When you see a posting, it means that i'm not working. obviously i can't be doing both at the same time. duh...
Today's a very unsettling day. You see all sorts of ppl in the workplace, the good the bad and the ugly. There are some who are purely in it for the money, some ppl just want to get by and can't be bothered, and some the truly rare ones, do see the greater meaning of what they do. No matter what their aims are, there are those who maintain their dignity and pride and refuse to bend on their principles and conscience, and there are those who don't see the wrong in trampling all over you to get what they desire. The prob comes when the org sees these "tramplers" as ppl with drive and motivation. The tramplers are often rewarded with promotions and pay raises. When the middle and upper managment is crowded with such tramplers, you'll see the turnover rate hit the roof. ppl see the example set by the tramplers and are unhappy. when you see such ppl around, and you know your org praises the trampler attitude, would you want to stay and become one like them? if you know that you're not cut out to be one of them, wouldn't you leave too?
There are many reasons why ppl act in certain ways, but idealistic me refuses to conform to the standard expectations of monkey see monkey do. i don't want to be labeled as one of them. i want to be the only one who doesn't get my fingers and soul tainted. i will not trample on others, nor make myself a nuisance to others, because i know i'm above all that.
