Information technology

The information super highway, where anyone can find all sorts of information. Information is just easy to get. I can remember a time when nobody had cellphones. I didn't get my first cellphone till I was a freshman in college and now everyone has one. They have phones now that are just little computers. I know my dad has one and he uses it to keep in contact with work. He can keep in contact with his email and other things. I think that this could qualify as taking your work home with you. My question being is does anybody get paid for answering the phone after they clock out?

Organization...the love hate relationship

Within an organization people need to learn how to cooperate with one another.  Some people do not like working with other people.  They were better by themselves.  But in an organization that requires cooperation they have to find ways to motivate themselves to work for some and they don't like.  Let me just say that, for anyone that does not now, there were always be someone there that you do not like.  That is if you're like that.  I know others happy go lucky people that it used except everyone and our friends with everybody.  Does that kind of a person even need motivation or are they just high on life?
What we take a Elmo for example, he is lovable has many popular friends and yet he is a hand. Everybody is in love with a hand. Which goes to show you that people can accept just about anything just some people choose not to.

Some people choose not to be more organized. What happens to them? They live in a chaotic environment.  Then again being organized has been looked down upon as being too structured in social society. In other words, or nice people look like their stuck-up.

With all this said it makes you wonder if I should be organized? Do live loved being chaotic?  No not really.  When I rather be organized? Maybe.

This might be why the term organizational commitment even exists. Is my belief that it would take a lot of motivation to accomplish such a thing in organization.

Organizations try to motivate employees to do things by offering benefits or incentives but rewards only go so far. Let me refer back to the donut example in class. Ancestry.com, would give donuts out on a certain day of the week. One day they decided to implement healthier alternatives and it caused resentment amongst the employees. They eventually had to offer extra incentives to counter act what happened.

So do you reward employees or not?

Culture Shock

Today, I will slighly address a subject I know allot about...

culture shock-

sudden exposure to unfamiliar culture: the feelings of confusion and anxiety experienced by somebody suddenly encountering an unfamiliar cultural environment (Bing definitions)

 

Before I share a brief story, I would just like say that I know everybody has experienced culture shock at some time in their lives. Also, to give alittle bit of a background I have live in many U.S. states and the majority of those places being small rural areas.

 

Anyway, I moved out here last year and it was a shock. I had never known any Koreans before or lived with them for that matter. (If you haven't I highly recommend trying it.) I've never lived in a city this big. I've never attended a school this big. This is the second time I moved out of the house away from parents. I was slightly anti-social. I was scared. A new school year is stressful but the weird thing was is that school was the only thing sane, until midterms. I really was under allot of stress.

 

I know that I'm not the only one and that there are other people that have experienced this.
