*shrugs* people like him will never learn.
Where you fall down, is where you should get back on your knees
again. Running away means he will forever live in his toady
well.
Let me tell you something more about the realities of life.
The world is in a total mess. The US MNC I am working for has
also been impacted pretty badly. This is when you start to see the
true colors of people, INCLUDING management.
A manager (in my idealistic view) should be one that is able to
see the long-term view of the company, to make decisions on certain
undertakings that is good for the long-term of the company. Or
he/she is one that takes good care of his people.
What I am seeing now is that the highest heads of my dept, whom
are in US, are more concerned with keeping their jobs, than it is
to keep the jobs of the people under them. In addition, they no
longer are interested in projects that bring value to the company,
but which takes up to 6 mths to complete. All they care about now
is about looking impt, doing fire-fighting, focusing on keeping
their jobs.
This is the REALITY of the world. Virtuous leadership is rare
and almost extinct. Practical leadership exists throughout. People
like the threadstarter live in another world, thinking that our
leaders in SG are concerned with the citizens, when in fact, they
are more concerned with their own jobs (They don't serve the
people, they treat politics as a career).
In fact, the threadstarter looks to be no more than just a
student, building castles in the air. He should wake up and face
the reality, he cannot survive in this dangerous world
Thats what happens when our entire social, economic and
political system is based on fucking someone else to make another
buck. Paraphrasing Edgar Allen Poe, "To worldly success, villainy
is a surer path than virtue".
If you want to go with the flow, you must lose your humanity.
Being human, placing human concerns above all else.
