Against Group Polarization
Sunday, January 21st, 2007I was able to catch up with Glenda last Friday at Decanter. My dear, it was so wonderful to hang out with you and I had a great time. Talking to you made me realize how much I miss all the buzz back at In2. The team spirit that has always been at In2 is unquestionable. I know that despite everyone’s busy schedule, no one’s selfish because everyone backs everyone up and the support will never be overlooked.
I know you could not always get what you wish for. But all the negative energy at the new place makes me feel like I want to give up. Group polarization and gossips are so yesterday. Why can’t we just unite and get on with work and life? It’s so LOW that you have to corner off a gang and shoo off others who tries to blend in. And this is coming from a senior executive, whose way older from me, shame on you.
And worst of all, I’ve been the subject of untrue gossip. Come on people, let’s do something much more constructive than to mulut laser about other people. Just because I get on well with one of your subordinate doesn’t mean a thing at all coz I can also get on well with your other subordinates. Are you afraid that they like me better than you? Well, that’s because I do my job well, so just f*** off! This has never happened in my dealing with my promoter boys at my last job. Be professional. Don’t punch below the belt just to humor yourself and others.
Also, don’t judge the others just because they are a little different. So what if they have different taste in fashion. They might dress and talk differently but I think you should look at yourself before jabbing mean comments about other people. Wake up and smell the coffee! Discrimination is SO LAST CENTURY!
I hope if anyone from the new place is reading this will be enlightened. A change in perception is seriously needed. We need a positive working environment in order to be productive. I hope my unbiased views will help make the place a more comfortable place to be.
