At Work: How Some Bosses Perceive Their Employees or Vice Versa

Generally speaking, many employees will often perceive that their employers are jerks, or to be precise, some bosses are a pain in the ass. Often do they did not realise, bosses, on the other hand, think that their employees are slowcoach, unproductive, lack of initiative and negative most of the time. Oh well, both parties have always two sides to every story. Sometimes it boils down to one primary factor - misunderstanding or lack of communication or genuine ignorance of personal preferences. Here are so sketchy scenarios on how we, employees are sometimes perceive at work, though it might not be 100% true all the time. 

Were born handicapped because we ain't octopus
What's wrong with us having only two hands? Some bosses think that we have five pairs of hands by bombarding us with totally unrealistic workloads. We are deemed as a slowcoach if the work is not delivered on time! How nice I can be if only I can work with my extra "hands" which have been resting under the desk all the time or feeling comfy in those shoes!

Are generally procrastinators
To answer the nature call is something you need to do every time - on and off but to certain bosses, they think we try to make an attempt to sleep in the toilet. Even it did come across my mind, mission impossible! How could a person stand that ammonia-pungent smell, sounds of your next-door neighbour farting due to diarrhea, traces of poo-poo on the floor (yucks) and the misplaced freaking fan is exerting cold air while you're squatting for your big business? LOL.......so plan failed. Unless you're in Donald Trump's office tower. Alright, that will be a total different part of the story. 


Like to gossip 
They think that we are gossiping and bitching about them when bosses hear some raucous laughter in the office. They must have gotten the idea wrongly because the well-constructed story about his/her got one foot stuck in the toilet bowl while playing Nintendo in the gents or ladies. See.....we only talk about the foot and the toilet not the living object. 


Is not loyal 
Not that we are perfidious, or traitorous, we respect bosses who deserve it and salute even to the one who will go all the way out to protect his/her team. Hey, do not treat us as your enemy, we are a team. Appreciate your employees no matter what the output is and when we do not follow your words 100% it doesn't mean we are white-anters who slowly undermine you. 
 

Often perceived as irritating
Forget to greet them good morning, they find it rude and disrespecting. Enjoying our panda chocolate biscuit and we do not intend to offer him/her even a piece. Talking in a group is a big no-no because they thought that we accept rumours and embellish it. Have a louder and more hip ring tone than his/her's. Thought we have a real problem with passivity when we cry but the truth is my dog just died!


So all in all, employer and employee often drive each other up the wall. The difference between the peak and the base of the pyramid is always there or else it wouldn't been named as pyramid. 


The corporate pyramid - no wonder employees are doing most of the dirty jobs 

But still........

Your Resignation Letter Should Sound Like This If You Hate Your Boss

Little do we know, our mind has already been permanently shut down from the daily routined task that it gets so fixated nothing is interesting anymore. We wake up to the manually-set rooster crows every morning like a zombie without having the thoughts of being apart with our beloved bed. We brush our teeth, wash our face, bathe, wear our uniform and off we go to work. So here is all the nightmares begin. We tried to make sure our job is done flawlessly but still complain, complain, complain. We hurdle through the e-mails to meet customer demands and requirements, and yet, still complain, complain, complain. We skip our lunch just to make a few conference calls with outbound customers, and still, all we received complain, complain, complain. And who dropped the bombshell? Our superior or boss or orang atas la. The voice within us is getting rebellious each day waiting for an attack order by us. But do you have the guts? How long can you cope stress? Is our boss like other bosses, a megalomaniac? Do they actually think that we are numbskulls at certain level? Then this picture illustrates well....
 
Now...I am not trying to rundown anyone here if your situation is somewhat identical to the scenario here. I noticed many workers these days have not gathered enough courage to tell their boss what they think and what they dislike. It is often all right to underperform at exceptional consequences but not all the time. Remember those days the Japanese has invented some gadget where it has the ability to translate what their pets trying to tell? I think in dog-eat-dog world today, we should have decorate that technology toys on employees. Oh, and a language decoder to the orang atas, please! Hope this will help them understand the feelings and thoughts of their orang bawah if they can read the decoder right.

If you could not withstand the mounting pleasure pressure, go back, take a long hot shower, better yet, do some aroma therapy, and get some face massage cause you gonna write a resignation letter to your to your bad-ass boss, big time perfectionist, and a complete control freak.

Here is how your resignation letter could sound like to your bad boss....

Dear Beloved Boss (Puke),

I resign now without 24 hours notice. Do not stop me and beg me to stay because you will be watching my back as I am walking out of the "cage" now.

Hope to see you again (NOT!).

p/s: You're fired!

Yours sincerely,
A-minute-ago employee/slave/dog/cow
