Maybe it’s the "I am doing this for free so I can be myself" All personal option below, Friday afternoon ramble Example when starting a new job, most people purposely hold back expressing themselves, they just want to fit in and keep people happy. There is a fear of over stepping boundaries, saying something that someone might take offensive all contribute to this “shut up and do your job”. The issue is that it’s hard to get a job, and people don’t want to rock the boat so heads down and work because the job is tied to their ability to live. The People at the games have nothing to lose, no expectations, they are free to enjoy and present themselves as they wish. Someone in a job at a desk in a call centre for a bank does not get that freedom and never will. The bank needs that person answering phones as quickly as possible to make their wall board stats look good so their managers can get bonuses. This whole article was interesting from the point of a small company and how a smaller company could empower its staff to enjoy their roles more and in turn the new hire staff they bring in would follow the same patterns. For main street corporates this is the last thing they want, cutting away efficiency for what? Staff that enjoy their jobs, ha-ha don’t be foolish drones are easier to control, also the people attracted to upper management jobs are generally in it for the money more than the “lets make a warm and happy team and all live happily ever after” The guy writing this bit was getting excited over the idea of an energized work force for free, everyone likes the personal touch however in customer service roles they are given scripts and told what to say and how they should say it and told that if they step out of line or say something that is wrong they could lose their incoming and in turn the ability to live their life (who has savings anymore?) until they get another hard to find job. If you do something for free you can do what you like, worse case you get sent home, in a job you can lose your job over expressing an option or spending too much time trying to help a single customer and in turn you lose your incoming (ability to live). No wonder people are more held back and reserved in their paying jobs than when they offer to do something for free. /ramble
