The psychological make-up of co-workers can make or break an experience. Remember the following:
- Asking questions about why things are done in a particular manner is not appreciated when there are no good/logical answers.
- Trying to make things work better threatens those who are invested in doing things the old way.
- Fragile egos are a major roadblock to creative solutions.
- Those who are attracted to union positions may be focused on job security.
- Those who are attracted to tenure positions may be focused on job security.
- The work dynamic in a union/tenure environment may be impossible to change because employees are focused on job security and:
will not leave,
will not change,
will be difficult or impossible to remove.
