thing is, the moment things fall apart, they will come and tekan you... it's a no-win situation for the working hacks...Originally posted by littlestream:As long as you guys continue to run the place efficiently, it will prove their beliefs and decisions.
If things are not working, then only will they realise that they are short-staff. No? -

The women in this forum usually talk about men.
The men in this forum usually talk about the women talking about men.
Somehow, it all works.

what the heck do you think my team's senior officers have been doing?
unfortunately, the big boss is such a coward that he's afraid of us senior officers so he avoids us.. he goes after the junior officers instead... so that he can infer blame on us senior officers..Originally posted by stellazio:Its time to wear the nike wristband..STAND UP SPEAK UP!! -
Aiyoh.........which country is this?Originally posted by kopiosatu:if things are not working, we get blamed, punished, told off and its always our fault things don't go right.
they will squeeze more blood from us if anything goes wrong because to them, the job wasn't done well so punishment will scare us to doing things properly.
Got "Pau Chin Tian" there or not? -
I don't have a deathwish,but notheless i just received a death sentence.Originally posted by the Bear:and a new person!

you know my 18 1/2 days (soon to be 19) off-in-lieu? Heard from the old man (Warrant Officer In Charge) that next year on, only 3 days are allowed to be clocked. The rest are to be burnt.Originally posted by the Bear:you're telling me!
i've been fighting for my own staff.. so i've been tagged as "hostile" by my management..
my team also... so much so that the asswipe of a big boss has deemed it necessary to spilt up my team senior officers behind my team boss's back! he went on an overseas course and the transfers are effective today! my boss is coming back tomorrow!
the admin has also been spreading lies about my team, telling other teams that we will ill-treat people of other teams... and they have given "unofficial orders" to other teams to tekan my team officers!! this is straight from the other teams' officers!!
i think you're facing the same thing as i am huh?
So what now? 16 days I give for free to RSAF???? The encik who is fighting for us told the old man that he will throw he rank on the table and say that it is crazy to get rid of people's day off like that. But then to me, if the management can think of an idea like that... what does that say about the way they treat us?
Last time I enjoyed working for my unit. But since last year it has been getting from bad to worse. It is just not worth working till we're half dead for people who just walk around all day acting busy and taking home more money than me. And when anything goes wrong, instead of finding a solution, the first thing they do is find someone to blame. -
actually, it happens everywhere when the top management get suckered into believing consultants...Originally posted by littlestream:Aiyoh.........which country is this? Got "Pau Chin Tian" there or not?

Sometimes i don't get it,why do bosses makes life difficult for his workers.Won't the workers produce a higher efficiency output if they are happy..This is something i have always been pondering about..Originally posted by the Bear:what the heck do you think my team's senior officers have been doing?

I'm not saying that I'm a guniang, but I can't take it already.Originally posted by littlestream:Aiyoh.........which country is this? Got "Pau Chin Tian" there or not?
I rather be an apprentice for a good professional photographer. -
It just doesn't work in the civil service.Originally posted by stellazio:Sometimes i don't get it,why do bosses makes life difficult for his workers.Won't the workers produce a higher efficiency output if they are happy..This is something i have always been pondering about.. -
I believe its the same almost everywhere..Seriously did those bosses take up management courses?They should know about the needs of a person and when fufilled,person is happy does his job well in the end everyone will be happy..Originally posted by kopiosatu:It just doesn't work in the civil service. -
because... those who can, do...
those who cannot, backstab their way to promotions...
and guess who those who cannot backstab?Originally posted by stellazio:Sometimes i don't get it,why do bosses makes life difficult for his workers.Won't the workers produce a higher efficiency output if they are happy..This is something i have always been pondering about.. -
seems like a lot of complains tonight.

no.. because the highest REMFs live in ivory towers... see the "Peanuts affair"
they don't know what the hell is going on, and are so divorced from reality, they are dependent on those who backstabbed their way to their high positions...
it is almost a physical impossibility for them to work properly.. because if they did, they'd be shown for the incompetent bastards they are..
so, to create an atmosphere of anger, gives them an excuse to surpress, and squeeze those under them... whatever happens, the guys below take the flak, they get away scot free... all they have to do is to tekan people and make sure people who can work, do the work..Originally posted by stellazio:I believe its the same almost everywhere..Seriously did those bosses take up management courses?They should know about the needs of a person and when fufilled,person is happy does his job well in the end everyone will be happy.. -
Well then, so I will try to move away from complaints in this reply and try to find a solution...
First I need some answers to the following questions:
1) When should I enrol in a course to learn something new? While I'm having the job now which is working me to death? OR after I leave?
2) Anyone knows where I can go for a course in video editing? I want to do it good and right. I've checked the photography course, still wondering if I should join but to me its syllabus is basically on production (e.g. film and digital production) -
eh... mine is how that ST freelance journalist spells it (her name's Piak Choo or something close). Interestingly, I got this nick from reading an article by her in the online version of ST. Headline reads " An Chua? Kua Se Mi ? ".Originally posted by stellazio:KUASIMI?Isn't that the correct spelling,ok nevermind,tell you what to expect,you can expect to see many aunties around..
Aunties are good to have around but exactly how aunty are these aunties ? -
Okay, people.......side track from this backstabbing or if depressing topic (although, sorry, the problem will not go away), but here's something for your eyes wide open.
MG : as promised...........how? Can or not?

you could try getting a job with normal hours and then you can attend night classes..
the technical bits, sorry... i'm lost...
anyway, good luck! -

they get the pat on the back "good job on managing your men" -
