There is ONE who no skeletons can be hidden from.

The same employer who was quick to hire you towards the end of the year is now the same narcissist boss starting stuff with you. You’re a new hire working in an industry you never worked in previously, but specialize personally in what the description of the employee is supposed to do. Marketing and sales. You accept the job because you feel it wold demonstrate your creative selling strengths and unique positive personality in appealing to customers to become repeat buyers, but also to have your customers and employer think highly of you because this is the line of work you take personal interest in. But there’s a problem. Shortly after you were hired by the direct store manager and acting store manager and the acting store manager (the one who schedules employees to work certain days and hours during the week) asks you to work Sundays, you fail to oblige to working every Sunday for an excellent reason; you go to Church and attending Church means more than working your job every Sunday. Now your direct and acting employer has a beef with that and secretly starts developing some type of feeling and view in their heart and mind about you. They allegedly start to feel as if they possibly regret hiring you. What’s next?

You’re in your direct store manger’s office as a new hire taking an online training course and learning what to do. There’s a series of modules for you to complete and you’re slowly going through them one by one, checking for mistakes and making sure you’re dotting your i’s and crossing your t’s in achieving highest grades possible on your new employee online modules. Your employer is sitting virtually outside her office at the service desk on the flush right side with a few store employees hanging by the service counter talking to the direct store manager – employer while you’re in the office continuing to complete the new employee online training modules. You overhear the direct employer congratulate another new hire that was hired around the same time as you for making a ballpark around a $9,000 sale. After you overhear the direct store manager – employer saying that, you slightly lean your chair to the flush right so you can see the new employee hanging by the service desk and you say “congratulations, _______.” Immediately, the direct store manager – employer slams their hand on the service desk table (after you mentioned a few days back you can’t work Sundays because you go to Church) and tells you in so many words yelling in front of other employees and the new hire to “get back to work,” humiliating you in front of everyone hanging around the service desk at the time.  There’s no reason for the employer to act to boughie and do something like that to humiliate you and make you feel some type of way at the time. As an act of humility, you ignore how they acted toward you and continue completing the training module.

Positive thinking sees past the negative actions of people and focused on long-term positive objectives. In this case, ignoring your employer and giving no reaction doesn’t make you less of a person. It simply means you won’t stoop to their level of ignorance as they’ve resorted to casting you in a certain light to build themselves up and look good in front of people to present an image of “who’s the boss.” Any employer who does things like that is less of a human being, has no home training, and holds no spiritual net worth. Their riches are only on Earth and their victory is temporary.

Positive thinking should also prick your heart to continue doing good to those who spitefully use you, falsely accuse you, and secretly set you up for termination. They think they are stealing from you by getting your job and other benefits taken away, but they steal from themselves. They rob themselves in unimaginable ways. People can hide their shortcomings from others and place their skeletons in a closet thinking no one will know. That way of thinking is openly foolish. It’s a way of thinking full of vanity. Not only can an employee remain positive in their train of thought before and after harassment from their employer, but they can also become a millionaire from it.

Stay tuned for a future post “how terminated employees can cash in on the sins of their employer engaging in wrongful termination.” Later in life after the smoke clears, you’ll be ever so thankful your narcissist employer put you through the nonsense. You didn’t sell your soul to keep your job. Not only have they contributed towards making you spiritually richer, but richer beyond the “worldly gain and thinking beyond vain.”
