After reading the article about  Zappo for Class 19, and my classmateRiley’s  blog, a thought occurred to me .

In the blog, she clearly stated two opinions. First, the manger should be responsible for the employee’s mood. Second, there is no one in the world other than yourself who can control the mood. Personally, I prefer the latter opinion. I don’t agree with what Zappo is currently doing. I think it cost too much! Also by providing such a good environment for each worker equally might be really unfair to some hardworking workers and some employees might just take the advantage of this and do nothing. By providing an unlimited amount of free food might let some greedy employees even bring food home for their whole family. Because people’s wants are unlimited so these greedy people will always exist, you just simply can’t prevent it from happening. Also if the employees are used to this kind of working condition, when you decrease the condition a little due to some cost reason or the whole economic condition, they may be really upset and feel unsatisfied.

I also strongly agree with the man which Riley mentioned in her blog”Geoffrey James”. He mentioned that your happiness is your own responsibility; you shouldn’t blame anyone for being unhappy. I saw very poor children in Kenya enjoying their life. So when life is tough or boring,you should try and make yourself happy, you should not rely on you manger to come up with a method. Just like what he mentioned in his article: “There are people in this world who have dream jobs but manage to make themselves so miserable that they commit suicide. And there are freelance garbage collectors who manage to stay upbeat”. This is not saying that the manager should not do anything or provide a bad working condition – what I mean is that the manager could do something but don’t rely on it or think that you deserve all those good things. Try and make yourself happy because no one is responsible for you life except yourself.
