This reads like war time propaganda
SauronsLeftNut
I LOATHE this type of motivational shit.

Work ethic is a talent! Youre not my supervisor!
FrankJ7
It might not be a talent but ''passion'' certainly isn't something everyone just has.
jarv0
This is horribly condescending...

If you have a mental or physical disability, mental or physical illness, come from an unstable/unsafe home/neighborhood, etc. these things -

Might not require "talent," but they're sure as hell a lot harder to achieve.
Eurypterida
I love it how most companies would like you to act like you joined some sort of cult that you must offer everything.
RupertRuari
energy require natural... conditions, so its basically like talent
MrFnortner
You bitching about your jobs: who put a gun to your head? Remember when you VOLUNTARILY accepted that job offer? Quit or get back to work.
HeyDontBeADick
Nobody knows what talent actually means. It's a placeholder that refers to the part we can't account for.
kotomikun
Every single one of these things requires talent and/or practice. Making a list like this, probably copied of the internet, does not.
juanchits
Fucking pay me well every month and I'll do my job.
bobathon
Pffft... totally ripped-off from Dr. McDoucherson's 'How to Alienate Everyone'. It's a very popular book on management theory.

5 minutes early is 10 minutes late.

4. Body Language is not something that is 'Zero Talent' for everyone
TheShittierBeatles
Yeah, just ask Michael J. Fox.
terramarkov
Agreed
notaballoon
A lot of these are not "zero talent"
hooligan111
They're all zero talent. You can do it!
imashutin
And there's little connection bw body language and... what? Worth? Value? I'll take the slouch who bangs out quality code (for ex) in a sec
jackofalleves
sure, but body language is important for customer engaging roles
claudelepoisson
Wow this thread is full of whiny ass entitled bitches.
claudelepoisson
I mean, this is basically "obvious ways to get ahead of all the other worthless pleb" but you're all like "nah, whining works A-1".
AStainlessSteelRat
Never do "extra" unless you are getting "extra" compensation. In most cases it will backfire on you.
pagliacci323
Fuck whoever wrote this and fuck OP
slaaneshBuiltMyJetbike
These are all good / essential traits to have. The fact that everyone is bemoaning this baffles me.
Odentay
as someone with a sleep disorder 3,5,7,9 can be herculean tasks on most days. I try but i ask for forgiveness when its not possible.
Janusha
None of these are true.
cryborg
11. Faking a positive attitude when your boss is a complete douche. Well it requires a little talent.
CowsSecretlyGuzzleWine
* a lot of talent
ShutUpImWorking
Apparently making a list of ten things requires talent... did not know that..
HalloIamherenow
Depends on exactly how douchey your boss is
dexlamrg
It requires more mental energy than talent, IMO.
ohdearohdearohdeer
Doing this every day is more difficult than my actual job
grammarfairy
Not talent, practice. Lots of practice.
BearBirkin
I just got fired due to my inability to do that.
cryborg
It's so tempting to yell, "Fuck off, you assholes!"
BearBirkin
Mine was a "you do realise you're getting by on your looks and not your ability". Folk don't like that.
igottheconch
Well, this is just factually incorrect
imgbnt
Those are tall order for zero talent
juanchits
It's like if employers were constantly looking for a way to avoid the old "I pay well, therefore people work" method, but maybe it's just me
juanchits
Wow! Suddenly, that shitty wage is no longer important. Now I feel like starving to death isn't that bad.
joker305th
Am I getting paid extra when I do #9?
cyno01
No, but it allows your coworkers to slack off. Be a team player.
Dafirnz
No. That's why your supposed to be at work 15 minutes early and stay 15 minutes late. All the free labour helps the millionaires make more.
misterschwifty
2, 3, 9 and 10 are the same, and being able maintain high energy and a positive attitude ABSOLUTELY requires talent.
Corrodias
For most folks, it's merely a choice. For those with a disorder, it can be a big challenge. Getting a diagnosis can lead to assistance.
boringpigeon
Yep. Being positive is hard work.
WhatzitTooya
Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave.
SmellOfMonkey
This was probably written by a manager, therefore wouldn't make sense/they'd have no comprehension that they were talking shite
MotherfuckinGoats
I've learned how to sound like I'm smiling on the phone without moving my face at all. Oh, the joys of working in call centers.
PilotPirx
'Work ethics' is kind of an umbrella term that covers more or less everything else.
ImMrsMeeseeksLookatMe
High energy is a personality thing. Unless you want to use phentermine. Then you can be high energy too!
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
Passion my not require talent but it also isn't something you just turn up.
whydoeslovedothistome
I think you can learn to be passionate or find things to be passionate about so it also requires talent and/or time.
shoutuckerfatheroftheyear
As a Creative director, I hate shit like this. anytime I see this shit as a "morale adjuster" its meant to get employees to do more for less
slaaneshBuiltMyJetbike
I work with people who can't do any of these things. I can't stand it. Although, I doubt reading this list would fix anything.
shoutuckerfatheroftheyear
the red flag for me is that management is using "zero talent" in relation to their employees. Thats not to say there arent bad employees.
Yoloswagforjesus
"doing extra"

And the thing is, 99% of the employees know it too, and all it does is make them grumble while doing the same amount.

But the moment you tell him "Shit like this is why nobody trusts you," you're the bad guy.
shoutuckerfatheroftheyear
My honest to god belief is people care about the job when they know you care about them.
flawlesssoul
And truly know it - not just play along with your pretend corporate mandated staff wellbeing bullshit.
