You thought it was about you, lol.
Now seriously, just watching The Apprentice.
Took me back to my school days.
In the final of the Apprentice the two finalists had to
choose 2 teams. It was cringeworthy, humiliating IMO
where the last few were left standing as the leaders chose a person each.
The above took me back to my school days, I hated the choosing bit
as I was rubbish at Football as I hated it and ok but not outstanding in
all the other sports we played and we played almost all of them.
Re football I was always left until the few.
The Apprentice, the contestants going through that is being publicly
humiliated as I see it easially those left until last. In their case they had an option
but at shcool and at work you don't.
At work we were on training more than we worked, lol. That's the council for you but
I told our manager I was not going through that thing where 2 or several people chose their team. Guess what, the managers agreed with me and we had volunteer leaders and I never volunteered and the teams were randomly chosen eG going around and giving numbers etc and you ended up in that number team. Much better.
In schools, I'm not sure if they still chose teams like they did in the Apprentice but it can
mark you for life as some kids always come last, not because they are not good or even better than the other but their face does not fit in.
If it does still go on in schools it must be outlawed and if it happens in your workplace and you have the guts, speak out like I did.
A couple of close friends of mine refused to watch the Apprentice as it reminded them too much of the bullying, put-downs, back stabbings, lying etc at work.
TBH, I love watching the show but it's getting boring but it does take me back to school and work. Thankfully (though it did not feel like it at the start) being a victim of bullying etc at work and school made me into a stronger man. It was speaking out, taking the lead takes a lot of guts when you are complaining re so-called management and their cronies but then other victims come and speak to you and if they have what it takes they join you to put a stop to unfairness at work.
Therefore, if you have meetings, away days at work and you are going to be split into a group, and you are often lead or one of the first chosen, consider your workmate how they feel being left behind. There are much better ways of choosing teams other than in the humiliating way as mentioned in this thread.
So do your bit at work/school and be prepared for clowns to take the p but it will make you
a stronger and better person.
Btw, when I was younger, I did not care too much about others other than some of my family
but for some of us as we get older we become wiser fact. Since the age of early twenties, people have often said to me that I'm actually quite a wise, caring, good, decent man/guy. When most are older, we then think about others more than we think about ourselves.
Many thanks
