Caffeine overdose

Cant seem to sleep today. Drank a cup of coffee in the morning and a cup of tea in the afternoon. 

Tonight manage to arrange a hotpot session. Same at jurong. And same with my colleagues and this time include my bf. Finally he can order variety and share food. He always nag me about this to arrange with more ppl but a bit difficult. 

My colleague also extended invitation to him to join us for crab party on 20 aug. Variety of food. This colleague of mine is very nice. She has been crab keeping and growing her crabs. Then is time to eat them so she offered us to a crab party. 

Sadly I heard that she resigned due to constant complaints from other departments. Her bosses doesnt side her and failed to work with her to resolve matters. Instead just consistently judging it as her work performance is bad without understanding her perspective. 

I can understand and empathize with her because i knew how rumors and things spread through people. I was once a victim in this company about it. Politics are often part and parcel of work environment. We can keep it minimum but nv zero. I once confronted my boss about it too. And I stand up against her judgement a couple of times for my staff. 

Certain people in the company like to feel superior over judging other people. There are also people who like to use past work culture to criticise others. Eg. We also always get scolded by our superiors in the past also like that. Nowadays people cant get scolded. So weak. To me u get scolded is your prob. Dont tell me about old school days. If u know the behavior is not right then why followed it? 

Some times just think is there better ways to deal with it? Work place is not a place for u to lashed ur anger out at anyone even if their position is lower than you. We all work for money to be honest. Nobody is there to tolerate your temper. Manage your own emotions. And dont use your seniority to bully the juniors and dont play judge. Because you are not and you are not in court. 

Also a judge look at facts and evidence not rumors and opinions. Keep your own comments to youself. Especially when you are management level. What u speak what u do ppl are watching. When results are not consistent with your words, reality hits back at you in your face. How long can you keep not producing results and blaming others? At a high management role somemore. 🤔
