Eternal Success Story in the Making

While scanning my files in my PSP, the following article was found. Wrote it on those days wherein my boss was Ms. Tapya. Here it goes, for amusement…

Deep down she has low self esteem, tries to cover it up by being assertive and by being an “unnecessarily” perfectionist. She easily gets upset over small things, setting up unnecessary standard. Let me describe this by using an illustration… It’s like giving her a poetic, romantic love letter that she will eventually complain about just because the phrases are not equally syllabized. Or preparing a delicious meal for her birthday and she would go putting you down by her lecturing to change the way you cook (all these are examples only).

Unappreciative, though she verbally utters the “thank you” word, you would feel it just came out through an answering machine. Cold and unwanted.

Ineffective listener. Doesn’t listen, resulting to miscommunication. You know she is upset ‘coz when she talks there’s a little bit of trembling in her lips/mouth (silly).

Instructions being made are not exact to what she really wants… ex. she said “do not attach the incorrect screenshots”… now, for a logical person like me this would mean, by reversal, “Attach the correct screenshots, instead of the incorrect ones”. But after 10 minutes of asking clarificatory questions, what she really wanted to convey is simply “DO NOT ATTACH SCREENSHOTS”!.

Doesn’t admit mistakes even if it is obvious, a sure sign of insecurity. Acting that she confidently knows what she is talking about, but soon after her display of fake knowledge… it becomes really pathetic.

Her way of asking help is by calling your attention to her “unnecessary” perfectionist comments about your work. This is hard to explain without giving too much real details. But once I realized this tactic, I found it somewhat between “amusing” and “pitiful”.

She hastly assumes people were guilty of commiting a mistake.

Normally, I tell people about their negative side if I see them able to handle constructive criticism, but in this case… it’s better to shut up and let her negative image in the company spread like wild fire (let nature take its course). From top management, to her colleagues, and subordinates her reputation is notorious.

Now… this is just me blowing off steam, ‘coz my personal policy toward superiors is to support them whether they are saints or are monsters with undeveloped character. Good thing I have an angel on my shoulder and got reassigned elsewhere wherein my advancement won’t be hindered.

No need to write another article of this type Chazper! Lol
