Twist

A new learning point. 

People come and go, colleagues change, bosses change, company direction change, so we must always embrace it.

Had a great working relationship with a few colleagues, people whom I know are the real ones working and also did a good job too. Responsible and capable. 

Being a newbie in the company, I had the chance to work with them. We formed a pretty good camaraderie. But sadly, they left. 

New management comes in, the ones who have a reputation of being incapable, but very good at selling themselves, cajoles up to them. 

These people get the opportunity to work again, until the management learns about their true form, and by then it will be too late. They will just leave and say that the situation is hopeless, while the incapable ones get another chance to dupe the new incoming boss. 

The whole cycle repeats. 

This was so different from school. We could have all kind of destructive behaviour, skip class, talk back, disobey, skive. But at the end of the day, everyone was judged by the results. Nothing else mattered. Being the class president but having lousy results is as good as failing. The grades on the final report card made all the talking about who had the ability to go further in learning.

But, the working world is a complete opposite. As long as one develops decent PR skills, their quality of work output does not matter. 

Onto FI I charge, so that I can keep these idiots out of my life for good.
