Work Sucks!

July 8, 2008

Who here disagree with me? Well if you do, then you must be either your own boss or some very high ranking big shot in some very big company doing absolutely nothing at all. Or you could be just some high ranking elite Singapore government official. Anyways, my point is that for most of us, working can be a real drag. I am normally quite a very enthusiastic person in regards to working, but even I get down sometime. And yes, work sucks! Don’t you just hate it when everything in the office just fails and you end up tired, miserable and angry at the world? I don’t want to be that kind of person.

I guess the main cause of why people hate going to work is the work environment. Your boss could be one crazy person whose sole purpose in life is to make everyone (especially you) miserable. Or your co-workers could be those scheming kind who spends most of their time trying to rat you out and playing politics instead of working? Sometimes it is just amazing to see that there are people out there who don’t work for a living, yet get paid to do absolutely nothing but make life miserable for everyone else. Well, welcome to the real world. I know for a fact that in every company in the world, there are always politics to deal with. And sometimes, smaller companies are worse. You would expect big companies where they are many opposite sides with nearly equal power battling it out for control, in small companies, we usually see two major groups fighting it out. And those are in your face kind of politics. Definitely not your average behind the back stabbing which you would expect.

I always find that companies whose boss fails to control the amount of politicking among their staff are usually the ones in deep financial trouble. Of course, this is not definite but a good number of them will be or should be in trouble as politicking fails to achieve anything. In fact, if the staff spend most of their time fighting, what can be done to solve or tackle the company’s problems? Nothing. If they want to play politics, then it should be their downfall.
