some of the people around me have a very pessimistic view of the world.
an example of this was New Zealand health care.
as some of you know i had my appendix removed last week.
the argument was about the quality of New Zealand health care...
however i believe it to be quiet good.
went to the clinic, and yes, i did have to wait for a long time in pain. However first saw a nurse who did some tests and asked for a statement about what was wrong.
when the doctor saw me, she asked again for the description of what had happened and then diagnosed me.
She then called the hospital for the chief surgeon and informed him i would be sent in immediately.
he then asked for some more questions for her to ask me etc.
when i did get in, i was put in a gown, and put on a bed, where i was seen by 4 nurses, then 3 doctors, then the anaesthetist, before being moved to a ward, and more doctors visited.
finally, about 8 hours after showing up at the clinic, the surgeons met me and started the surgery.
i was then kept overnight and had blood tests, blood pressure, oxygen levels etc taken every hour.
was then seen again by the doctors in the morning and discharged.
so over all i was taken care of in 24 hours, and told to rest for the next 4-5 days until the stitches healed.
Now, i consider that very good health care...
i could have just been given pain killers at the clinic and told to go home, and come back in 2 days if it still hurt.
however every step of the way, the professionals did there best.
in management, there is a term for employees.
the X theory:
Employees must be forced to work, and are only responsive to incentives.
the Y theory:
Employees enjoy work as a way to better them selves and do there best etc.
people around me seem to think everyone is theory X. that people only do the minimum, to get their pay and leave.
(keep in mind none of these people have ever worked a part time job)
so i ask, if you were employed, would you do your bear minimum? as you seem to think everyone else does?

It depends on the kind of job the people have and how long they work for.
The X theory would apply to menial jobs such as high school students who work at a supermarket. It is neither their choice of career, or their joy to serve people at a counter.
However, if you look at bigger jobs like the medical industry, people choose it so they can help people (like myself). Honestly, you can make more money by going into business or commerce areas but they chose not to. This is where the Y theory comes in.
However, one of the most important factor is what kind of person s/he is, since I tried to enjoy window cleaning. As a result, I had reasonable amounts of fun and I got paid.
Any job can be fun or just be done for the money. Its up to you which one you'd like your job to feel like
good answer... however could have said that without writing a novel.
very true though :)
so if you were to employ someone, what would you look for???
HA!
You're just advocating the hospital because some of the nurses were hot. Plus the fact that your head was hazy from all the drugs too...
Actually if I wanted drugs, I'd hit up the pharmacy students since they learn how to make amphetamines like, on their 2nd week of chem or something...
And I'd look for Y theory people since if people enjoy the job, they tend to carry out the said job with more carefulness and complacency as well as some dignity
