World Cup 2010 Fever

The World Cup, a football event that takes place only once in every four years also means the kick start of the event whereby employees start to make up various excuses to skip work. Employees from all over the world will start to make excuses no matter how farfetched it is just to view the world cup to see the action or see the outcome of the match. The reasons can range from headaches, tummy ache, vomiting, and food poisoning to even faking the death of someone close to them just so they could get time off from work. Some of them would even quit their jobs if they had tickets to the world cup but not allowed leave.

It is a surprise though that quite a number of the bosses are forgiving enough to grant leave for their employees even if it may affect the company productivity. The bosses of the companies are also forgiving and less strict when their employees are less enthusiastic or late for work. In fact there are bosses who think that this is a good time to bond and forge a good working relationship between the employee and employer in the future as they share a common interest. While doing this, the bosses should also enforce that the employees should know their limits and their work commitments. Of course there are other company heads that do not support this and are strict about employees coming to work late, albeit they themselves do it also.

Sometimes it is not always the employees who watched the football match that will obviously affect their work productivity but to those filial employees that did not watch also will be affected because of those people who have watched the world cup match near their houses would watch it until in the wee hours and including the noises and nuisance that their did as well. That’s why sometime the bosses will not blame and try to be understanding as some of the employees might not watch the football match because for the basic reason that they don’t like to watch it but it’s because of those people who had watched it and that had disturb the peace at night; that is for sleeping time.
