If you happen to follow professional wrestling you are aware that All Elite Wrestling has fired CM Punk. CM Punk is a character portrayed by a guy named Phil Brooks.While pro wrestling portrays fighting, you are expected to work together as some type of team. You can have disagreements but at the end of the day fighting is not looked at in a favourable light.
CM Punk is a very talented wrestler. Many people held them as their favourite wrestler. He does portray a compelling character. I’ve watched some of his matches and they can be really good. However, if you can’t get along and you keep fighting with the people you work with, something is going to give and he lost his job.
This post isn’t really about wrestling. I’m a very casual fan. I may watch an hour a month or less. This post is really about those people who feel they need to start fights all the time.
If you are fighting with the people you work with all the time things will not last. If you cannot find common ground, things will not last. Even if you are usually right, if you can’t get people to buy into your message, things will not last.
Fighting everyone is exhausting. Not listening and pushing back all the time wears you out. You need to work with others and you need to hear what they are saying. You may not agree but you need to understand where it is coming from.
The crazy thing is, going back to the wrestling story, everyone would have made more money if they could have found a way to get along. The idea of fighting can be romantic. I fought for this. It was a big fight to get that. It sounds great but you don’t fight with your team. You can disagree but you don’t fight.
When you look at the world around yourself, as best you can, stay away from people who just have to fight. If you have to be around them, try to help, until they are picking fights with you.
Picking fights at work will never work out in the long run so don’t be like CM Punk and keep picking fights.
