Venting
I need to find a new job.
It’s not that the job I have right now is bad. I still like most of the people I work with. And though most of what I do is quite routine, none of it is really distasteful. It’s just that “certain people” I work “with” make things most unpleasant sometimes. And not just unpleasant for me. It’s unpleasant to watch and unpleasant to be around, even when it isn’t happening to you.
Don’t they teach you in manager’s school not to berate people in front of everyone?
And why is it so damn important who “fault” something is? I understand people need to held accountable, but why do “some people” seem to take such joy in pointing out the mistakes of others? And why does it seem that these same finger-pointing “people” have so much difficulty accepting responsibility for their own gaffes? Bottom line: everybody makes mistakes from time to time. So let’s focus a little more on making things right than on whose fault it is.
It must be the military background. Civilians with military backgrounds (especially as officers) tend to think they are better than the rest of us, I think. And that’s not really their fault. The military told them that for years, so of course they are going to believe it after awhile.
But I’m not in the military anymore. I got my birthday back fifteen years ago. I don’t have to take this crap.
