respect yourself and others at work.

its a boring title, yes i know.
as boring as it is, it is also a fundamental that everyone should know but sometimes you will still come across such people... sigh....

in school, i remembered learning before that we should treat our colleagues like client. i couldnt comprehend that at then. i was horrified too. you mean i cant be friends with my colleagues? later when i started work, i realised, work is work. at work, i should always treat my colleagues professionally. for bosses, i learnt the hard way, all the time - even after you had three jugs of beers.

when bonds are formed, we hang out together, go on trips together and times as such we are friends. but back to office, its work again. treating colleagues like clients means basically treating to your colleagues like how your treat your clients. you dont intercom your client to wash apples for you or make them do your work, etc....


recently i came across a weird bird.

into the job for a few weeks, was already telling other senior colleagues that they are wrong. after a month, the WB was more knowledgeable than the managers working for years... o.O

the WB started to grow wings at around two month. thinks that its flying while all the other colleagues (commoners) like me crawls and walks on the dirty ground. so full of itself, that complaints from clients were received with pride. prolly that just shows that its just a simple WB.

when it comes to work, its really lived up to its name of being a bird. not only its a scatter-brain with memory span of 5-secs, it picks parts of jobs like how a bird eat with its beak - picking only things that it like, which is only a few. when coaxed to eat a bit more, it would complain about indigestion the whole day.. =X

loves to boss everyone around. even the littlest detail of your life, whether is it work related or not, the WB must have a say and no one but managers can ask it to do its work, not even the project leader, which was troublesome.

loves to chirp loudly about flaws/mistakes of others in front of managers and all. but luckily for commoners with brains, we seldom get into trouble while the WB who does these act without verifying the fact, like i already said its a simple WB, had just fixed on a neon signboard above its head which probably says, i am a simple WB.

the WB will not eat with the other commoners. thinking their food is too unhealthy. weirdly, it looks pudgier than the rest of the commoners who exercises frequently and have six-packs and all.

sadly, no one likes to help the WB lately. answers that are not to its liking are shamed loudly. embarrassing everyone else much. so everyone has a standard answer to its questions nowadays - er... why not you go ask the manager. funnily, it would reply, the manager would know meh? oh well, go ask the gods if you want..

its reputation has got so bad that even colleagues from other department has branded it the "YAYA-PAPAYA" :(  but it will never know about the unhappiness it caused around it. cus when it looks at its reflection, the neon sign say, i am the greatest in the world - the world did not end today because i am alive...
