Set Up for Failure

There are times in life when we are set up for failure.  Sometimes it is our own doing because we did not properly plan.  Other times, it is the result of someone else's actions.  I was set up for failure this past weekend at my part time job.  I don't think it was intentional.  I think decisions were made in haste and as a result my team members were the ones who had to suffer.  My staffing was cut by 30% because business had been slow all week.  Normally, a slow week leads to a busy weekend.  This theory held true.  We were swamped.  My team did the best they could and considering the circumstances I feel we succeeded.  When it comes to being set up for failure, you can either accept it and get beat down or you can accept it and fight back.
