"New" - A Little Respect

Warning! This post may be what is called "a rant" because, I'm angry.

If someone is new on the job, don't treat them like their stupid, like they have no sense and don't assume that they haven't done the position they are on before. Especially if they have been there for about 2-3 months now! For that fact I wouldn't even call them new anymore! and especially if the job is something specific (In my case a movie theatre) I'm sure no one would work there if they didn't have a passion for movies or at least have some interest in them, so they have a basic understanding of busy days and non-busy days.

If they do something and you go to change whatever they did, let them know. Talk about it and figure out why they did that. Don't assume they did it wrong or they did it that way because it was they're choice, because they're "new" they were highly likely taught that by a leader or manger.

And another thing! Don't treat the person as if they're lower than you just because they are a "new" employee. If something is dirty and moldy and its been like that since before they even got there, you clean it! 'Cause I'm sure it wasn't them who made the mess, if a new employee makes a mess you better believe they are cleaning it up right away if they wanna keep their job! Don't make them do all this stuff that's not even part of the job, they ain't your slave!

Don't make them do things you wouldn't or want to do! They are just as must as an important employee as you are and just as much as a person! And if they just want to take a quick 30 second breather, allow it! 'Cause I'm sure everyone has taken longer!

Also if they say hi, say hi back! At least make an effort to make conversation! And not just give them orders!

All I'm saying is just treat them with respect! Is that too much to ask? I'm sure we have all been "new" once in our lives and its one of the most, if not THE most awkward experiences you will ever have! The others making jokes and bringing up past events that either you don't know or weren't there for! Having to keep asking questions when you don't get something or remember it, making mistakes.

Don't make it worse by being one of those people stuck-up, "big dog" people. Help them out with a smile and be genuine about it. That's all I'm saying.

Okay...I'm done.

Sorry for the rant and this kind of post, its not me but I just had to let it out or I was going to explode! Clearly, I was talking about work, its been hard a couple of weeks and as much as I love working at a movie theatre, some people are making it hard (no its not just me).

My next post should be a book review so look out for that.
