I have been feeling really sick and tired of work lately... Not so much on the job scope (it's really mundane and sucky but I'll survive), but rather the people I face daily. These are the people I literally spend the most time with, sometimes even more than my family members. Basing on the number of hours spent in the office, my office is like my second home, and my colleagues like my second family, so it is really important that the work environment is one that I like to be in.
I like to be surrounded by positivity, people who are harmless and good natured, people who always look out for one another... but it seems like I'm not really getting much love from those in the office. Not me personally, I still get along well with all, but rather I am sick of seeing one department fighting with another, and people not as helpful as before.
In the past we are a small team and we work well helping one another as much as we can. Now after the expansion and merger of departments, the bond is no longer there. As much as I would like to help, sometimes I couldn't do so just because I used to be one one particular department and by helping, others may see it as me being bias because I am suppose to be on neutral ground now.
I don't like how whenever I talk, it seems like everyone is listening. However my department behaves, everyone is noticing and commenting. Everyone thinks we are so damn free because it is the low season and they expect us to help because it is their high season. What happens when it is peak season for my department? None of them will be able to assist because what we are doing is very specialised. You don't see me complaining do you? I have nothing against helping, in fact I am all up for it. BUT what I couldn't stand is that instead of asking nicely, people throw sacarstic comments and expect us to pick up the hint. Oh come on... don't treat it as if we are deaf or blind... and don't treat it as if we are still kids, because we are NOT. We may be the youngest department in the office, but we are all working adults. Hate it when some of my colleagues talk as if they are talking to kids. Don't talk down to people, please, where's the respect?
My colleague whom I used to work closely with is becoming more and more like a stranger to me at times, which is sad and pathetic. We have our differences but I can be very tolerant, and I have been for years. However, some of the remarks she is throwing out is more and more unbecoming of her, especially for someone of her status (Regional Director of XXXXX). I am dissapointed because that is not what I had expected from her.
Also, more people means more office gossips and there are also some people who tend to play politics. Hate it hate it hate it!!! If you have time for gossips, it means you have too much free time, hence there is no excuse for saying you have so many things to do.
I am afraid I might reach a point where I will just drop it all and blast everyone. Everyday is becoming more and more dreadful. I just hope it's just a phase for me and everything will settle back down to harmony.
