I currenlty managed a team of 10 people, mainly low educated
staff , some due for retirement some just completed NS.
Everyday is a battle , cos there are a few group and gang in
them , some infighting between them , some fighting against me ,
and worse other dept alos or ....and pple from other dept , alway
trying to push work to us and complain at our work to department
head and GM if we do not do their bidding.
these pple some are unmovtivated and out to create trouble
, you will of course say if you are the superior you must
motivated them , trust me it never easy , these pple are out to get
on your nerve, they do not want to follow your instruction liek to
do things to their way , ignore your constant reminder to update
them on their work and meet the dateline
taking chance to add blur ,shout back threaten you, give excuse
and excuses for not doing their work , or screwing up , you must go
and clear all their shit , give them warning letter fat
hope , before you can do it they already preemptively made
complaint to managemnet , HR about you ,,, these pple may be low
educated , but they are smart and cunning , they can lie without
brinking their eye ,, and my boss knowing the situation to preserve
himself , side them and play politics and push the blame on you
dunno how long can I take thsi much longer , all my the
precedecessor last less then 3 months , I already tong more than
one year cos no choice cannot quit without a job and got family to
feed
I have no choice but to take all the humiliation and insult
everyday from my subordinate from hell !!
anyone got experience to share how to manage dificult pple
