Are You Easily Intimidated?

Do you honestly tell people how you feel or just say what you think they want to hear because you are intimidated by the situation?

I remember, as a teenager, I had a summer job at a pharmaceutical company. I would load empty bottles onto an assembly line. Machines filled with medicine would pour their contents into the bottles.

A long time employee came up to me on my first morning and told me not to work fast because he didn’t want management to know that the loading could be done faster. As a sixteen year old, I was easily intimidated by that older man and did what I was told to do.

How about you? Do you stand up for yourself or just go along?

If not today, when?
