Bosses
Tuesday, 19 May 2009
I woke up this morning and thought of a rather interesting topic that I would love to post onto my blog. People, you might have met these bosses before.
I graduated from Uni in Year 2005 and i join the workforce RIGHT AFTER i graduate. (My last paper was on a Friday and I join my new firm on the following Monday). So since Yr 2005 till 2009, technically I should have work for about 4 years but then bearing in mind that I was away in Melb for a year to do my Master, so I have roughly 3 years of full-time work experience.
Well, I know thats not a lot comparing to the next 30 years of work life to come but up till today, I happen to have work under 3 kind of bosses that I would love to share with everyone. I know these bosses of mine do have a side of them that is nice and good. But then again, I think we are more interested in how 'bad' they are since I believed most of us actually can't stand our bosses. So here goes!
Boss 1
Cheap, Unappreciative and Workaholic
Well, thats how I will describe my first boss (I know some of my ex colleagues will be reading this entry but hey, i'm entitled to my own opinion). I was very underpaid when I join the firm but then as a fresh grad, I know I don't have much bargainning chip and afterall, I was eager to learn. Eventually, not being appreciate for what I have been contributing and the really long working hours became the last tipping point.
Boss 2
Control Freak & Mrs Gossip (with very bad breath)
Her motto: Just do what i tell you to, nothing more nothing less. On my first day of work, she gave me a piece of paper that listed all the house rules she has established for us - including no one is allowed to wear perfume or any scent when they come to work. Her reason - because the office is a confine environment. Naturally, i can't be bother with her.
Oh, and she will gossip about you behind your back with your other team mates. And yes, she gossip about everyone.
Boss 3
She thinks the world revolve around her
She thinks we are on 24/7 standby for her. She will call you, sms you anytime, anywhere she likes. She can call you on a Sunday to ask you to go back to the office just to get something for her. She will sms you at 3am in the morning on something that could have waited till a more decent hour. She will ask you to kick a big fuss to the hotel's staff because she lost her favourite black dress in one of their rooms (which she don't really remember was it Hotel A or Hotel B that she might have misplace the dress, or maybe it was hidden at the bottom of her luggage).
Hahahahaha...I hope everyone will enjoy this post. Some of you maybe unfortunate enough to have encounter this kind of bosses as well.
