The dirty facts about bullying are that it is courage, allowed and a must in certain quarters of our society, and that it is richly rewarded for stirring up the pot.
Bullying draws its heritage from the concept that a true bully comes from a three generation family. We are all bullies to some degree. Most of the countries that brought us to war were giant bullies. The countries that killed its citizens in mass were bullies, and of course what happened in the Second World War was hideous.
It is a hidden secret that in most corrupt businesses an employee must bring with him or her some fight in the employment records. They must show that they are go- getters, not cheaters, but ones who get the job done, no matter what. There is not too much room for Mr. Nice Guy.
How can this be possible? Oh, yes, very possible. Haven't you heard of being at your best, no matter what it takes. Take your best shot, do not bring home the enemy, leave them where they fall.
In the business world, one must be polite and do what is right and at all costs beat the competition. If it takes a little routine of got you, that is purely acceptable.
No one remembers the company that came in second, third, nor forth place. Bullying goes with the territory. The likeable part of doing business is all the great gifts and praises one gets. It is a joy to be a delightful bully. Everyone loves a bully in the business world. That is everyone loves a successful bully. Now, bullies can be some of the most charitable and loveable characters.
Remember, those early yesteryears of America when great giant railroads, factories and banks and the like ran the show, and all the great out sizing and back room deals that were brought about?
Well, you do not really think that all that wealth and knowledge went to the wayside, and no one remembers the lesson of those good old days. Those were the ground breaking days of the republic and what made a good system work. Some like to call it having a monopoly, I still recall the term bullying.
This is not to put a happy face on bullying in anyway, but let's not lose face over it and know where we have come from and what changes we may need to readjust; better ways to play this notorious game.
