Human nature at work place

[cyclops76]

Although i have really accumulated tons of experience from my past 4 years at work, however most of my colleagues and ex colleagues work attitude can only be describe with a word " Taiji". Till now my work philosophy is still that "if you are being paid to perform certain tasks, you jolly well do it". Today when i was driving back from lunch with one of my lunch partner and we were discussing some work issues in the car. It so happens that i was her superior and during the drive back, i was asking her about performing certain tasks which needs some co-operation with other departments. She was giving loads and tons of excuse on why the task cannot be done and the miscommunication that had occurred. To me only one thing is very clear, we are the service provider and we will serve without grudges and excuses. When all of us purchase things, we are always complaining about the sales person on how poor their attitude is but when we are in the shoes of the sales person, we cannot perform. This is how pathetic the whole situation is. The task the was mentioned earlier then could be completed with me intervening and doing the liaising. To me, it is not a very difficult task and it is definitely achievable. Hopefully the situation will improve with guidance.
The world will be a better place tomorrow.
Enjoy today and live for tomorrow !!!
