Ever Been Caught With Your Pants Down?
Ever Been Caught With Your Pants Down? Yes, I've been there, done that. And when that happens to us, it is something we DON'T even want to remember at all. Where possible, it's like working on our laptop, we'd like to cleanup and wipe-out the local drive, leaving NOT even an iota of information that may be useful for forensics. BUT let's face it, some "PANTS DOWN" situations are our very own undoing. In short, we're the culprit and there's just NO way for us to pass the buck because that buck ends up on our table, period. BUT our bigger problem is that some of us even end up totally unaware that he's now caught with that Pants Down💴💵💷
Two decades back, I did get caught with my Pants Down because of my own undoing. I allowed 'market predators' to push me as a 'willing prey' when they exploited me by using my professional credentials for them to bid out for a project under the RFP [Request for Proposal] Phase. When our market bidders fell short of winning the contract, the HR executive didn't waste an extra business day to give me the pink slip. That HURT, badly in fact💊💊💊When we get caught with our Pants Down, what happens next is just natural. We end up red-faced and of course, being red-faced is just a manifestation of the boiling anger simmering deep inside us. Indeed, those are moments that are way beyond our control for us to avert it. BUT when 'lightning strikes' us, WHAT matters is HOW do we cushion things, HOW do we soften the IMPACT because obviously, we DON'T want to end up BLACK & BLUE📗📙📘
