High Expectations

Sometimes things happened unexpectedly. One day you can be working, and the next day you are out of job. One thing for sure, you can't be really sure what others are expecting of you. In different areas of our life there will be different kinds and levels of expectation. As much as we possibly can, we tend to try to meet up to other people's expectation of us.

That's what happened in The Rockstartup episode thirteen. In this reality show the viewers were shown Xavier and the creative gift by his company Payperpost. I definitely don't want to be in Xavier's shoes. Who would thought of giving a dead dried rose to an employee? I really have sympathy for him.

Then the viewers are given the "privilege" to see Ted,Payperpost founder/CEO in action. As expected, a CEO wants all his employee to be like him in his motivation and passion for the company. That's kinda absurd since there will only be one founder/CEO and naturally his expectation should be the highest of all. None of the employees can have the same kind of motivation because they are just employees. If they do have that same kind of motivation, I'm sure they would already start a new company.

Having said that, I'm sure the bloggers are very happy to know that there's great vision and motivation in Ted. This is definitely needed to ensure that the company is moving ahead and there will be more available opportunities for bloggers to take. I'm sure there will be more bloggers who will get to know about Payperpost not just through online promotions but also by way of words of mouth.



I still not very sure what exactly will happen to Xavier. I presume that he will be fired by Ted. There's still some mysteries that are left unanswered. Anyway, will wait for further episode. What I would like to see in future episodes is how the employees are given the motivation to work passionately for the company. Not because of the high expectation of the big boss, but because they have already owned the vision that Ted has for the company.
