How to read in bewteen the lines

Mospeada SG

u know lah...how it is with the corporate world...

pple dun speak their minds...or they will just go round and round...

and when u go and execute the project, they will come and tell u...

this is not what i want...did we talk abt this already....

how do u deal with this?

BrUtUs SG

no idea… maybe its the opposite they wanted…?

Mospeada SG

they will shout at you...

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT?

sometimes i just feel like telling them....

Can you cut all the craps and go straight to the point?

bluejuice SG

Its always like that..

People beat around the bush..

They don't tell u exactly what they want..

They want you to guess...

The don't know what they want...

since its a project should have a sit down session of gng thru the requirements n specs b4 its put to work... this way u can at least show them the black n white of the agreed...

Fatum SG

1. accept that you'll always be wrong ....

2. accept that the other person is always right .....

3 . refer to above ....

there ! ....

Ferret SG

x2.

never underestimate the power of the written word

Mospeada SG

many a times, there will be offsite discussion wit the boss...

the boss will talk abt the project....

then all these are not captured in black and white mah

bluejuice SG

after discussion.. go back office write email summarising all points discussed to boss..

Mospeada SG

if in that case, wun it be unefficient...

cos time will be wasted writing emails and replying to them...i would foresee boss replying to the email saying more he want to do...and that will most probably deviate from the original intent of the project liao

de_middle SG

sometimes they dunno the answer so they ask for your opinion....then later will even say "ah.......that's what i thought about too" Rolling Eyes

bluejuice SG

yah lor.. waste time.. but then maybe write it for only impt decisions made?

Mospeada SG

i have learned a term in my company ...

brutally frank...

and i learned that at time i am like that...

my boss has talked to me and asked me to "praise" the other parties before i shoot them down...

to me, i was thinking...where got time....one shot one kill...dun talk so much....

BrUtUs SG

tats y must finalise the specs… any changes are to be documented n terms n conditions apply…
