bad colleagues..
-
not sure whether there is something wrong with me or that my colleagues are really horrible people.. Let us put it this way. I have 7 colleagues:
A - Boss.. doesnt care about anything but u better not screw up ur work or else..
B - My assistant boss.. who strangely suck up to D (see below)
C - another assistant boss but not mine so dun have to care..
D - a key executive.. who is undertaking a major project. She loves to suck up to A, B and C.
E - an executive whose face whole day black black.. esp when stress. beginning to learn from E and F in the toe sucking skills..
F - an executive who shouted across cubicles all the time to get her messages across. A bit arrogant and really loves to suck up to A's boss.
G - my buddy who agreed to the above..
H - me, a quiet fellow.. who needs time to warm up and open up to others.. so far after joining for almost 2 years, did not talk to them much except to G, I and J.
Now, kindly help to analyse this.. Am I a black sheep cos they dun really talk to me? Have been rather quiet at times during meetings cos info was not well dissemminated (which G agrees) and do not wish to make silly contributions.
I and J, another 2 buddies of mine had transferred to another dept cos they requested to.. maybe due to this sick place?
Maybe this place should be named SUCK UP Corp.? -
Company Politics happen all the time. While i can't say there's nothing wrong about it, its very common and can be found almost everywhere.
No, from what i see, you're not a black sheep. Its just that you're not worth talking to. Since everyone is sucking up to someone, why would they waste their time talking to you, when they can continue to suck up?
I hope I and J gets to a place with less politics, generally politically involved departments are less motivated to work hard, as they're constantly looking behind their backs and all.
Its nothing wrong with you, just a victim of circumstances. -
this is the world......
u get to meet and work with all kinds of ppl.....
if u relli need to stay on the job then there's no choice....have to lun and do ur part diligently....and learn how to not let these ppl affect u and ur work performance.....
if u have the courage and relli wish to change things, u can start toking to them....maybe get to know them better to find out why they are like tt.....
if u are not happy with the job and the ppl, and u think u would like to try elsewhere, then go.....but it's a big risk and no guarantee u will meet better ppl.... -

understood. but it just come to my mind that life in Singapore isnt that easy..Originally posted by FireIce:keep trying!!!
with financial commitment such as house loan, car loan, etc. one cannot do without a job. not even for a month. agreed? -
we have to work around the circumstances.....as i have said, either u try to improve the condition in ur workplace, bear and suffer in silence, or u seek a better environment......turn the obstacle into a new opportunity....mus have the determination to keep trying.......
material things are material things, when times are bad, things are bad, ppl are bad, u jus have to make new financial plans and adjust ur lifestyle......
life is about trying, changing, adapting......
wats most impt is to be optimistic.... -

Ever wonder that maybe you are the one with a attitude problem?
If you find that people are in good terms with their boss, to you they are suckin' up to him... and bosses in good term with executive, to you they are suckin' up to her... mann, i think you are waiting for ppl to suckin' up to you as well... have you ever wonder that maybe others had tried talking to you but maybe the impression you give them are either too defensive or anti-social? -
People sucking toes..?
Me sucking THUMB at workplace.. Haha...
