I would like to just share my working life and experience at Tranxxxxx with you. These are my lessons I learnt in the hard way and now I shall share it with you so that you don’t have to go through the pain I gone through at work.
I remembered my time at Tranxxxxx, a travel agency was a painful yet meaningful one. The boss, Mr A(not nice to mention names) was a stressful and yet knowledgeable one. He totally freaked me out during my stay with him for attachment purpose in the initial months. It scared me so much that I had nightmares about going to work and even had a fear in male managers when I just left the company.
One thing I do have to admit is that I learnt a lot from him about work and business. From advertising, to handling of people, to negotiating with clients and to operations to whatever you name it. And he chooses people to teach and work on the condition that you have to get all the shit from him. If he finds that a particular person not being able to take the scoldings, he won’t even talk or interact with the person. This happened to one person who took over me after I left.
Now, here is the first lesson that I am going to share. If you happen to have a inbalanced superior who always seemed to pick on you or scold you. Never take his harsh words on you! If he scolds you a cunning fox, pretend that he himself is a fox screaming at you. You will laugh at the thought of it and won’t even bother to feel sad about what he sprouted. Filter through all his words and extract only the valuable ones. I remembered initially I was so affected by his words that I cried in front of him! You believed that? I never cried in front of anyone else for such a long time and I cried in front of him! Its not that I want to gain sympathy or whatsoever, its just that I am so hurt at his remarks. Why? This is because I took his words too seriously. You know, sometimes when people took a lot of shit from others they tend to want to throw the shit onto you. So don’t give that scolding a damn. Just think that person has had a bad day and pardon his action on that. Well, its only after some time before I got this wisdom that make me think that way.
Secondly, if you boss reprimand YOU at work because of some mistakes you may or not have done. Just take it and say SORRY and EXPLAIN. Never push the blame on others! Bosses hate irresponsible people who push the blame on others when they felt that YOU are in the wrong. So whatever you are saying and denying he WONT LISTEN. For example, Lazy never do the work and you get scolded. So what must you say? “ Sorry, its my fault that I never remind Lazy to do the work.” I tell you, once you apologized; the boss will take his guard down of you. Then when you say it’s your fault, he will think its not you fault because it’s Lazy who never do the work. Instantly, he will realize he wronged the wrong person and will shut his trap. And there you are, case closed!
All right, that’s about my little lessonsI like to share with you people who experience any difficulty in the working life now. Afterall, work is not tough when you know how to handle things. And I am blessed because the company I am working with currently has all the nice people you can name of.

its my first time reading ur blog. omg i never knew u would write so well so meaningful cos u've always been a blur -like-sotong person. i agree with u to take harsh words easy from bosses who scolds like nobody's business. one thing i would want to add. male bosses may seem to be harsh but they are typical. female bosess may seem to be gentle and nice but they might be the one who bits harder. anyway interesting and practical topics u've got. keep up the good work!!
