Published on September 13, 2019, a dedicated employee in Mombasa shares their story of being too loyal to their employer, which has led to criticism from their colleagues.
As a diligent and loyal employee, you have chosen to see the positive side of things, even when faced with challenges. However, this has sometimes put you at odds with your colleagues, who have branded you a traitor for being too loyal. It's essential to strike a balance between being a good advocate for change and being loyal to your employer.
Employers have a responsibility to ensure that employees have a clear job description, a safe work environment, and are compensated fairly. If your colleagues are complaining about these issues, it may be more productive to join them in pushing for positive change rather than defending your employer.
However, there is one thing that your employer cannot fix for you and your colleagues: your attitude. You have chosen to be positive, while your colleagues have chosen to complain. It's crucial not to lower your values and standards to accommodate negativity. Instead, continue to be a good advocate for change and involve your management in the issues being raised.
By finding a balance between being loyal and promoting positive change, you can create a more harmonious work environment and set a good example for your colleagues.
