conversing on employers

Today at the office we were discussing employer types, pros and cons of working with and for them. We shared instances;

One type is the employer with no people skills, has angry encounters in dealing with situations, lack of integrity, poor business practices, and yet expecting you to show up for work with a terrific desire to make them successful while incurring demeaning comments, degrading reviews.. The adult acts like a bully and the young adult doesn't react well to it. Toxic. Desiring you to want to excel beyond what they train you to do or are allowed to perform and than they degrade you for not being there yet.... This individual claims to be christian, yet they do not exude any bit of Jesus. Pay remained minimal, which went along with being told your replaceable, worthless..... After the end of the relationship, they still are out to slander you to future employers with complete untruths and to acquantances. But they seem the worse for wear in that they have a life that is bitter and sad and not so profitable. The ex employee struggles afterward for awhile, but is relieved it's over.

On the other hand, a different employer in the same line of work.. Lays out what is expected of you, treats you respectfully, pays you a terrific wage and a look into what the future could hold for you in the long run. You work hard and are rewarded quickly in pay. They than ask if you will purchase some of the tools for yourself for the job to be a lead, consider a bigger truck to pull a trailer and than give you a payraise toward this end. Will you work 8-12 hour days - yes gladly, sometimes weekends- yes gladly. They teach you every skillset you are not strong in presently, they train you to do more skilled craftsman features like staining wordwork, building vanity furniture, tiling.. overall, they make you a better employee by bringing you along for the future of yourself and for the success of their company. They hold business dinners, including you in discussing how well they/you are doing, new jobs they have coming up and that they want to help each of them to make a good living and are very pleased with the way they all work together. The bonus is that they are Christians who model Jesus in every area both on the job and in private life. They mentor and encourage, hold a weekly breakfast bible study with the employees. This same individual is a better person, and is highly motivated to do better in every part of his life. And the company he works for is completely blessed by the Lord.

We all have Jesus name on us, do we wear it well and reap blessings.. or do we wear it poorly and reap despair? It is our choice and an important one for many of the fruit of the spirit; joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self control..
