The level of caring has to be mutual.
Do a lot of people care about you? How do you know? Can you prove it? Of course your spouse cares about you. And your kids do, even if they don’t show it. Your parents do if they are still around. Caring for and about someone is about repeated kindness and unselfishness. There are many people – and I might even put it out there that it’s a majority – who care about you because there’s something in it for them. It’s not a negative as it sounds. Most work relationships and the level of caring present are quid pro quo connections. You work hard for me, I pay you well and give you a place to work that is safe, friendly and consistent. When that work bond changes – whether is employer/employee or co-worker to co-worker, the relationship usually falls off and eventually ends. Family and friend relationships, however, don’t end when employment changes. To grow and flourish, the level of caring has to be mutual.
