Long day today, information pills its just been moving fast this week this whole month even. I can’t belive August is fi
nally over and now we start with Sept. It is a sad feeling knowing that summer is over. I really enjoy
ed the empty streets, and just how it feels in Kuwait during the summer.

It is strange how people some how have to leave Kuwait during these months. I know they always complai
n about the heat and stuff but this year was much cooler than last year. I dont think I recall seeing
my car temp go over 50. Last year it would easily hit 55 and stay there for a couple hours.

I am already dreading the school days coming, the traffic and the people in the morning. Ugh going to
make driving to work a pain. Then you going to have the idiots who want to cut through and stuff.

What are my higlights for the summer:
Euro2004 – Still can’t believe the Greeks one.
My Trip to Spain – I ran with the bulls and saw the Gugenhiem
Parents leaving for a month- the house and living room were all mine
Olympics – They were great to watch.
Work – A major deal went through

So it was good, one for the books.

I’ve decided to be an asshole. I am sick of being nice, sale I am respectful to my employees and work with
them. I let them slide when they are late, I allow them time off. Yet when I need them to do something
they don’t. They never finish their work completely or properly. So it is time to regulate.

My reasoning behind this?
I am an employer I have a contract with my employees. They do the work that I assign them. They are no
t here on a their own terms. They came to work on my terms and recieve a salary at the end of the mont
h for the work they did. They dont do the work or listen to my orders then they get a deduction. Raise
s will be based on merit and this will be peer system, which I will judge, and act accordingly.

Stuff that I have already enacted:
No smoking policy in the company. I am sick of smelling smoke stink in cars, and seeing ashes a
ll over the place.
Car maintance act. We give them a use of a car, but do they maintain them? Keep them clean? No
so time for them to get in line.

And you know what , it feels good to be an asshole.

  1. I feel the same way but I work in the government sector and whether or not you work is the same. Last
    year there were many unhappy employees when I implemented rigid standards and evaluated the employees
    in my division according to that standard. I do believe in setting standards even in the government
    sector, but sometimes it really feels like I am swimming against the current and wonder if I should ev
    en bother.
    If it is your company however, you have every right to expect your employees to work the way you want
    them to.

  2. I did not know you actually had a blog where you write stuff in, Always thought you had that kuwaiti b
    log web site only. I will add this to my list now.

    Go easy on your employees ;)

  3. This is the right way to do it :) not too hard & not too soft its FAIR, this way only the hard working
    ones will stay.
