Keeping Everyone Happy - A Job To Change Or Quit



Keeping Everyone Happy - A Job To Change Or Quit
   

Here’s one of the most popular jobs (or roles) that stays filled in any economy. Perhaps it’s one you have too?

Keeping Everyone Happy

Job Description – This is a part-time to full time position depending upon the needs of the individual or group you are responsible for. Situations include: managing conflicts, group plans, and interpersonal relationships. Person typically operates solo with the possibility of sporadic assistance. No guarantees.

Requirements

You must have the ability to:

~ Read minds

~ Creatively problem-solve

~ Anticipate needs

~ Resolve conflicts quickly

~ Keep the peace

~ Figure out how to fix things

You must also possess degrees of mental/emotional and physical dexterity to:

~ Put out fires

~ Turn yourself inside out or upside down

~Spin on a dime

~Place yourself on the back burner

~Bend over backwards

~Turn the other cheek with a smile

~Let things roll off your back, and

~Carry others on your shoulders

(love the clichés! )

You must be reachable in case of an emergency (or a perceived one), so keep your cell phone on. Communications skills are a plus, although not required. Working vacations are not uncommon.

On the job-training is offered. This is a volunteer position with variable benefits.

Applicants welcome. Job fills quickly.

While I meant this article to be funny, I’m serious about the topic. Taking on this role can be very costly to your health, self-esteem, well-being, quality of life……… There is a difference between supporting someone to create their own happiness and assuming that responsibility is yours to bear.

~ If your desire is to help others by being in service to them, how will you accomplish that if you intervene in an attempt to save them from an experience?

~ How do you know what that person might need to learn in order to become the person they are meant to be?

~ Do you assume the responsibility of deciding what someone needs to experience? (PSST - we call that helping when it’s really to ease our own discomfort at being a witness. I call that arrogance and playing God.)

Do you already have this job (role)?

Is it time to give it up or change your position?

Have a great day!
