Tonight I am writing about why we need to value the job that we have. For several times I have noticed my father having some one on one talk with his team. He was so stressed because some of his teammates were not doing well on the specific task given to them. He was their team lead on a specific project. My father works as a System Administrator and handles multiple project so it means multiple teams too. Since they are working from home, he finds time to check randomly if they are really online during their shift but somehow he was so disappointed for some because they tagged themselves as online but if he messaged them for some priority tickets, they could not answer immediately. It took almost an hour before that employee to answer on his queries. Another problem that he may encounter is filing of immediate leaves without advance notice. So last night I heard him talking all of them and telling them how fortunate they were for having the job despite this pandemic. I am just hoping they will realize the importance of having a job.
Jobs and Businesses during pandemic
Amidst the unexpected spread of Corona Virus many has lost their jobs to earn money and pay their bills, a lot of businesses lost their employees and has gone bankrupt too. The pandemic affected our daily lives, and this is one of its worst outcomes, losing an occupation. There are different kinds of it, as we all know. Jobs that does not require direct contact and the opposite. Unfortunately, majority of the jobs people are attending to, is the latter. Now, people are in a difficult state just to look for a job, may it be online, commission,services, and the like. There are also people who takes different jobs in a day just to earn money. This only shows how important one's job is, and how it will affect an individual if it is gone.
Getting a job is not an easy thing, for starters, you have to prepare papers related to yourself, of course. Also there are jobs wherein you cannot take if you haven't graduated or if haven't finished a specific degree. However, there are also jobs that doesn't need those papers of information about your scholastic records. For example, being a; construction worker, helpers, laundry (wo)man, etc. Thing is, you will only be receiving minimum wage unlike the salary of those who took white-collar jobs.
Jobs and discrimination
Since there are different kinds of jobs and how much money you can get from it, discrimination in it will always be present. People tend to look for ways just to feel superior to one another, just like on jobs, if their salary is higher than you, they tend to look on the type of work you're in. Although not all are like this but this thing is so common and inevitable. Best example is, being a waiters/waitress,vendors,and janitorial services and the likes. There are too many to mention actually. But of course, it doesn't work that way, whatever job you're in,you are deserving of respect. Even if your salary or wage isn't that high, it doesn't give any rights for others to discriminate you. Because at the end of the day, all of us are just earning and exerting the same hardwork and effort to make money. Different kind of jobs, different ways of handling them, and different difficulties the employees are facing. The reason why I see no importance in discriminating each other.
Closing Thoughts
Getting back , at this time of pandemic, there are only limited works one can get into,some of them even needs to sacrifice their safety against the virus just so they could earn some cash. That's why, we should value our job and our co workers as well.
