Do We Have To Suppress Our Emotions To Be Efficient Professionals?

While we — human beings — rave about the prowess of « artificial intelligence » and do our best at work to cope with some accredited experts who are still referring to us as « human material » (or « human resources »), it is not so surprising that we sometimes end up developing an inferiority complex in front of towering high-net-worth automated machining tools, efficient, well-oiled, almost entirely silent and fully dispassionate (never moody). We may therefore start to wonder: …

“Do we have to suppress our emotions to be efficient professionals?”

Circle the correct answer:

1. Yes! We could finally make 100% rational decisions. NB: My bumper sticker says: Dear heart, please stop getting emotional, your job is to pump blood, that’s it!
2. Yes, but only below Director’s level.
3. This question is obviously absurd.

The correct answer is #3.
