Overcome Assumption
Okay, so at work we have a new night supervisor. She started 4 weeks ago. She's 22 years old. Need I say more? Hold that thought for a moment.
I originally got hired on to work dayshift. I got to know everyone on that shift, including management, and they got to know me and how I work. I have been told numerous times that I am a hard worker. I have been told once by the manager herself. I must be doing something right. Right? I got asked to go to night shift . I happily agreed because my husband works nights, and a couple of other good reasons. I created a good reputation. I am not going to lie. Sometimes, I admit, I can be hateful. People at work know it too, unfortunately. But overall, I created a good reputation. Until I transferred over to night shift.
The new supervisor doesn't know me yet. Instead of asking me what I already know, she assumes I know how to do nothing because she is the supervisor and I am just the employee. She assumes I don't do a good job, and assumes that I am not a good worker. I work the same on nights as I did on days. Honestly, most nights I am working, I get really aggravated with her. Do I still do what I'm told? Of course. It's just, my pride likes to boil up every now and then.
The point I am trying to make here is, people will assume things about you even when they don't know you at all. But I have decided to prove her wrong. The bad part of me just wants to play stupid (she would like that I'm sure), and to just be what she thinks that I am. But the good part of me wants to prove her wrong. Good always wins. So that's what I have decided. I am going to show her just how good of a worker I can be. I will do my best not to complain, and will do whatever she asks of me. I will bite my tongue when this young immature supervisor, shows me how to do something I already know. I am there to work for God, and no one else. So I will do my best for God, no matter what obstacles are in my way. I encourage you to do the same. People are going to make assumptions about us. We can't live by them. We have to rise higher and prove them wrong. But most importantly, we have to work at achieving excellence at our jobs, because that is what we were called to be. Excellent. . When I work my best and hardest, God will take care of those pesky bugs that try to trip me up and ruin my reputation. God will always have your back when you do your best.
