center of thinking, like the bad is relegated to the periphery. 

That means that workers and managers tend to be mediocre if not bad, as people who looks at the organization as a way of life and not as a life’s project. Which is not only natural but is also fair, because the organization is not their personal property but the source of their income; the only owner are the real owners, not the rhetoricals. That’s why managers and workers in general could mistrust good managers and good workers, not because the competence but the disturbance they creates on the organizations. As a result, managers and coworkers could downplay the good ones, looking for a smoothly pace of work, that becomes frustrating for that good ones.

Of course, if a good one is good enough it will fight for his way of work but should know what will comes to his way; for sure, he will not have the support of his manager or supervisor, although some of the big ones could sympathize and lend a hand in tough times. The problem is that good workers doesn’t work for that big fish but for a smaller and a mediocre one. It’s here when that worker or even manager need to know that he is not working for the organization but for himself and need to wise chose his battles. That’s means, to stay or not on the organization but for himself, and whichever he decides will be as good as himself.
