How do you cure the bad blood between 2 feuding departments in your workplace?
Erase memories of temper tantrums, bad behaviour, object throwing and name calling?
Why, have a goodwill get-together to foster ties, of course. A bowling outing followed by steamboat dinner has been proposed.
All very noble, but please count me out, because for heaven’s sake, I am three decades old and am at a very mature stage in my life where I can decide for myself exactly the kind of company that I desire. If we could get along before, we won’t need a farcical outing to bond. If we never hit it off right from the beginning, hitting a few pins and sharing a bowl of soup ain’t going to endear us to each other. The core problem is a lack of respect for each other, often resulting in misperceived superiority and unfair criticisms of our work.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not being anti-social and unfriendly. I think I get along rather well with everyone at work, but I don’t think the real issue here is friendship. Heck, you don’t even have to like me. Just check your arrogance at the door when you enter the hospital. A little professionalism is all I ask.
I’ll be having leg cramps on that day. You can bet on that.
I could not have agree more
Very well written
I just don’t understand, why can’t professionals behave professionally?
Hmm…I think this happens mostly in gov hosp and not private… (my opinion)..
Yeah Yenjai, I can’t understand why people just can’t leave their nasty personalities at home when they come to work.
You’re right Eve…imagine, if one was an ass**** in private practice, that’s akin to “smashing one’s own rice bowl”
kawan, you ok ka?! chinese saying ‘make friend is always better than make enemy ma.. cheers!!!! be a happy mum yea!
Hehe Jason, for the sake of the little one I try to remain in a “zen-like” state all the time…but I also recall a Chinese saying that goes something like; “Some things can’t be forced…”!
