What is "tai chi"? The commonly known definition would be - an internal Chinese martial art often practiced with the aim of promoting health and longevity.
You probably don't know this fact, but even "tai chi" is practised in the most common places - and that includes the workplace! Didn't know that did you?
How does it promote health and longevity if practised at work? Very simple! Say, you are a manager overseeing an engagement right now. As a manager, you have quite a substantial amount of commanding power. So this is what you do, you simply pass all your work to the person directly beneath you. So the end result is - you get more time for yourself and a small workload while maintaining your HUGE monthly paycheck, hence promoting YOUR health and YOUR longevity. Of course, at the expense of OTHER PEOPLE'S health and time!
This is how "tai chi" works in the office:
Say that person in the picture is you. You take in a huge amount of "chi", basically just take a deep breath. Then with all your might, you push the work away to the people beneath you. Then, breathe out and relax!
It is truly frustrating for the people at the bottom of the rank ladder. Whether you know it or not, 80% of the time this practice of "tai chi" is the main reason why many good staff leave their jobs. It is truly sad to see the people who are supposed to lead by example doing such unethical, and irresponsible practices at work so they themselves can take the so called "back seat in life".
My say, it's simply the higher-ups taking advantage of the people beneath them! How nice of them eh?
