Interesting to observe how some of my dear accounting colleagues on LinkedIn, who I respect for their hard work, describe their good job through throwing their colleagues under the bus.
I have met a lot of tradesmen while decorating my house. Some of them would point to me what was done badly, others instead said what they can do for me. Guess who I loved to work with?
Another point, let me to mention, is one of my colleagues shared with me that she was unfortunate to work in an accounting practice where the accounts staff is competing with each other, not supporting, not sharing information etc.
Unofficial policy in the practice, is that you are only doing so well when compared to your worst colleague. I was so lucky to never experience that (have you?), it's one of the worst office policies.
Embrace competition, believe, the better your colleagues do, the better your friends do - the better and happier you will be 💖
Thank you John!
