Don't Take The Loyalty Of Friends and Subordinates For Granted: Treat Me Right By Pat Benatar




You know one of the things that really gripes me is the fact that some people are quick to forgive troublemakers for their misdeeds, but are tyranical to those who who work their butts off and stay faithful despite such treatment. A lot of times, the people who get screwed are the ones who follow the rules and do their jobs. When such treatment continues don't be surprised if one day, these loyal people get fed up and start to leave you. When that happens and you're left with the troublemakers, that's when you're going to regret how you treated these guys. Pat Benatar's song "Treat Me Right" always reminded me of that rule.

I guess that's one of the things that I seldom watch movies or tv shows because most of the characters are jerks who always get off the hook easily while some hard working extra gets left holding the bag. It maybe entertaining on the tube, but in real life it can piss people off. People who work hard and don't get any rewards are often the ones who get more crap poured on them. They're the ones who take the fall and to see them spiral down without any safety nets is some thing that I really don't find amusing. People like these are hard to find which is why we should do our best to take good care of them.

People like these should be taken care because they are the one who keeps the machine running. I'm not saying that we make a big show of every little thing that they do, but don't make them feel like everything that they have sweated was for nothing. A lot of times these people are the ones who clean up the mess caused by others and are abused during the process. They do it not only because it's their job but also because they take pride in what they do and care for the people they do it for. So, remmeber: for those who do good job, always treat them right.
