About the working life and disappointments

Kimmo Huosionmaa

When we are hiring our employees, we might always forget one golden rule. We can't ever hire our bosses, we are always hiring our henchmen, and that is the reason, why we must ever make the mistake of hiring our friend to our company. When we are hiring somebody in the firm, we must understand, that this person is below us on the ranking list of that firm, and if we are the persons who made that recruitment, we are this person's superiorities.

And we must be sure, that person who is hired by the company does the jobs, and if this employee would not fit the team, we must kick this person off the firm. The problem of hiring the friend or member of the family is that if that employee would not follow the orders or our superiorities make the decision, that this is not the right person for the team, will that break our relationship with our friend.


If we promise too much, and we can't keep our promises, we will cause most terrifying disappointment, what the person can ever imagine. The thing about the working life is that we are human ourselves. We are not perfect, but if we are hiring somebody, we must be sure that the disappointment in the life is not too heavy. If the person is an adult, the person must stand for disappointments.


But too much is always too much. When we are talking about disappointment, we normally think that kick off the job is a big disappointment. We ever think that if our friend will become our boss, will that change our relationship forever. We can't visit our bosses home as we might want. And also other members of the working community might spurn us if we got our job from our family's friend. That is the reason, why we must always think if some of our friends send us the job application. In that case, we must remember, that become the boss of some our friends in the working life, will change our relationship forever.
