Sensitivity in O3

In light of the plight of current O3-bers, it is important that we all remember the trauma that some of our fellow colleagues had to go through.

The bosses show little to no sympathy and understanding to many of the employees' lives and problems. They like to brush illnesses aside and look caring by offering vitamins and painkillers so that the ill employee will stay in the office and continue to work. In the event that the employee really has to take sick leave to rest, Uberbaus will likely frown upon it and may even send nasty sms-es or make snide remarks. More often than not, he will state how he and his family suffers through sickness for the company's sake. It never fails to amaze me that he forgets the company belongs to them and is run by them. 99% of the employees have ZERO stake in its success.

I think some of the people i've met in O3 are very sensitive to others because of the environment...and others, well, they (a small number of people) seem to slowly morph into the insensitive senior management way of work. I wish the latter bunch good luck in LIFE...not work. And i know the former group will be kind and affect those around them positively.

I have to admit that I was a victim of nasty remarks fro the Uberbaus & also the UberBitch. I remember one time when I sent the Uberbaus a SMS telling him that "I am seeing a doc and will be on MC", he sms-ed me to correct me telling me that I m not on MC until the doctor gives me a MC. It's like "We are Guilty Until Proven Innocent". I'm sure this phrase is familiar to many ppl. After that time, I am extremely careful in sending the Uberbaus and even the UberBitch sms-es cos they will take everything LITERALLY! Also, I will always squeeze everything into 1 SMS as far as possible cos it's our money after all! nothing is paid for at the O3.
