Evaluation time....


This is the time of the year where you are evaluated on your performance throughout the year.

To those that have a KPI (Key Performance Indicator), it will be easier to gauge whether you have achieve or missed your target. Yang tak ade....try and pick the best out of many la kan....

Rata2nya kita akan over-zealous dlm mengisi borang nie....practically none will mark themselves below average or not able to achieve target...using Likert scale of 1-5, most will fill-in as 3 or 4. And perhaps those who felt that they are world class performer....may fill in as 5.

Which brings me to one of my office colleague, it is no secret to the whole office that he used to be the favourite son of one of the top director here....with that he enjoys meteoric rise in promotion and salary. Apa saje masalah dia....dia akan dapat backing top director tersebut ler...kira ada cable baik punya la kan...( I was not with the company yet....all this were told by more than 5 people from diff.departments...so the possibility of it being true...is high). Now, we have a new top director....who doesnt "makan pujuk" atau "kaki report"...so he suffers la kan...but yet he marks himself as world class performer in 6 out of his 10 aptitude questionaires....i mean, what self belief?!! If he were a lollypop, he will be sucking himself!

But suka hati dia laa....dia pun tak kacau aku, cuma ramai duk cerita itu ini ...aku pun terpaksa cerita kat korang lak....nanti aku simpan lama2 dlm hati, aku gila lak....you wouldnt want a crazy blogger do you? Muahahahhaha....

Anyway, my principle is simple...work hard...play hard and party like hell. You dont need to brag abt it, or tell your boss everything that need to be done...becoz if you really slog out in the office, people will notice anyway...they know you can solve their problem, they know they can relate to you becoz you are a fellow man, so why the need to suck up to your bosses and tell inflated things?

My guess is simple...perhaps this people have low self confidence...they may actually have low skills but desired more, unfortunately dont wanna work hard for it...they wanted it easy, they wanted to be accepted by the top boss, so they becomes barua...this psychological backburner doesn't come during their working days, they have harboured this sucking up attitude since they were little...probably due to sibling rivalry, or small genitalia, or i dont know....may be constant failures in their life, didnt get to get into borading school perhaps....not in the first 11 in the football team, not being elected as a prefect, being jilted in their first approach to their long admired girlfriends or boyfriends, the list is endless...

So they resort to other methods....which is unfortunate, because they may be a really nice person...but something wicked this way come should they are pushed or threathen...

All i can say is that...believe in yourself...and trust god on this, you will reap the reward of your own honesty and kindness...if not today, perhaps tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow...if not wait laa....sabar pun separuh dari iman...heh..heh.
