Text of the page (random words):
elves i submit that for some young people the drafting of these personal statements shaped and edited by professionals who know all the magic buzzwords that warm the hearts of admissions committees is the first step toward a life of posturing and inauthenticity that may reap rewards time and again please don t get me wrong there are lots of folks who succeed with their authenticity intact however we live in a time where processed and contrived sincerity often works just as well as the real thing i ve seen these patterns play out in the academic workplace where people who have honed their ability to sell themselves in interviews despite modest qualifications sometimes get leadership jobs over more qualified but less charismatic candidates in some cases horrible results ensue because the hired individual is mostly flash and little substance to adapt a friend s insightful saying bad things can happen when the job goes to the show horse instead of the work horse this dynamic also has powerful social class impacts by and large the kids whose families can afford standardized test prep courses and tutors are the same ones who benefit from coaching on their personal statements courtesy of college prep consultants providing this comparative advantage is a great way of blocking social and economic mobility early on over the years i ve periodically revisited themes of authenticity at work and elsewhere you might find these pieces interesting on living an undivided life 2019 link here organizational authenticity and workplace bullying 2017 link here instead of lies

2021 all the pieces matter october 19 2021 by david yamada in work on tv workplace bullying mobbing and abuse tags work on tv workplace bullying 1 comment for years the workplace bullying institute has been sponsoring freedom from workplace bullies week link here which provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon and grow a larger movement addressing workplace bullying mobbing and abuse in attempting to capture the ongoing challenge before us i found myself drawn to the title of a book about one of my favorite television series all the pieces matter the inside story of the wire 2018 by jonathan abrams i ll have more to say about the wire and that book below but for now let s zero in on its title all the pieces matter exactly this work continues to be informed by intersecting systems of employment relations mental health counseling and law and public policy to name a few in our co edited book set workplace bullying and mobbing in the united states 2019 dr maureen duffy and i included a final chapter attempting to frame a broad agenda for addressing these forms of interpersonal abuse over the long haul we identified these core areas as focal points encouraging organizational prevention and responses building a cadre of trauma informed mental health counselors and coaches who understand bullying and mobbing enacting and implementing laws and public policies designed to address abuse at work changing workplace standards to embrace values driven cultures working towards a more dignitarian society inside and outside of our workplaces in other words we re talking about various systems which leads me back to the wire and all the pieces matter the wire is a drama series set in baltimore that ran on hbo from 2002 to 2008 starting with an initial focus on policing and the drug trade that threads throughout the series it then takes deep looks into blue collar work at the city s docks public education urban politics and the media overall the wire is driven by characters and their stories all of which interact with powerful interwoven systems that are hugely resistant to change with intricate storylines that develop slowly and require a viewer s close attention to follow the wire attracted mixed reviews at first and it never drew a large audience however by the end of its run it had become recognized as one of the best dramas ever since then the wire has been the rare television program whose afterlife has accorded it the status of a classic at the center of the wire is its brilliant creator david simon who envisioned the series as a form of dramatic social commentary that raises questions about effecting change while reading all the pieces matter i found some of his quotes very relevant to the core subject matter of this blog let me explain bullying and mobbing are of course the sum of individual behaviors in addition they are enabled protected and sometimes encouraged by systems or cultures if you will that reflect certain values and power dynamics in all the pieces matter david simon said this about the challenges of reforming systems the things that reform systems are trauma great trauma nobody gives up status quo without being pushed to the wall i believe that politically the great reformations of society are the result of undue excess and undue cruelty the reason you have collective bargaining in america and it became powerful is that workers were pushed to the starvation point the reason that you have the civil rights we do is that people were hanging from trees simon expressed optimism that individuals can change while sharing significant doubts that systems can self reform rather he said systemic change requires outside pressure and awareness of trauma that cut through inhumanity or indifference so that s how david simon the wire and all the pieces matter help to inform my perspectives on how we address interpersonal abuse at work we are talking about systems that are very resistant to change some of the most powerful stakeholders actually benefit from the status quo of allowing abuse to go unchecked accordingly citing the trauma and destruction of bullying and mobbing at work it s up to us to articulate a continuing compelling and responsibly bold call for systemic changes and positive evolutions share this print opens in new window print share on facebook opens in new window
