I got irritated with someone the other day, supposedly my “superior”. You know how some people enjoying bossing everyone around just by saying, “I’m the Boss here!” or
“I’m Team Leader, so listen to me!” or
“Who is supposed to head this project, you tell me?”
WTF.
If you’re just giving a suggestion, as a leader or superior, you should always consider its value, instead of closing your ears and refusing to listen.
I was merely asking a simple question the other day, and I was shot down with a “Who’s the boss here? I’m the Boss!”
Which technically meant, “Shut the f*ck up, you’re not entitled to ask me this.”
He just didn’t want to answer the question. I was angry at his response because he obviously forgot my contribution to the whole thing.
I hate people like this. It’s not easy to work with people like this or even be friends!
Being a good boss or team leader is a demanding task, you must know how to lead your team as well as be apart of a team as a team player. If you fail to pull your weight around, i.e., you do not contribute to the project at hand, nobody will like you using the phrase, “I’m the Boss here!”.
Phrases like these to remind who’s the boss should only be used when there’s a rebellious team mate who does not contribute at all.
One day, I will tell you the whole story. Politics, I tell you, you can never escape – office politics, school politics, family politics, blogging politics, etc.
I’m 1st !!!
that reminds me of The Politics of Blogging.
cool down bimbo…repeat after me fuuuuuuu sahhhhh..take a few deep breath…again fuuuuuuu sahhhhhhh…hope this helps…:)
ask you department organize a game of paintball. On the field, you look for your “boss” and shoot him. The revenge very satisfying one.
wah..endroo – 75% of the posts here!
Anyway…
fret not…
Managers with that type of kiasu behavior are not ‘tai fong’ enough. When they eventually learn to be that…it’s normally too late.
Obviously your superior is just eager to have all the credit to himself. Don’t worry, success comes to people who really deserve it.
Yes..some superiors want credits for themself but work is done by someone else. They (managers) know where to chip in.. in betwwen progress to let bosses think that they are actually seeing the managers doing work. Some managers very cunning one.
somtimes they’re so immature you feel like screaming back at them
bimbobum: no choice. life is like that. Its a durian life afterall.
