2 Years With Wink.com Today
Wow, I can’t believe I have been working for Wink for exactly 2 years today. With all the dramas and many changes, I survived the tides. When I was in Yahoo, there’s a tradition that every 2 years, you are given an option to look for a job in another business unit. They believe that employees fall into boredom after that period of time. Whether it be at what they do or they get sick and tired of working with the same people every day. So instead of loosing a valuable employee, they encourage them to look for a new opportunity within the company. Anyway, that’s definitely not gonna work with Wink because we are just a 9 employee company. Oh no, so what do I do now? I’m fine right now and most likely to keep my job. There is really no such thing as a perfect job so you just have to learn to cope or you will be looking for a job as often as you change your underwear. I think I’m old enough to know on how to deal with people and politics at work. Been there, done that! Here are my little random secrets that I developed to stay upbeat at work.
- Always stay positive in life
- Always have a goal and stick to it
- Start your morning with a smile and keep it for the rest of the work day
- Always do something productive even if the work is slow (doesn’t have to be work related, at least you are doing something)
- Be nice to everyone at work (smile, smile, and smile…)
- Don’t let your coworkers affect your life. Remember, it’s just work!
- Don’t take your work personal, they don’t go well together.
- If someone is putting you down, smile and just walk away
- Keep arguments to a minimum (can’t avoid it at work). Don’t make it a habit.
- Do something else outside of work. Dude, get a life!
- This helps too… exercise. It doesn’t matter what kind, it is a stress reliever
I know there’s more, but i gotta go back to work before I get fired… lol.
