Giving our all

"Gone are the days when we can scold your staff," Juliana moaned. "Nowadays when we tick them off, the next thing we know, they file a complain to HR."

Currently, when a manager demands his subordinates work so hard that they actually hurt, the manager is branded a tyrant or sadist.

These days when you ask employees to make a sacrifice they think it means mortgaging their houses.

If we, in our work, are not pushing ourselves to our limits everyday, then we're just another salary-stealing punk who's tagging as a passenger.

Those who endure pain learn about themselves. Their limitations, the full extent of their abilities and how to motivate themselves. Also they will become, rightfully, proud of themselves and of other team members. They will develop self-respect for the team.
