Shitty Bullies

I always have the impression that buyers/purchasers are very prestigious posts and unrivalled. But reality sinks in and it’s totally loop-sided. People will make use of us to arrange purchases and I mean, EVERYBODY. There’s no “please” or “excuse me” here. You just have to do it, even you’re not asked to directly. So, whenever you see “S&P”, you know you got a job at hand, without being told. And if by any chance you didn’t see it, arrows will come piercing through your heart, and people will hound after your blood. Even so, we still have to be polite and courteous, at our boss’s instructions. We can be assertive but not rude, and always be professional. How to do that, when everybody else’s is not doing it. It’s not fair. LIFE’S NOT FAIR. Grow up now!!

When they need our help, they are very nice. But even that, is on the rare occasion. And when we require their assistance (even on the minute basis), they will be haughty and shun us away like houseflies. We are like admin, but come to think again, it’s WORST than admin. Even the cleaners garner more respect than us. There’s no respect for our services and personnel. Luckily, we are a tight group. We look out for one and another and make a mockery out of life. Laughter and rowdiness are the main staples of our daily routine. We are the envy of the company. Coz, we are able to talk loudly and anyway we like it. Our job requires us to do that. Hahhaahah…it’s a blessing. Being able to express ourselves amongst the hustle and bustle in this job, is a MUST HAVE. You must be thinking my colleagues are all youngsters, but you will be surprised that mature workers can be twice as fun. The age group falls in the 50s. I’ve 3 “uncles” aged 55, 50 and 1 at 62!! The rest sums up at 34, 28 and 31. I’m the youngest at 24½. Hahahaha…

Back to the subject, bullying has always been a constant in our lives, but afraid to put a stop to it, even if it happens to us. We are totally hopeless!! Especially us, Singaporeans. We are not street-wise and less is always more. So, we will be minding our own business and rid of any troubles that can implicate our lives further. We don’t need that anymore. Our work and personal life are already in a mess; we definitely do not need more shit from these troublemakers.
