wEE~! 2nd consecutive day i've blogged... hope i can continue my stamina for blogging~!
working world~
full of many different kinds of people~
one of them... is the paid-to-do-almost-nothing...
How did they get such a job? i bet everyone out there would like to have such a job toO~ >.<
~~~ Criterias ~~~
- TOP TOP CRITERIA*****you MUST have AT LEAST a MBA... the more the merrier...
- there's a reason why you have to go for Business Studies instead of other engineering courses... so that you can Bull Shit better...
- Apple polisher... that's a MUST...
- Hide-N-Seek expert level... why? so that you can hide the fact that you are not working while seeking fun from whatever there is on your computer to keep you entertained while doing nothing...
- GREAT LIAR - this one... another MUST have technique... so that you can lie your way through... like... "so how's work?"... "Fine!(of course... i'm practically paid to do nothing...)"...
- Questioner... how would your boss knows that you are doing your work? by the questions you ask... if you were to ask outdated questions... its obvious that you are not updating yourself on what's going on around you... if you were to ask dumb questions... its even obvious to the boss that you don't even know your things well or be bothered enough to at least get the facts right...
- Sympathy~ you'll need it... DEFINITELY... why? its IMPOSSIBLE for your colleagues around you to be totally blind to EVERYTHING you do... some how... some way or another... they will learn about the truth some day... its just a matter of time till they know about it... so to prevent them from ganging up against you and report you to the boss whom you've impressed so much... try tackling them first by gaining their sympathy... like... "i need this job... i really really need this job... if i'm jobless... my sick mother would have no supplies of her medicine... my kids would starve... my wife would run away with another man... blah blah..." after pouring all these sad sad things to them on and off... they will buy in your story... and even if one fine day they found out about it... they would still let you off... this is one of the higher level techniques...
- Tai-Chi~ you'll be surprised even non-chinese knows that too... haha...
i guess more or less its there... so with this techniques in hand... you could sit down... get couple of thousands... do whatever you what... but not forgetting to cover up your own ass... and impress your boss... guess this is how slackers in the real world works...
As a student... we more or less experienced slackers in a group during projects... obvious lazy ones... who couldn't be more or less bothered... some who are very manupilative and passes on work to others while giving them a false impression that they are working very hard? (these guys are very very very VERY scary... they can turn the whole world against you... these kind of people should be avoided...) last but not least... the "but i tried" slackers... who do their work... but... its JUNK... and they would usually say that they've tried their best... who would believe when whatever junk they have produced happened to be extracted in exact words and phrase from a website? its not easy to find out...
But slackers and a working organization? IT KILLS...
Why?
Many reasons...
people seeing his example... yet in boss's good books... would be demoralised...
people earning less than them... working like mad... would be demoralised...
people hoping that every single one in the company would strive to achieve great ambitions would feel demoralised because of their behaviour...
and many more which i am to depressed to state further more...
these people are eating up resources of the company but do not produce any results or outcomes... they further worsen the situation be demoralising the people around them... with their pay... the company could hire a few more cheap temps or contracts to do that 1 person's job?
In an organization... headcounts are as important as achieving targets... if you do not hit the target... you are not allowed to hire more... but with so little people... how are you going to achieve your goals? in this kind of situation... a good leader would manage their resources more tactful by employing more low cost and efficient workers instead of a goose which doesn't even lay eggs?
And in this kind of situation... especially an initial stage of launching a product whereby there is very little manpower and very little product awareness in the market with lots of uncertainties... team work is very very very VERY important...
why?
for example... in this team of 4... there is a group leader who bonds all of them very tightly and closely... whenever they have problems... they would stay up and solve it together... they went through thick and thin... they are willing to OT with no extra pay because of the bond which they all haf with each other and the leader... things will progress very quickly...
but when the team is lead by a group leader... who knocks off on the dot... would anybody willing to go through thick and thin with him? not only that... he doesn't bond the group... the team does not have any sense of belonging... they do not rely on each other in times of difficulties... instead... all of them came up with one solution each for 1 problem... there is no coordination nor coorporation... the leader doesn't care... so do they... everybody knocks off on time... nobody OT for free... nobody cares about it... and no progress is made...
this is what the working world taught me... this is what made mi who i am today... it could not be taught in lessons in sch... nor could it be learnt in sch... it could only be experienced and hence you develop your own theory from there... what i say today... i might alter down the road... depending on where i advance my career... this is just an initial stage... but i've learnt alot... really...
my advice to those who do not wish to go into the working society so soon... pls... get in ASAP... part-time... or vacation job... whatever... just try working a few months... it WILL benefit you... =)
