David Fyten's article - 2006/08/09 11:46 Observing the law of economy in your workplace

This is an interesting article, about when we might be stealing from our companies.

But I'm not sure it's *always* wrong to do my online banking while at work. What about if you're working long hours and have no personal life? How do you draw the line?

Does anyone have any experiences with this issue? How did you work it out?

Re:David Fyten's article - 2006/08/09 14:19 I like your article very much...I think that "what we cannot do in front of top-management should not be done"...I am a nurse of 32 years, and I have seen waste and also productivity...I think that as human beings we reap what we sow as they say -- so by intention we ultimately will in some way accumlate all the good or bad that we deliberately or unknowlingly commit...It is by choice that we make efforts to create our own benefits or struggles, I believe...If we are concerned as Americans about our jobs being out-sourced or the Mexican work-force taking our jobs, I pose a question, "Are we by our own non-caring giving others our work and our jobs?"...I think for us as the ones who are citizens we should consider how we value our work and how we make effort to do all in the work-place with professionalism, honor, diginity, and respect...

There is a little quote I wrote that I will share with you that I particularly like...
"God owns the garden, but He gave me a hoe."

Re:David Fyten's article - 2006/08/09 14:32 David,

I would like to share with a quote from my book "Words in Bloom" about work and responsibilty that came from my mother's teaching...

"To live unproductively is a waste, to live fully is a gift."

Blessings...

Re:David Fyten's article - 2006/08/09 15:13 Worla raises an interesting point. I work long hours and much overtime (unpaid) and there are times when because I'm at work all the time, I need to do personal things on the web or in email. It happens. But I've seen the other side when employees abuse the trust of the employer and use large chunks of time during the day to do personal web surfing during normal business hours and that isn't right. Surely the employer isn't paying someone to surf on the web one hour a day.

I'm interested to see other comments on this.

Re:David Fyten's article - 2006/08/09 15:38 To Tigger...

Something I have considered over my many years of working is the following little "brain-teaser"...If for every minute an employee steals on the job, God may extend his work life 2 minutes for each minute stolen so to speak -- Would this not extend the workers work-life in the long run? Furthermore, if an employee could see with spiritual eyes, would it not benefit him or her to work productively and make the most of the opportunity they have been given to share, work, and prosper? Also, I believe that retirement is not the goal of life, personally. My own aspirations are to move into another area of being productive and vibrant -- perhaps not in the active work-force, but at least in the work-force of God in continued service to Him --for there is an eternal goal to be met...I also am reminded as I tell myself each day that when I wake, I have a "halo" over my head; and if I am bad, God says to me, "Today you will be required to sit in the corner and polish your "halo"; and if I am good, I may go about my life, and my "halo" will shine as brightly as the sun...Therefore, since I prefer positive over negative, I prefer to take the road less traveled...Even though I certainly do sometimes get off the path, I do know that if I will cut through the under-brush of my non-compliance with correctness that I will again arrive at the path of rightness, provision, and joy...


From my book " Words in Bloom" I would like to share a quote that is significant to me -- "Every word and every deed have a consequence."

Blessings,
