What I Learned

It's a pain when you couldn't sleep because of what happened during the day at work. There are office politic, back stabbing and playing game etc. All happened at my work place.

Last night I was thinking what should I do about it. Should I look for other job or just stay where I am. With this economic situation it is not easy to find other job. So stay where I am is maybe the best solution.

But lately my work situation gives me really headache. I mean literally headache and difficulties in sleeping etc.

People don't like being told to work harder. What they want is do what they like to do. They don't care if their work is finish or not. Having fun is more important than anything else.

The incident happened couple weeks ago. I asked someone to work harder and finish the job. And what I got was he "back stabbed" me by complaining to the principle. The funny thing was that instead of taking my side, the principle supported him. So I was confused, the principle allowed that person to just sitting around in the office doing nothing. On the other hand, the principle even blamed the situation on me. I know some game playing was happening there. Personal interest between them is one of them.

This morning I got up early and oh God my head was like being hammered hard. I got down on knees and prayed: Oh God what happened? Am I walking on the wrong path? Why is everyone blaming all bad things to me? Why didn't they see the mistakes in others?

Well now I learn something. Getting along with others even superficially is a better way of office living rather than worrying about the work. Making others happy is better in the boss' eyes rather than pushing others to finish the job. I know it is sad and low morality.

It seems like the boss doesn't care if the job is finish or not. But if you asked about it, the boss will deny it. A lot of employees never finish their work even after months and months. And the boss doesn't or cannot do anything about it. Who knows. On the other hand, I finish all my work on time and still got blamed. Am I in the wrong path?

So this is what I decided how I will be doing at work:

1. Put a smiling face
2. Make others happy
3. Focus on my long term goal
4. Don't be discouraged by what I hear and read
5. Take one day at a time

Hopefully it work.
God Bless Me
