bullshit!
at work, i'm just a typical quiet employee that everyone wouldn't notice if i'm around or not. and i don't mind it. as long as i know that i'm doing my job pretty well and giving my deliverables on time with quality. and my bosses like my work.
but for the past couple of weeks, i'm observing some of my co-workers on their attitude towards work. some of them, not all, are exhibiting this "i-am-so-damn-smart" aura. but when it comes to actual performance, i hate to say it but they suck. the quality of their deliverables is not good. yeah, they can deliver on time but has lots of defects on it. and when they got confronted, they have sooo many excuses about it.
another thing, if one of our colleagues missed some tasks unintentionally or due to other priorities, they're always reiterating his/her fault. even copying the management on the email threads informing that the person did something bad. and they're like implying that if they're the ones to do it, that won't happen.. well.. but in reality, that happens to them too, more often that not.. i dont know what they're up to. but it seems to me that everytime they put down a person, they could feel within themselves that they're far better off.. but the way i see it.. err... never.. they just prove that they're jerks!
the sad thing about it in most of the company, those jerks get the promotion easily.. because they're so "visible" to the management.. but that doesn't impress me.. i know and i've witnessed a lot of it that they usually take credits which should be given to their colleagues or subordinates. if there's anything good happen, they're always in front. but if the problems arise, they always find someone to point at and put him/her in a situation that the poor employee has nothing to say but to accept it and get all the blame.
now.. in analyzing what those jerks are doing....
do they care about others? no!
do they care about the deliverables? no!
do they care about the company? no!
do they care about their bosses? no!
this is because they care about nothing or nobody in this world but themselves... and that's bullshit!
