Speaker 1: Arrow dot net is more than just a podcast. It
is a podcast network. So far, it's twenty different podcasts,
one of them being vocal dfrag. Come on, you do
it every day. You're always asking other people what do
you think? How do you think I should do this?
What color goes best with this color? Hey? Sometimes you
got to stand on your own two feet and ask
your own questions, then question the answers. It's called vocal defragging.
It will change your life. It's on Arrow dot net,
Rroe dot net. Enjoy the exploration. I'm the guy that's
always asking questions. And the reason why is because the
fund begins when you start researching for answers such as
what is the best way to work with somebody who
obviously has consumed the corporate kool aid? Plus peaceful ways
to be you without selling out to those making decisions.
My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I call it the daily Mess. It is
a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my
morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We
as people tend to throw things to the side because
we think we're going to deal with it later on.
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture itself becomes clearer.
This is the daily mess. We all have them. We
all question how we're going to deal with him. But
what is the best way to work with somebody a
co worker who has been consumed by the company's Jesus
juice or company kool aid. The key is not to
fight the kool aid person, just don't get it spilled
on your shirt. But is there a peaceful way to
create side by side with someone who has chosen to
go overboard with their okay love for the company, and
make sure that we're playing by all the rules. In
other words, they have drank the kool aid and usually
isn't too shy to remind you when you've done something wrong.
The golden rule is to revert from all things that
come across as a challenge. Do not go into an
uncomfortable situation alone company kool aid. People don't see work
as their job. It's a huge part of their personal
lives as well, which means what well if you're caught
knocking the company, you're pretty much cutting them down as well.
They take it very personal. Instead of saying that policy
doesn't work with me, walk into a very bad situation.
Invested in locating how the current leadership would want this
to take place. You were not redirecting bad energy, not
opposing it. Just be aware of what you're saying to
all people. Because kool aid people, they've got tributaries. In
other words, they got people on the sidelines that are
still watching you. God. Hey, coming up next, when struggling
with those co workers who have obviously swallowed the kool aid,
how can we peacefully find solutions and find a victory? Hey,
thanks for coming back to the daily mess. When struggling
with co workers who have drank the company kool aid.
Although it feels unbelievably uncomfortable for those who have said, ah,
I'm not walking that way, the thing about it is, though,
is that you've got to learn to speak their street.
The positive conversations include mission statements, values, leadership visions, and
company key buzzwords. Oh yeah, the stuff that you tend
to roll your eyes over. You might have to put
that in your daily vocabulary when you're at work, you're
on their lay of land and within those four walls
of business and not pleasure. You always have to use
your words strategically. You don't have to believe it. You
borrow their dialect. Stop being the messenger, give it to them.
As one radio morning show once told me, the goal
is to learn how to cuddle up to where the
money is. Kool aid drinkers, oh, they know the way
to money. Don't let it affect the workday. Your job
security doesn't need a huge dent put in it. Keep receipts,
not resentment. Stay human, don't go cynical. Loyalty comes from fear, gratitude,
and survival. Kool aid drinkers are at work and they
want to play it safe. Don't outsource your thinking. When
you stay professional, you stay employed. Don't drink the kool aid,
but respect those who are just flat ass drunk with it.
I'm Marrow and that's the daily mess
