Some things never change

Just some thoughts & updates from me (since the list is quiet for a while)

Yesterday, the new girl in my team resigned. That makes it 2 out of 4 whom I hired who quit. She was here barely 3 weeks. The previous one lasted 4 days.

Hahaha ... (ironic)

I remember unca lim saying before that I will always be an extremist, so probably I am.

The 2 who stayed are quite happy with the challenge I give them and don't want less. The 2 who left, directly or indirectly, mentioned they cannot work under me ... that I demand too much or they felt they not up to my standard. 2 extreme situations in the same place, same boss.

But how about them seeing that they don't take responsibility for their action? how about them not quitting and biting the bullet, work harder and improve? take up my challenges? focus on solutions, not excuses & blames? do they think I like scolding them or giving pressure? I also reward & recognize people, doesn't that count?

Isn't life about the former and not the latter? People always blame the boss or the boss blame the worker ... that's the easy way out isn't it? Can't it be simply professional, matured approached?

Ah, working life. Sigh.

some people (out of my team) gave me feedback that I was too tough on the girls, in fact saying I should not thrash them so directly. But knowing myself (& as some of you might predict), I am not too bothered cause my 1st reaction was ... if 2 can stay on, that does not make me bad, perhaps the problem was them?

But now, a thought to ponder, is it I am still the same old mean cuss?

Anyway, life goes on ... let me grab that can of Heineken ... any thoughts welcome.

Cheers! :)
