Different Reactions to Trouble

Trouble comes in many forms, but different personality types and different environments of origin determine how different people respond to it. For example, when one young adult messes up, they tend to try to correct the fault and face the music, while another may believe that all is lost and that they have to get out while the getting’s good. In other words, some interpret the information correctly and some distort the information, engaging in overkill. Some take the problem in stride, while others way overreact.

You cannot choose, or even know about, different backgrounds from which your employees have come. They will all react to trouble in completely different ways, some more helpful or constructive than others. In times like these, your employees need a leader. They need someone who will set an example and guide them on the straight and narrow path toward acceptable reactions. This is the time for things like drug and alcohol screening. Drug tests and alcohol breathalyser devices set a precedent for what is expected from all of your hard working employees. They now have a solid concept of what is expected and what will not be tolerated.

Reactions to trouble are not the only reactions which will cause problems for your business. Many employees will react to the drug testing program itself, looking for a way out, refusing to take drug tests, and looking for a way to be an exception to the rule. It is important to be able to discern between an emotional reaction based upon their individual past, and a con game or manipulation which they may try to use to get out of something. If all else fails, and there seems to be a problem in the workplace or on the jobsite, drug and alcohol testing is the solution. Try out Lion SD 400, our Oraline drug test, and our Medix equipment for your employee drug test and alcohol breathalyser tests. CMM Technology exists to provide this equipment to drug testing operations, and workplaces, and onsite testing services

Deny Yourself Nothing

There is a myth perpetuated in today’s media, and it is one that causes a lot of damage when it comes to personal decisions. The myth is that everyone is inherently selfish and that this is a vice and that everyone should try their hardest to fight against this selfishness and denounce it at every turn. Research has shown that humans are actually not that selfish, and that we are very self interested, which is not the same thing, at all. Self interest means that you recognize that your own needs and concerns must take priority over those of others if you are to even have any resources to give. Unfortunately, selfishness and the hatred thereof has so permeated our society that often individuals are taught to give whatever they have, even if it is not enough for themselves.

This is a problem because, in order for society to grow and survive, the differentiation between selfishness and self interest must be recognized.
Often, someone who is living in the slums or on the edge of a slum society will vehemently describe how what they are doing is best because they are not going to take any problems from anyone. The fact that they even have the need to validate their own basic self interest shows us just how far the disease of selfishness-condemnation has really gone.

We cannot function as a society if we do not first recognise that our own needs must be met before we can begin to help others with their needs. In order to forgive others, we must first actively and consciously forgive ourselves. In order to love another, we must first learn how to love ourselves and actively and consciously show ourselves this love on a daily basis. In order to employ responsible safe employees, we must first learn how to make our business safe on its own, through the steady and applied use of employee drug and alcohol screening.
