Back then, when I was a student, I always looked up to my dad every time he came back from work. By 5.30pm, the whole family will gather for tea & and either mom or dad will tell us stories, be it fiction or non-fiction, I just love listening to them. And at the end of the story, they will always pointed out 'the morale of the story is....'. Dad, being the only breadwinner in our family then, seldom talks about his work and colleagues unless mom asked him.
One thing that dad wants to avoid the most at his work place is from getting involve in a so-called 'office politics' that majority involve and lead by FEMALES. I told dad, "just ignore what ever it is lah.." Right!!!! Now, having stepping my own foot into this competitive & no mercy working world, I slowly get to understand on how much one can be affected by this freaking cold-blooded crime.
It is more or less like a real world or national politics. One will praise and worship the higher ranked & discredits those who are the competitors only for the sake of raise, promotion & surprise surprise, some did it just to get an attention & be notified. It is ridiculous! But hey, this is the fact that I bet most of us would agree with me of having the same environment at their work place. Small, medium or big organizations, 'office politics' are common. Some will go to the extreme which can stir angers and jealousy amongst fellow colleagues.
Many times I questioned myself why do we still possess such in-humane character and/or attitude. We always claim ourselves to be the new generation with incredible knowledge and highly professional self-educated. But do we really act like one? Or are we going back to the medieval time, when our ancestors used to practice the head hunting on other tribes when ever there is a dispute over land? Or are we losing our souls over what the world have to offer us? Are we purposely letting ourselves to be blind folded and live our lives in denial every times we 'kill' others? It is sad, isn't it?
Word can become fire and word can turn the world into a fiery war, and yet we are daring to play with word in our little hut!!

That is the reason why, "work" is so out of topic; be it after work or outside the office hour. :)
