Rhonda SG Can't escape you, Fatum! How are you doing? tare, sorry to hear about your mitchy (male bitch) boss! I feel quite lucky here because if unfairness occurs at the workplace, we have avenues for redress open to us and I have used those avenues a few times myself since coming here. Don't think I can ever work in SG again. Don't know how 'open' your boss is like but it's quite a waste to step away from a job you like and have colleagues who are generally good to you. You seem to enjoy the job if not for your mitchy boss so ... I wonder if you can bring the issue up with him. Not sure how he's like though... It works here because workplace conflict is settled quite objectively (most times ). But yeah... people can get petty and revengeful if you broach the sensitive topic with them or with HR.
av98m SG Hi Rhonda!! Myself I actualy have little trouble with bosses, its more co-workers I cannot tahan
Rhonda SG Sigh... all I want is uninterrupted sleep! It's slightly over four months since I started having weird dreams / nightmares EVERY SINGLE BLARDY NIGHT!!! For the past week, I've gone through the day feeling as if I'm nursing a major hangover, but the thing is - I did not drink!!! I don't know what to do now - see a GP (but what can he do except prescribe sleeping pills which I REFUSE to take) / a psychologist (who might hospitalise me for my tortured mental state and fragile emotional condition) / an exorcist (to cast away whatever evil is haunting me every night)... Maybe, got some tumour in the brain...
Rhonda SG Thank your lucky stars your bosses aren't the problem cause they can make the situation REEEEELY bad! Good to see you online! How are you doing? Saw IV is out. I'm waiting to own the boxed set!
Fatum SG maybe it's some sort of "sauce head" Rhonda .... or something you "witnessed" at the hospital ? .... I would think a priest ....
av98m SG well, having colleagues out to sabo you is no walk in the park either I actually took an unscheduled day off recently just to allow myself time to cool off
Rhonda SG Har? Eh... so what kinda problem is it? Interrupted sleep? Bad-quality sleep? Maybe we can go see a shrink together!
Rhonda SG What's a 'sauce head'?? You're too cheem for me! Say, that's what Bear's sis suggested too! She said, "Go see a Priest! NOW!!"
tare SG yes i like my job very much, it's just him i can't stand... my other sec was suggesting i "confront" him... but i'm not good at tis [not mildly at least]... i understand cos he's stressed out, but it has nothing to do with me... being the typical chinese BOY [read childish], i dun think he'll take it very well if i confront him... *sigh* like av said, i LL lor...
Fatum SG just go see a priest now lah ... I'm guessing it's the nature of your work place .... hospitals are not "clean" places ...
elindra SG RHOOONNNDAAA *hugs* Well what is worse than a bitchy female boss Is a bitchy, petty male boss. They are worse than females I just had my insurance agent come down to get this policy on female health
Rhonda SG It's not typically in the Singapore culture to address such issues face-to-face. However, it is here and I've learnt to do what they do here, to good effect. Take a deep breath, go up to him and say something like, "Say, boss! I really love working here in your department. I do have some issues that bother me though. Sometimes, it's hard for me to do my best when I sense that you're not quite pleased with my performance. When that happens, I get upset and anxious because I really want to maintain a good working relationship with you. Can we work on something that will ensure good cooperation between us?" OK, sounds like it's from some textbook but I've done this here. That's why I love working here - things are fairer and more objective.
