I am with my present company for 6 months.
Workscope wise, I am coping well. But talking abt social skill (sales), I think I am still far away from there. I still can't put down my "pride", I find it weird and awkward to talk to someone whom I don't know at all, feel uneasy when I need to serve my customers during company's dinner or events. Think really need to buck up on this.
Till now, I still asking myself am I able to cope with this.
To be frank, I still unable to accept ppl who speak with sarcastic words, play games behind just to achieve their aim, throwing their authority around.
Why can't ppl be more simple and straight forward?
Really MNC world has to be like this??
Many question marks!!
I encountered some ridiculous scenes:
1) One of the colleague passed a comment : "Oei, u nvr go entertain your customer huh?" u reveal a bit la.. sure can one!"
I really felt like slapping him! I was so mad and I told him off "sorry, this is just a job, nothing very impt to me, maybe u need to do so in order to be what you are!!"
2) Yesterday we had golf tournament, the door gift was a tempur pillow. During the dinner, the DDM/SGM would go round and distributed the pillow, as staff, we need to pass the pillows to them. As this was the 1st time I was doing this, I was telling one colleague that I felt funny.. Then one of the SM heard, he turned over and said "why funny?, u think the customers will ask you to sleep with them huh?"
I was damned pissed off and angry! I stared at him and walked away!
What a disgusting fellow!! No wonder he always chooses to talk to a female colleague who wears short skirt or tight hugging dress!!
I really feel very disgusted and I am glad that I am not in his team and no need to see him or talk to him everyday! Being a SM is nothing big deal!
Just wanna tell those dirty fellows, you guys need the job more than I do.
I came here to work just to gain some experience and also to learn new things.
I can jolly well sit at home and be a homemaker. This is no big deal to me!
Don't make me lose all respect to you as your posts are.
Now looking at you all, I feel like looking at some disgusting, low class animals!!
I begin to believe some remarks I heard abt them
And I also believe a sentence I read from a book, when ppl makes or pass comments about you is because you are a THREAT to them.
And this is called OFFICE POLITICS!!!
Sigh, what to do? The working world is full of such people! I can't stand office politics ... that's why I've chosen to stay at home! Though tough, more so without a maid now, I have no regrets ... I am so much happier! No need to see people's "face" to do things. I am like my own boss at home when the "CEO" (aka hubby) is not around. =p
ReplyDeleteOffice politic is always ugly... However, whatever politic they have in the office, I make sure they know that I am not the kind of person they can mess with.... I will be a " bitch" if I need to...and I make sure they pay for it " big time". Even my boss don't really dare to mess around with me....
ReplyDeleteI hate office politic...but realistically every company have they own politics... Thanks to all these politics... I learnt how to protect myself and be aggressive whenever needed.
