Work
has been kind of miserable the last six months or so because I have been cursed
with useless colleagues. One would expect the children and their parents to be
the ones who are difficult – and some of them are, but my biggest challenge at
work are the people I work with.
They
are divided into three:
First,
you get the ones who are just downright lazy, will do nothing for themselves, refuse
to learn or acquire new skills and expect others to clean up their mess; the
ones who think they know everything there is to know, and who are threatened by
your ability to work; lastly, the ones who are so vindictive, that they make
every effort to derail your projects or attempts to affect positive change.
I do
not need to be defined by a career or money – I do not chase titles or
positions, nor do I covet millions. Work should be legal, enable me to pay the
bills and allow me enough time to devote to things that do define me – family and
other interests.
When
it comes to my career and workplace, I ask only for the following: that you do
your work, allow me to do mine, take responsibility for your successes and
failures, and remain professional at all times.
You
don’t need to like me – I have friends – but respect, boundaries and WORK ETHIC
is imperative.
Sadly, I seem to have ended
up in a place where these are appallingly lacking.
