THE WORKPLACE.
Monday, July 24, 2006
dun u think that the victim deserves to know who accuse him/her. well, some think otherwise. ok, there's always two sides of the story..cos some might fear that it might create conflicts between the victim and the ones accusing. but dun u think that we should all be EXPECTED to act in a mature way, and not in a chlidish manner? especially taking into consideration our age :) if u commented on someone, why do u fear letting that person noe what u said? for fear that it might be a personal attack? Lol. okay maybe i'm thinking too much. but seriously speaking...if i made a comment, i would gladly let that person know..cos i believe i made a constructive feedback and sincerely wants the person to change for the better. why hide behind a smiley plastic face. tsktsktsk....the workplace's definitely not a nice place to work in with such*plastic* people.
well...working nowadays...kinda lots of feedback..not saying its bad..cos its definitely something to reflect on..and if i feel that certain things are justifiable enough to motivate me to change, i would gladly do so *_* but sometimes it seems like there are so many expectations.. "the talk"s from certain subordinates..its feels like expectations are piled high..always yearning for lotsa changes...always wanting us to change change change..always thinking that we are still"not there yet". it kinda feels like WHAT THE HELL at certain times..cos most (cept 1 subordinate)shows NO APPRECIATION. yes, shows no appreciation..the BAD always surfaces..the GOOD becomes expected of u! and so if one day we kinda deviates from the good..we get picked on..grumbles starts.. mind u, sometimes we're only HUMAN. and we can't really please the whole world..'cept if u're super ultra fakeyyy nice...bootlicking now and then...saying "yes, yes, yes' ..to everything expected of you..then maybe u can please everyone.. bottom line is" not to have a mind of ur own, but to conform to authority..to rules..to stringent practices..even when sometimes we're not happy" so basically, work should be" just put a big smile on ur face and say "YES " fullstop. to everything ur subordinates tell u to do. how harmonious the workplace would be like huh.
i'm not perfect and everyone's not too. like for the managers...they expect so much from us...but do they reflect upon themselves seriously.. is FAIR AND EQUITABLE PRACTICES practise in the workplace? sorry, i feel its not in certain areas. some managers are disliked for no apparent reasons perhaps..some for being BIAS..some for being naggggyyyyyy. some for being tooo strict.... it made the workplace such a unflexible place to work in. UNFLEXIBLE is deemed as failure...it makes people all the more wants to go against authority (maybe not express outwardly, but inwardly)..it makes people dun wanna work hard on a particular shift..disrespect u in some ways. its so much crap crap crap...if u can get everyone, yes i mean EVERYONE to like and respect u, then maybe u can expect that of us.
u want us to learn, to change, fine. TEACH US. not using words..actions perhaps. u dun see the hard work we put in? we too. we dun SEE U doing ur part. show us, and we will gladly learn from u. if not, please get off our back. we work hard,u get ur sales target..we smile, u get ur improvement in service...ahhh...but i think all these are EXPECTED and not appreciated :) so we have to constantly strive and strive. but sometimes we're tired. we are just freaking part-timers for goodness sake, WITH A LIFE OUT THERE.
also, there's this major source of conflict..always asking "ehh dun u think that xxx is very slow...??? or watever..but certainly all negatives comments????? lol. i think she's the major source of grapevine. i wonder..conversations with her friends she hang out with..might always be bout others...bad stuffs..and she dun really talk bout other stuffs. actually, kinda sad being her.
CRAP ASIDE, i really should not be bothered by all these.
nowadays when we go to wrk, we always pray for sebastian shift. right limhongyan??? hhahaahah. i had lotsa arguements with sebastian in the past, but we're always okay after that..cos maybe we feel that he's the only one who really appreciates the staffs. and he understands my character..my way of doing my job.
spoke to darling boy just now bout work related issues...and i get real good advices..kinda know what to do...moments ago was kinda lost..but after talking to him..it was like..ahhhhh..i finally am getting something. i know what i must do. thank God for him..my pillar of strength and support =D
actually i'm kinda glad for certain feedbacks, cos i believes feedbacks make me learn. make me wanna change to prove others wrong. even if i change is not because i wanna gain acceptance and approval from some people, but to make work a lil more easier. so yes, i wun be sooo direct in future, be TACTFUL like what darling suggested :)))))
tmr is inter- nydc girls captain ball..we must soo winn la!!!!!! and trash heeren badly. good nite peeps!
