Office Politics

Today Papers has an article on how bloggers shd go to sch to learn wat r e rules governin bloggin so dat we would not write stuff dat r offensive in anywae to anyone... actually i tot its ez to not write offensive things if we clearly rem dat everythin dat we blog can b read by anyone... even e pple we r bad-mouthin abt... dat would serve as a check to our talkative hands...

of cos u would sae, 'ya wat, dun tok behind pple's back! if u r unhapi wif em, shd let em noe instead of tellin everyone ur negative feelins towards e pple n not confrontin e person face to face...' true to a certain extent, but written words does not allow discussion after e pple involved read abt wat we r resentful abt... so if we r unhapi, either confide in a few pple to seek how we can make things beta n not juz complain abt e pple or circumstance... if things get out of hand then go n discuss wif e pple involved how things can b beta...

my gosh y m i rattlin on n on abt all this??? wanted to tok abt office politics. actually its cos e underlyin thing is i cant tok much abt in wat wae m i unsettle abt office politics cos any description in any wae would lead to e pple noein wats goin on... someone said bloggin is juz like writin a diary. i beg to differ. its abt keepin ur frens updated abt ur lives n sharin wif em things dat reali matter to u, but wif a logical mind dat some things juz cannot b mentioned...

so, office politics. in my previous company, it was not obvious to me cos we were travellin from client to client n seldom sittin in e same office fer long. in companies where e employees r stuck together 24/7, politics will rise n resentment will grow. cos humans r fallen creatures. slander, envy, resentment etc thrives when we allow it to. familiarity breeds contempt. dats so true. cos there r things we wun like abt others. maybe someone is so likeable so others will get envious n resent e person. maybe someone is a high performer n has management attention, so others get jealous n start to speak ill of e person. this is so common in most office environments...

Psalm 91:4-6
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

God spoke to me through these verses. I do not need b afraid cos He is wif me... ^_^
