Office Politic

I've been a banker for 2 years, 3 months and 26 days. I joined my current organisation right after I graduated since I was their scholarship holder (by hook or by crook, I have to join them). I have been dreaming of joining this organisation since I was a little girl where I used to follow my dad, who also work in the same place (but don't get me wrong, I didn't get to join the organisation due to cronyism. Tak mainla kroni2..belajar pandai2 sudah). Though I was bonded for four years, I didn't view it as a death penalty as other scholars may think coz I really want to work there.

I was lucky that when I joined the organisation, my department is among the most important department in the organisation. I kept thinking to myself that this department will help me grow. The environment was so good where everyone who is anyone willing to help each other especially when they are new. This is important since working in a financial industry, you will need all the help that you can get. And this is especially important when you are just a young graduate coz you need people in the industry to take you seriously. I've been to a meeting with the industry where not a single person listen to what I have to say. They just prefer me to keep quiet and act all dolled-up. Over time, people have started to see me beyond my age and my face. They have started to listen to what I want to say.

However, life is not all nice and sunny as a banker. Especially since there are few changes in my department's structure, currently. The office politic is getting intense that you can cut the intensity with a knife. Sometimes it does bring me down especially when your work is not credited to you but to some other guy who sits in front of the PC all day long and Google Talking with his friends or busy playing with his Iphone 4 and Blackberry Torch that he just bought. This kind of people can even get away with murder coz they know how to sweet talk to their bosses without having to move their arse off the comfy chair. And for you, who have been doing all the work from 8 am to 8pm. The credit will never be given to you coz you are not the type who is going to go and suck-up to you boss. And coz you believe in doing the work with all your heart.

And the guy who didn't do anything always got the perks. For this guy, I wish you..Go to HELL!!! The time will come when everyone will know what you have done. Don't treat others as if they are stupid or they are you slave, coz believe me when I say that people start to realise your true colour. The clock is ticking, my friend..hehehe
