Damn My Bloody Mouth
|11:38 PM
Hate my mouth sometimes. Truly I do. I can be so bluntly honest that I many cases I could only be called an ultimate dumbass. Being constantly truthful is not good and I mean it. It can be really crap at times especially when it comes to playing mind games or political games in the work environment. Which is just ultimate crap either way you choose to play your game. Basically, all you have are only 2 options.
Option 1: Be and idiot (like me so far) and answer every question truthfully
Outcome: Offend your colleagues or worse still your boss, usually unintentionally, as you may be seen as “sabo-ing”, “fly-kite-ing” or just “fucking aournd”.
Option 2: Tailor your answers to all questions depending on your audience and be ready to warp or alter “the truth” to please people.
Outcome: Seemingly happy colleagues and bosses, BUT at an extremely high price as you would constantly be weaving this intricate web of “half truths” or “lies”, which also means that you would have to remember exactly what you said to who. In fact, it is a huge ass bomb waiting to go off the moment you lose focus or accidentally slip.
Well I guess, this is working life ain’t it? I personally feel that all companies should be evaluated by “politics specialists” whom will determine the level and the extent of office politics that occur in very company AND recommend the extra amount of allowance or pay to give to their employees who have to deal with this EXTRA work. Haha!
I guess I am just plain silly or just wayyyyyy too naïve regarding this shit. Time to grow up and FAST!
Sigh. Moo~~~~~
PS: Here is just a short list of the things which are already considered as taboo to be spoken of by us, as Singaporean new employees, namely, my pay, my allowance, my place of accommodation, Singaporean average pay, China politics, Taiwan politics, religion, independence rights and the list goes on…..
moo.
Daneo.
