Sometime we just choose to accept a job duty because it is can be part of the job description. That can make it required, such as being a loan analyst. Most of the time you expect just to get the basic information, dates, numbers, credit info or history, the current information, whether or not they meet the rules. Then we unexpectedly get a letter that explains why they haven't been able to pay. They explain that they have been suffered a death in the family, how they have suffer, just story that can get a person to have some sympathy and let the person off from the burden that they took place. This is where that conflict comes into play, we have to basically decide whether or not we believe their story is true, and approve, or a lie, and deny them. It takes a tool because sometime you deny the ones that tell the truth because you know they don't meet a certain criteria. It tends to get to you but you have to let it ago and continue with the job.
Since it was what I agreed to do I have to come to terms with it, even if it means developing a bit of a cold heart? If you look at the short term, there is no personal sense of satisfaction or self worth. I thought I would honestly be helping people but it turned out that I would be dealing more with incompetence and let down. There really isn't much that you can take away and say to someone "look I turned Joe somebody down because they didn't have the required documents. High five!!!" The only thing that you can do is just to let it go and let be because it has happened and move on to the next person. I feel that the long term matter more than the short term, depending on the situation. Take work for example, if you work for say a Big four company, your dream is to reach a management position or some higher up position. The manager just choose to quit and you're in line for that spot, you got the qualification, the people the you will work for like you as well as everybody in the office. There is just one catch; in order for you to be promoted you have to fire somebody that you have come to know. You know their kids, wife, family, almost their entire life, yet you have to fire him. You don't know what to do, it's the job you have wanted, a chance to be successful, career wise, and you can make your own hours, have a little bit more lavish life.
At that moment you choose to fire the person, you feel horrible about it but sometimes in the job market it's required because it's a dog eat dog world. You have to fight and take what it is you can to move up the ladder and try to at least enjoy life while you can. Other than that, some time some job duties are meant to prepare you for what you will deal with if you do go up the job ladder in a company or choose to work for yourself. Your ethics do take a back seat at time because the world is never really ethical and you have to swallow your pride and just take a stab in the unknown in hope that it will help you later in life. In an ethical world feel right about every decision you made, but if you were in an unethical world you would probably never reach your dreams or your dreams may take longer to reach.
Decision making turns from thinking of other to think about you. I think that at time when we have to decide other from ourselves, we choose ourselves because it is the easiest person to look after. You know what is you want, you need, what is best for yourself. But making a decision that affects another person’s life is difficult. Sometime we just choose to go with the flow and just follow along and hope that there is some benefit from making crap decision such as firing a friend, denying a loan that has a story behind it. Other times we have no choice, we just have to do it because it is what we are required to do it.
