Not good at your job!

 You know about a few people who are terrible at their job, but they are still in the organization and you wonder why?

Isn’t it better for an organization to be efficient?

Apparently not, you can see it in big corporations who hire many people and when the economic situation shifted they immediately fired them. But what about those few individuals who are still horrible at what they do and are still here to stay?

Most probably, their talent is their ability to stay, no matter what.

You might think that this doesn’t concern you, and it might be true if we are thinking about only one bad individual. What about having a team with 2 or more people like that?

Having more people like that in your team will lead to low morale for everyone. This is why you need to know in what kind of team you are part of and if you see more people like that, leave as soon as possible.

The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
