Haters Gonna Hate
It's been a while that I've written a blog, and unfortunately it's not going to be the fun blog about helping people or to give some nice tips. It's a bit of a rant, so I apoligise already for the negativity ;). I'll make it up in the end though, just for you!
So today I got into a bit of a pickle at work. I'm working at a small holiday resort and we are finally attracting some tourists again! Which is a great thing, the economy back at work again after a couple of months. It's good for all of us that we still have a job and I realise that other people don't have this opportunity at the moment.
That said, now the pickle... I found my colleagues cleaning one of the houses without wearing a mask. This all while the government has clear rules for holiday houses: Wear mask, gloves and an apron while cleaning the houses.
As I manager I felt that it was my task to address this. Just to find out that half an hour later they were cleaning without protection once again. The owner passed by and she apparently said that they didn't have to wear it.
It all turned out into a huge debacle where we actually didn't resolve anything at all, and probably also not going to resolve anything at all.
And then you come home and you see this false statements from people that are whirling around fake information that isn't even accurate or statistically proven.
Because of this I wanted to reach out to all of you to make sure that every single one of us are actually spreading information that is accurate. People are reading and blindly following all of your blogs. We all know that Google loves backlinks, but make sure that you post the "good" ones.
Meaning that whenever you check out a website, make sure that it's first of all a website that Google supports. Google doesn't like fake news and can actually give your website a little snap.
Words have power people, be aware of this in your writing and your followers, regarding to whatever subject you are writing about :)!
And as I mentioned I said that I was going to end on a positive note, so here's a picture of a nice puppy! What's more sweeter than a cute littly puppy?

Thanks Jeff, it's nice to see that you're a loyal reader of my rare blogs here ;). How's everything going over there?
And you are right, this too shall pass, it's just not always that nice to be managing a holiday property and dealing with an owner that just doesn't give a f**** about protecting other people and her staff... but we're dealing with it after an outburst I had today ;).
Preaching to the converted as far as fake news goes Virendra.
Unfollowed people on Twitter because they keep putting fake news on. Told them about it but they don't care because the more dramatic and untrue th more RTs and likes they get.
Same on Facebook, they share old stuff about lost kids or new stuff that is totally fake. You tell them but they don't want to know because suddenly people are commenting and sharing.
There are far more good people than there are bad. More and more people are helping others and finding it an uplifting experience. So both sides benefit.
There are many more, like me, who refuse to put up with such nonsense, which means their audience shrinks.
