DO THAT WHICH YOU EXPECT

What a world we live in.
 A world where everyone wants something.
But nobody stops to think twice.
We all want but we never give
We are all alive but never live
Masquerading as angel, yet preach no peace
What a world we live in.

Give me that let me eat
I know my rights but I do not care about yours
I am right and perfect, so I can judge
Everyone is on my side so I do as I please
The only victim in this life is me
So I will do as I please and no one will protect you
And if you ever retaliate you will become the monster
I want to protected yet I feast on the unprotected
This I say because this is the world we live in
Oh What a world we live in.

Forgive me for it wasn't my fault
Even if it was, I have to blame someone
I am to perfect and proud to be wrong
Forgive me but I won't forgive you
I never stop to think twice
Why should I be forgiven if don't forgive
Why should  I be loved if I cannot love
Why should I be protected when I do not protect
Why should I be given when I do not give
What a world we live in

No, I cannot think of such things
Such things will make me realise I am selfish
Such things will make me realise I am self centered
Such things will take away my privileges
I can't afford to not be a brat
I can't lose my entitlement
I feed and strive on it
What a world we live in

I expect so much and do too little

And that is the summary of the world we live in.


WITH LOVE...

RESTRAINT OF TRADE

A company that retains its employees by limiting their ability to move to other companies, through unreasonably tight 'non-competes' or 'restraint of trade' contracts, does itself more damage. Most likely a worker will be unhappy, and thus work inefficiently. Furthermore, such employee will discourage anyone trying to work there. Word of mouth travels fast. If the employee ever finds a way of escaping, they will cause more damage on social media and the internet as a whole, through honest reviews of their experience. 

Some companies go as far as using these agreements as a way to pay their employees less competitive salaries. By limiting the employee's chance of leaving to a better company within a financial viable geographical location, the employee has no choice but to stay within the employment of such a company that enforces such agreement. They realise that if they want to work for another company/organisation within their field, they would have to relocate.

 Restraints of trade are fair and understandable in term of protecting company IP, but when they are used to trap employees and pay them less, they become a double edged sword which hurts both employee and employer. These employees who feel trapped become cancers which destroy the company from within.

Giving employees freedom in the workplace also frees their minds to come up with new ideas. Happy employees have no reason to leave a company. Sometimes they will be so loyal that they stay with a company even if another is promising them a little bit more in terms of pay, because they are happy and satisfied where they are. Strive for employee satisfaction.

It's time to let go
