#all that promotion and potential backbiting

All I want for Christmas is the time to write, the inspiration to write, and the courage to master the slings of outrageous social media in the nigh impossible chance I ever manage to write anything potentially worth publishing

Coworkers Are Not Your Friends...✍🏾

I have come to realize that many employed people make the mistake of confusing colleagues for friends. Just because professionalism calls for being friendly with everyone, it doesn't mean that everyone is your friend. Colleagues are wonderful people. In fact, it’s very okay to make friends at the work place, but most of us don’t know how to set boundaries as far as colleague-to-colleague relationships are concerned. Going to lunch, exchanging morning greetings and sharing jokes with colleagues does not qualify them to be your best friends. The truth of the matter is; there are no real friends at work!

It’s very important to realize that, although colleagues tend to have lots of things and interests in common, only collegiality and not friendship exists in the work place. It’s very obvious that the main goal of most people at work is progress. By increasing their visibility and gaining the right exposure, they will be in a position where they become visible to the relevant players in the organization. This will position them to win promotions and other favors with the supervisors. While some colleagues use legitimate and acceptable strategies to achieve such goals, others do it by any means possible; including using you as a stepping stone. For that reason, being friends with such colleagues will only mean more harm than good to you.

It’s essential also to note that there is a big difference between working with friends and making friends with the people you work with. Given the fact that it’s not possible to pick your colleagues the same way you pick your friends or job, you should not at any given time make a mistake of over estimating the friendship of your colleague at work. The colleagues at work might be friendly and jovial, but that doesn’t guarantee a firm friendship for life. But this doesn’t mean that you should stop socializing at the work place or be guarded and unreasonable in the work place. You should, however, be very clear and conscious about all the actions you take and the interactions you have at work. Building and developing relationships at work is not a social exercise. It’s only meant to help you achieve your professional and business goals. So in your effort to love your job and your colleagues don’t expect as much from them as you would from your friends.

Since you don’t get to choose your colleagues, you just have to make the best of it. The best way to avoid a toxic workplace friendship that could potentially derail your career is to be sure to keep your distance and learn to identify the tell-tale signs of the most poisonous personality types such as the betrayers, critics, backbiters, big mouths, the rival, the bad influence and the “under miner.” This will not only help in avoiding sour workplace relations but also strained and tense work environment. Also, you need always to act with integrity irrespective of what your colleagues think and you should at no one particular time, get emotional with them. If they have disappointed you, just take it as an opportunity to help you know how they think and operate. That way, you will be smarter about how to interact with them, and you will enjoy spending your days at your workplace.

Wondering if you've seen that FB post about Garcy&violence against women? What's your take on this? To me it's insane - I enjoy all kinds of weird shit in fiction, but don't wish it happened to me. I'm a bit concerned that our ship may never sail to the sunset 'cause of similar (exaggerated, in my opinion) voices. Aaaand... didn't I see the traces of psychological abuse in Lyatt/Wyjess?

Welp.

Disclaimer: I hate talking about/thinking about/participating in any way in fandom drama, and my policy for as long as my blog has existed has been to ignore it. Some people have to be very informed on it and reacting to it all the time and etc, and whatever works for them, but I just can’t do it. Fandom is my happy bubble and I take active steps to cut out that sort of energy, because it will mess me up. It’s one of the reasons I’m not on twitter. I am a serious introvert and sensitive person and just don’t have the spoons to constantly manage it. So.

That said, you asked, and I do have some thoughts on this, so this will basically be the post I make about it, and then go back to my happily oblivious corner.

Timeless was a very chill fandom, shipping-wise, in s1, and it was small enough (and ships were not the main focus of the plot, even if potential existed) that we mostly or entirely avoided ship wars. However, in s2, we had a lot more shippy content, angst for a main ship, a returned dead wife, a love square, the development of an enemies-to-lovers ship, and some open-endedness about how they’re going to treat the main ship going forward, all of which leads to more friction and backbiting in fandom. This happens to most TV shows, unfortunately, and Timeless certainly isn’t as bad as other fandoms that I’ve seen, but it definitely is not the same atmosphere that it was. Which is disappointing, but again, not surprising. You have vocal fans of one thing on twitter, and then vocal fans of another, and no firm announcement of season 3, so… yeah. The natives become restless.

As for Garcy, I honestly remember the exact same thing happening with CS for years. There were many vocal antis who called the ship abusive, that it promoted violence against women, that Hook was horrible/a rapist, etc etc, that it made Emma “weak,” that it sent a bad message, so on and so forth, and they spent a lot of time bombarding the showrunners with their views. (The whole OUAT fandom turned pretty toxic and cliquish the more the show went on, unfortunately, and was one of the reasons in me leaving.) This didn’t make much difference to the ultimate writing of CS; they still ended up married/endgame with a baby. Anyway, the point is, fandom noise, even if there’s a lot of it, doesn’t usually massively or unduly influence the showrunners’ writing decisions. It’s a little different with Timeless, since they are still talking about what to do in s3, but all of that has pointed to more focus on Garcy, not less. In his TiffTalks interview recently, Shawn Ryan didn’t pull punches in talking about how badly Wyatt screwed up and raising the question of whether it was too late for him to make it up to Lucy, and repeating about 500 times about Flynn’s feelings for Lucy and that being an important part of the show (and hinting that he has a different opinion on L/W from the fandom).

As well, there has been a serious surge of interest for Garcy this season (look, they asked MATT LANTER in an interview about the tons of support for Flynn/Lucy online, which… dude, what do you want the poor guy to say? He’s not involved in that ship and plays a character that is the opposing number to it. But anyway). As I said in my last ask, they wrote a certain amount of L/W content, and then cut or changed it, and treated the Garcy content in a way to make it clear that they wanted to preserve the canon possibility of them as something more than friends/partners. So yes.

I think the fandom reaction to every enemies-to-lovers ship, especially in the case of Garcy when it appears to threaten an established/main ship, reflects the tumblr “social justice fandom purity” culture, where everything that a fandom doesn’t personally like gets put through the “this is why my opinion is Woke” gristmill. In other words, it’s not enough that they don’t like Garcy (which is fine for them, honestly, people can ship whatever they want); they have to prove that it is Bad and Unhealthy (while, as you point out, being blind to valid textual criticism to be made of their preferred ship/male lead). Flynn stans criticize him freely and refer to him as the Garbage Lord (especially in s1), but as I have noted before, Wyatt is often shielded from the consequences of his actions both in canon text and fandom discourse, and they find even more thinly justified ways to bash on Flynn/Garcy instead. That is tiring, and it unfortunately does impact on my views of both the character and the ship. It’s also why I have to stay away from too much of it. I WANT to keep liking Wyatt and rooting for him, but to have his canon actions ignored and excused and twisted around is a little (or a lot) eye-rolling. It’s okay. We all stan fuckup characters. It makes them more interesting. But that doesn’t mean they’re not fuckups.

Honestly, there were many, many other ways they could have written this Jessica arc (as well as Flynn’s interactions with Lucy), but they didn’t. As I also keep saying, this kind of drama eventually happens in all fandoms, and Timeless did not escape it. Hopefully it can be prevented from getting too out of hand. But yes, the movement overall has been (far far more than I EVER expected) toward Flynn/Lucy, and I don’t know what the writers will decide on for s3. It is, however, not going to be influenced just by some annoying fans on facebook.

Corporate coaching is a rapidly expanding sector, owing to the growing awareness of the numerous benefits it can provide among savvy executives and entrepreneurs. Our corporate coaches will assist the company, whether it is a startup struggling to find its way in the world, a more developed company facing new challenges, or a long-standing company trying to remain relevant.

The Role of a Corporate Coach

Identify and address their most pressing business issues

Increase their profit margins

Define simple goals.

Come up with innovative solutions to problems.

Improved financial and development management

Change seems to be the only constant these days. Companies are merged, departments are merged, companies are restructured, and staff are relocated or laid off. How do you deal with such a situation? Many corporate coaches have real-world expertise that can be used to aid in the management of organisational change and the integration of new colleagues and tasks.

Resolving disagreements

You will not achieve your full potential if your employees are at odds with one another, with backbiting among managers and employees working in an untrustworthy atmosphere. However, for a number of reasons, such as people having different agendas, resolving conflicts in-house can be difficult. That's where a corporate coach comes in; his or her sole goal is to get everyone on the same page.

Trying to obtain top performance

Corporate coaches are well-known for assisting individuals at all levels to achieve optimum results. Some businesses believe that only executives can and should benefit from such coaching, but the truth is that employees at all levels can and should benefit from it.

Helping you invest in your staff

Investing in great people is the most valuable investment the business can produce. This includes everything from hiring the right people and keeping workers happy to grooming employees for promotions and assisting new managers in working well with others.

Creating a positive work environment

A successful company is one that is happy. Companies like Google and Zappos understand that this is about more than just a paycheck. Cutting-edge organisational coaching professionals can collaborate with the organisation to improve employee satisfaction.

Communication enhancement

It's sometimes necessary to bring in an outsider to see how corporate communications can be improved. Corporate coaching will help you develop your listening and communication skills so you can better understand your employees – and so they can better understand you.

Managing stress

Stress is unavoidable, but when managed properly, it can be beneficial. Instead of worrying about your work, we will provide you with stress management strategies that will make you and your staff more efficient.

A professional corporate coach will help you succeed in the workplace and achieve long-term, measurable results. A Corporate Coach will provide you with the tactical preparation and multi-dimensional approach you need to deal with the most pressing challenges that businesses face today—especially in difficult economic times.

When to See an Astrologer in Your Life

Stresses and worries are parts of any normal human life. Different people have different types of stresses. Some people have financial worries, and some have family issues; while other people are worried about their health or education. So, these stresses are the parts and parcel of life. However, sometimes the amount of pressure becomes excessive. People become completely puzzled and have no clue what they can do or which way to choose.

In such circumstances, they look for help or support. It seems that if they know their future, then it would be easy for them to handle the present. This is the reason most of the time people opt for professional astrologers. When you are looking for the top astrologer South Delhi, then you must know when you can see them or in which conditions these professionals can be a real help.

Seeking Answer

This is the most common reason for going to an astrologer. In many occasions, people seek an answer of their distress. They want to know the cause and the remedy for their problems. Thus, they wish to visit an astrologer who can tell them why these things are happening in their lives and how they can overcome the same. When you wish to know something, or get an answer to a question bothering you, then you can fix an appointment to a professional astrologer and take his help.

Getting Suggestions

Sometimes you know the answer or the way you should choose to go to your destination but cannot decide whether you should proceed or not. In such cases, an astrologer can help you with his suggestions. He studies your palm or your horoscope to calculate the potential result of an individual task. Then he can suggest you whether you should do that task or not. For example, before marriage people in India go to the astrologers with the horoscopes of the bride and the groom to see their compatibility and then determine whether they should marry each other or not.

To Get The Remedy

In many cases, you know the problem but do not know the solutions. For example, you know that you are not getting promotion in your office because of the backbiting of some of your colleagues. But you do not know how to overcome this issue. Hence, you find out the names of the top 10 astrologers of your city and meet one of them to get the remedy of this issue. You achieve your success soon when you follow his instructions in life.

No matter for which reason you are seeking the names of the top astrologers of your city, it is important to meet someone efficient, experienced and highly qualified about the subject. Astrology has different sections, and he must have a complete sense of all of them to serve his clients in the most satisfactory and useful way.
