Since the last election, this has been happening all the time. Sometimes it's quite sad to read bout it, sometimes it's very interesting.
I've always try to distance myself from politics because I never like to be involved or I should put it this way, I have never follow any politics news throughout my life till age 24. Yeah.
Only till age of 24 that I learn, everywhere, anytime politics always been around me. I'm always inside it and never out of it.
Nicer way to put it it's call public relationship (PR), to those involve in the minister it's classified as politics. Business, politics involved as well. How bout office?
We have office politics. It's everywhere. It's all depends on how you would like to position yourself in it. How would you want to play your cards.
We are always not happy with our company, and our company never want enough from us. It's both ways. How do we deal with it?
Do it professionally and don't take things personally. In the end, it's just a job that feed you and/or your family.
I could see my own progress after having close to 4 years of working experience. I used to take comments and criticism very negatively and personally. Maybe because I've always wanted to be the best, therefore I can't accept it when others point out my negative characters. Along the way, things happen.
People come, people go. I had my job hopping and eventually learnt the truth of office politics:
You doesn't want to be involve doesn't mean you can avoid it. Being ignorant does not help you any further. You don't back-step others, doesn't mean others won't do it to you.
The best way to deal with all these is 靜觀. Just observed and don't act smart. Keep your mouth silent and do what you are assigned to do. Just as simple as that.
If everyone could do things this way, then perhaps things won't be that complicated.
We human like to complicate things when it's just that F**king simple.
Find a way to release your dissatisfaction, your frustration, your anger. For me, writing it on my blog and listening to music is a way to calm myself.
Then, after you feel that you are calm, find a way to solve your issue. You can't run away from it, you know situation will be this way, find a different approach to it then. What's the point of being angry and angry when things aren't solve? What's the point of running away from it and thought that perhaps you would win this by running away?!
There's not winning or losing situation when it comes to office politics or with your job. It just as simple as,
"If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem"
It's that simple. Be the solution, don't be the problem. This is how I have always positioned myself in any of my task or job after learning the truth of what working really is.
Always be humble, always gain your experience, always show that you could solve the issue for your company and you are not a problem to your company. Be the asset to your company, only then you could a little bargain games with your employer, because you have your cards with you.
Situation in the office is getting nasty. Everyone is not happy with the condition, everyone is thinking of leaving.
Believe me when I say this:
Those who constantly saying that he/she is thinking of resigning will never resign. Those who never mentioned bout other job offers will resign out of sudden. I've seen this many times in all my previous working companies. All those who always say want to resign, they are still f**king working in the same old company where I've moved on to another one.
I'm not saying that constantly switching jobs is something to be proud of. In fact, I don't feel proud at all because, till now I've never received any bonus from any of the company that I worked for. It's either the company does not provide bonus OR my timing is not right/ I did not stayed long enough to get it.
My point here is, those who always say they want to leave, will NOT leave in the end. So, don't be that stupid to be fooled by them, thinking that you have 'kaki' that is leaving too.
If you are really not that happy with your job, simple, get a better one that you THINK suits you.
I'm just ranting out my frustration with the environment in the office. They said because I'm new that's why I don't understand why they behaving that way.
Thing is, I've learnt my lesson in a very very hard and harsh ways. Therefore, I'm seeing people making the mistakes I made before. At times, I wish I could share my experience with them,but I know they will never understand or agree with me.
Just ranting.
