The one with bad communication
The one with bad communicationWhat's the best way to address an issue to others that seems inappropriate to you? Straight-forward and direct manner? Will the other party think you are rude and full of yourself?
In a 'long-winded' way, asking and knowing more background before giving a conclusion? Will the other party say something like "just say what u wanna say, dun beat about the bush"? I am sure all had met situations whereby good intentions are misunderstood, and i met with one today.
Maybe for the past 2 years in CPC, i had been exposed to office politics. I had learnt how siam arrows, and tried to ensure everything's in place. I tend to think in terms of superior's shoe so that i will not do things that she might deem inappropriate as well.
In addition, i will also tend to 'warn' colleagues if i think what's happening does not seem to be pleasing to superior's sight. Cos i know, when the weather turns bad, it's the whole office who gets it and i hate it when that happens. It might seem a lot to take mentally for some people, but i guess i had already gotten used to all this shit and will do all it takes just to ensure the volcano remains domant in the office.
Of course, it doesn't mean i dun make mistakes, given my nature, there's always instances when playfulness gets over my head. I do need people to let me know when that happens. But seriously, i dun need them to use those instance to get back at me when they are not happy with what i am commenting. Because that seems too childish to me.
A bad mis-comm indeed. I had been thinking about it on my way home, and had to go out for a run to vent my frustations. Guess i will just leave it as it is. No point dwelling on it since i am working only till the end of week. Still good friends good colleagues, let's just treasure the moments we are left with.
Out. time for some dota action.
