Every job starts out from a positive perspective, whether that job represents hope, renewal, self-actualization, desperately needed income, or even a second chance. That initial momentum eventually shifts as a person settles into their job and becomes familiar with the requirements & expectations of the job, along with the working conditions, ethical standards, norms, & overall culture of the organization.Throughout the process of becoming acclimated to a new job & working environment there will likely be unexpected situations & circumstances that come up, & that is when the reality of the job begins to settle in.
Over the course of any typical job, there may be disputes or disagreements. There may be some colleagues who are easier to work with than others. For example, one person can be challenging to work with while another shows appreciation. Rarely is any job perfect & everyone has a particular level of what can be tolerated, whether or not it is consciously recognized and acknowledged. On occasion a new job, one that felt good at the beginning, can seem to go bad & if it does – it may seem to be beyond your control. But you always have a choice as to how you respond, whether you take flight, fight, or do nothing. The outcome of your action depends upon whether it was done from an emotional or rational perspective.Working with a wide variety of personalities, changing job requirements, demanding expectations, or stressful working conditions can challenge the established internalized threshold for what can be accepted. For many people it is a balancing act. As an example, the working conditions may be poor but the pay is good so the tradeoff is acceptable.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9421588
