University Etiquette Men A Game Called Staying Surviving the Parent Company

Outclass the Competition
by Harold Almon

In business there is a game called "Staying." Staying is based on the belief that you should always be reasonably happy. Someone was smart enough to hire, or to have you. That someone is smart enough to know you are going to strive to be reasonably happy. Do not get tired before that someone does. Do not quit. Learn to ask, to yell, to cry, to say, "Can we talk?" Tell your side of the story, and wait.

Learn the authority can be "Not right." In watching out for his or her feelings, the authority can appear to be forgetful. You were had or hired, so that you could perform, and win approval. Someone waited half a work life while yelling, "No," and saying, "Don't touch that," just to win your approval.

There will be a period, when all you think of, or about, is what you want to do, and what you want. That someone, not wanting you to be "Not" cool, will wait out that period with you. He or she will not agree, and will not change the rules.

If you are lucky, in spite of all the things that person has taught you, you will win that someone's approval. Then a funny thing will happen that someone will become all the things you thought he or she should be, and will win your approval. Just when that someone has won your approval, it is time for you, or that someone, to go away.

Games will be played using home training. You will share with someone Santa, and the Easter Bunny. You will be welcomed wherever you need to be. You will survive the parent company. This is a playing manual, or maybe it is just a love story.
