Attitude Gets You Nowhere

I hate being under pressure. But at least after taking a direct shot from the Big Kahuna (*urk*), the work does get done. Eventually. Yeah, I know my leadership abilities suck.

But damn the shittiest of all hells for this horrible day today. It's just so hard to work with difficult people (I know coz I myself am a pain to my bosses). But wtf lah if your own team member doesn't understand or appreciate the team. C'mon man, think about us also mar!

I seldom get snarky or verbally lash at my colleagues but I seriously broke my first record lah today. Heck, what would you have done if your male colleague starts mumbling under his breath and pays no heed to words of advise your senior or manager gives?

My short temper was triggered as he talked back to Kak Bailah when she asked him why he still had unfinished work at 7 o'clock in the evening. Which HELLLLOOOO showtimes is bloody serious business which should've already been settled by then so why the hell couldn't he think we were worried?!

We assumed that the showtimes were done and we were all ready to go home. The most COURTEOUS thing he could've done was to TELL us EARLIER that his part wasn't finished yet. Then we could've gotten down and finish the damn job together so we could ALL go back faster. That's what a team does dammit!!

His issue was simple. He didn't let anyone know he was struggling with it. ALWAYS update the team because no matter what, whatever pile of shit you did wrong will inevitably become OUR pile of shit too. So when you get scolded, you FIND a way to resolve it.

No way was he supposed to treat us like shit. No way in fucking hell was he allowed to show attitude then get up and leave the office with us gaping there staring at his abrupt dismissal of responsibility!

So it's OUR problem that we scold him for not telling us? So it's OUR problem for waiting and expecting something we THOUGHT was done?

Grow a conscience, dude. People work under pressure and strive to succeed. We don't try to dig ourselves into an even bigger abyss.

i don't know if i want to guess who that is but the point is, he definitely has issues to work on.

if people keep problems to themselves, it either means he doesn't trust anyone enough or he's simply egoistic. sometimes it's a mix of both. BUT even if that happens, one should know better when to tone it down and when to seek help. apparently, he doesn't. x_x;

my best guess is he doesn't know teamwork, or he doesn't believe in it. maybe he doesn't think what he does has effects on others. selfish too?

AND HOW COULD HE TALK BACK TO KAK BAILAH WHO ONLY ACTED AS A SUPERVISOR WHICH IS HER RIGHTFUL ROLE DEMMIT AND THEN DO WHAT, LEAVE JUST LIKE THAT?!?! that's another issue he has, respect.

i wish things will get smoother soon for you and the team. =(( *hugs*

ps. i'm being judgmental but at this point, i don't think i care.

abyss tu ape?

Abyss tu lebih kurang macam lubang jamban la.. Gelap dan dalaaaam.

Actually the guy had already been spending his day mengomel-ing bila Feitseh tanya dia banyak soalan pasal worklist. His biggest issue would be yeah, not knowing how to work in a team. For obvious reasons he doesn't answer well to authority. Nak kata otak lembap, tapi laju je kalau main game masa office hours.

Pergh. Realiti dunia kerja.

ohh, lubang jamban ke? baru aku tau...

nampak nya budak lelaki tu memang tak sesuai untuk bekerja atau ikut arahan lagi kot? kalau dia asyik nak main game je... baik duk umah main PS3...
