I happen to work in Central Singapore on one of the higher levels of the building. Yet , the whole experience of working here has somewhat openend me to the harsh realities of the working world. In fact, I have in the course of my work come to despise a group of people, the despise which seems to grow with each passing day. Why is that so? Simply, these people come to work in a mask, and go through their routine work with the mask firmly on...Anyway, examples are always the better choice to illustrate certain points, so here goes..
Scenario A: It is mid afternoon in the office and the usual group of people have come to congregate in one of the cubicles nearby... The reason being given for this large scale congregation? The usual answer given..."Oh! We need to discuss some things for the upcoming project..." Ah, this always seems to tide them through... Anyway, on closer observation of the contents of the so called "project discussion", we come to overhear words like "holiday trips", "the latest gossip" and etc etc... Now, not that I am the enthusiastic eavesdropper, mind you...Their talk reaches such high volumes that their voices are amplified throughout the entire office for all to hear...Furthermore, one can hear the sharp and cynical grins and laughters being emitted from the cubicle from time to time...and not forgetting the sound of munching chips and snacks from the cubicle... I have ever since been thinking: Why the f*** are these people getting paid to chit chat?? These are people who bum their asses off, yet there are also others who work their asses off for the same pathetic amount of salary....WTF!!
Scenario B: He struts around the office with an exceptionally irritating presence, with a high degree butt, term given to him due to the architecture of his body. His head is way too big for his main frame and yes...not forgetting the ass....Anyway, he's been rumoured to be pretty capable...(my ass...) thus he's supposed to be supervising around...but wtf!!! all day long, all i see is him strutting around doing nothing....
The above mentioned are simply the negative experiences I have had from working in this organisation...yet there have also been wonderful positive experiences I have gained in the process. Yet... I doubt I would ever want to go back to that place to work again once my term is up.
