Is the corporate world a Jungle?

Is the corporate world a Jungle?

The phrase "survival of the fittest" is often used in the corporate world. However, it is originally a concept from the animal kingdom, referring to the idea that the animals that survive hunts are the fittest. Similarly, when we use this phrase in a corporate context, are we suggesting that workplaces resemble jungles and that employees become like animals?

It's important to reconsider the implications of such statements. The workplace should be competitive but not predatory. It should focus on developing people rather than branding or labelling them. An effective workplace should be engaging, not pressuring; it should accommodate mistakes rather than be intolerant. Additionally, it should assess employees, address skill gaps, and find the right person for the right job.

There are no perfect organizations or perfect employees. We are all learners who deserve a fair chance to fail and grow. Constantly chasing deadlines and targets can create a toxic environment, leading to cold wars, decreased teamwork, and increased selfishness.

If work is considered worship, the workplace should be a haven, not a jungle filled with danger and fear.
