This is so DAMN Ridiculous!

Lol, is that word banned in Mylot as well? Yes, I know where exactly you are referring to. Hehe. Actually, it is just a temporary anger against my boss, because I got reprimanded for something which I had not done. And I just don't like that feeling of being maligned by someone. I seriously enjoy the environment here as it being a small company, there is a lot of interactions between the staff and there is not so much politics being played around as opposed to being in a large company. You are so lucky not to have met people like this. It's always nice to meet nice people as they just give us a very warm feeling inside of us, but it's not nice to meet a bossy sort of people who loves to yell and shout for no good reason. It gets everybody's feathers ruffled. Hehe Thanks for your response my friend!

Yes, I agree that bosses are always bosses. Lol, I read somewhere before that the most successful people in life are usually pyshopaths because the way they operates is aligned with the way serial killers operate. It is just that successful people use their pyschopath personality into worklife and kill off all other competitors and a serial killer use a weapon to really kill a person. That's the only difference between the two of them. Well, thank you for your response! Things are really looking up for me now My boss had apologised to me for the incident that had happened. Hopefully that it will not happen a second time around.

Yeah, u are right, there are indeed 2 sides to a coin.. It all depends all one's luck and work performance plays an important part too ^_^ Some boss will go all out to protect their staff and lose their position because they believe in their staff and have confidence in them ^_^ As for some, they just care for themselves, and like u say, that's how the corporate world operates ^_^ If u'r not happy with the company, find a better one whom knows how to treasure and cherish u ^_^ hehe

Lol, nice way to put it. Sounds so logical yet it is crooked. I guess that is just how the corporate world operates. Hmm.. there are 2 sides of a coin to that. Some bosses truely cares for their subordinates and go out to help their subordinates out and risk losing a client, whereas some of them does it the other way round. Of course when the boss does it the first way, the turnover rate for a company is much lower compared to when they go by the second sets of rules. Some bosses can just never get it. When the staff are happy, naturally the clients will be happy when the staff serve them to the best of their ability! I used to stay on in one particular company for slightly more than 5 years, all because of something the Chinese call as 'QING'. The boss at my previous company is really great and genuinely cares for all the people working under him. As a result of that, we on the other hand sometimes even work for him for free, and we don't complain for that! However, the company which I am working for currently operates in a totally different way.. They care more for their clients more than us. And as a result, resentment and unahppiness sometimes just builds up in the staff. Hmm.. $$ so evil yet so helpful

Thanks for your response, my friend. I am actually on the lookout for a higher salary job at the moment, but in my line of job all of the positions need at least two years of experience. GUess I would still be here for another year before moving on. Lol, I will just take this a stepping ground to gain more experience! Sigh~ 1 more year to go before I say goodbye to this company. Hehe, I can't wait!

Lol, tell me about it! I don't really agree with the way my boss conducts his way of business sometimes, but there is no way I can do about it. Hmm.. had been working in this company for close to a year. And, well, being a small company, my boss is also his own HR department. That is a great idea but I doubt that it would work it my company. Hehe. I can just imagine the out come if all of us really do execute what we think of him privately into plan. Thanks for your response and advise! I will bear that in mind! Take care and happy mylotting!

No offense taken I get what you mean about that. Actually I had been toying with the idea of finding a better paying job for a very long time (and all my colleagues know about my plan). Just that it had not been executed as I really really love the environment of a small company and find it very difficult to say good bye. Lol. The head don't agree with the heart. Thanks for your response! Happy Mylotting!

Lol, seems like your boss likes to give backhanded compliments to his staff, where they is critism mixed in together with his compliments. I can just about understand why he is not with the company anymore. But, how about you? Why aren't you there anymore? Just could not understand how some bosses behave sometimes. They are just soo weird!

I am! Trust me. Lol, when it happened that time, I literally hit the roof! Haha. I will try to do that whenever is his unprofessionalism acts up. Hehe. And thanks for the great suggestion! You no longer had such a boss any longer. Good for you! Were you the one who fired him? Take care my friend, and happy Mylotting!

You know if the boss is always unprofessional the company will not grow. In my case our big boss is a nice person and a very good leader as well the only thing is that our manager. I agree with you that his lacking of maturity and leadersp.. Thanks hopefully this march i will find a new job..

error --- I agree with you that our manager is

Lol This type of managers will always cause the company to have a high turnover rate. Nobody can stand an unprofessional boss. If the boss is unprofessional, what can we say about the company in general then? Well, I guess your boss and my boss both are sorely lacking in the communication, maturity and leadership sector of their charactors/personality. Lol, we can forgive them as we know we are above them in that case! Thanks for your response, take care and good luck with your search for a new job! Happy mylotting!!

Lol, I wish that I could. But, then again, I am fresh out of school with just 1 year of office experience behind me. It's kind of impossible to find a good job with decent pay with this type of statistics nowadays (with all the new graduates per day and foreigners coming in). I will sure like to see the showdown between you and your boss (if ever you meet such a boss!). I guess luckily for me, my boss probably felt guilty and apologised to us about this. But come to think of it again, this whole matter would not have started if he was not so unprofessional about the issue in the very first place. Thanks for your response my friend! Have a nice day and Happy Mylotting to you!

No I had not called my supervisor, I called the adviser that the complaint was lodged against. Okay for financial institutes, we have people who are selling the insurance and the unit trust called Financial Adviser Representatives, or Advisers for short. I am part of the office, the compliance excutive meaning to say I audit the adviser's conduct of business and handle any complaints that were lodged against them. I called up the adviser who had a complaint lodged against him. And I emailed my supervisor about the complaint that was lodged. The next thing I knew my supervisor called me up and started shouting at me that I don't know how to do my job properly. I had not even started to tell him about what was mentioned between my conversation with the adviser! When I cut into the conversation and say, "I told the adviser that the complaint is serious and it's an urgent matter.." Before I even finished my sentence, my supervisor cut me off and started screaming that I don't know how to do my job! I should had shout and scream at the adviser about the urgency of the case rather than tell them firmly about it! I should have threaten them that they would be terminated if the complaint is not settled! And then he went on to say that I am incompetent and he would be handling the complaint case! That being say, I am wondering what should I typed in my resolution report. Should I type in the report that I had called the adviser and informed him of the complaint and get him to resolve the matter. And my supervisor called me up and started screaming at me. The matter was taken over by my supervisor and he called the advisor up screaming and shouting and threatening them? We have to keep a log of what actions were undertaken. So, I am also having a headache of what to write for my boss' actions? By writing screaming, shouting and threatening as part of the actions undertaken just seem so unprofessional. How am I supposed to submit that sort of report to the government board?

Hi Angelia, Thank you for elaborating. I think i am still a bit confused. OK... so someome made a complaint about an adviser, you reported it to the adviser?... Or your supervisor about the advisor? (That is where my confusion comes in). Either way, I think you should report exactly what transpired, do they record your calls and e-mails? If they do you are safe, you are doing you job as directed. This world can become very scary, people like to intimidate you, even when it is not warranted. I would actually look for some words other than "Screaming, yelling" etc. write the truth of what happened, just choose your words carefully, ya know?

Okay just to clear up some confusion here. A client reported about his investment against the adviser who is servicing him to me. My job is to inform the adviser to resolve the matter with his client, and keep the management staff in the loop. I hope that this clears up some matter. Sorry, just now I was very angry when I was typing so my words may seem jumbled up. Anyway, I had closed the case by writing in the report that the deputy CEO is handling the matter and as such I consider this case to be closed on my part, and passed the report up to my deparatment head already. Thanks for your advice

I agree with you. 1 more year to go in this company and I will be ready to face a brand new world out there! Woopee! My position requires at least 2 years of experience in this field. Without that, it is impossible to get another job at another company. So, I would have had to hang in for another year before jumping to another company. So.. I would just have to tolerate it. Lol. Thanks for your response! Take care and happy Mylotting!

Thanks for your response and for sharing your story with us! It's tough to have a superior who doesn't know how to control his own emotions, and let it interfere into his work. And I guess that is what happened with your boss. Lol, I guess he just lost control and let his personal feelings run his life that day, and well that could had explained his crankiness at work. Is your boss still like that now? Well, as for my boss, he's really this immature guy who has a huge ego of himself. But then, he isn't someone who is snobbish or whatsoever. Lol, he loves to joke with us, and talk nonsensical stuff all of the times. But when it comes to work related stuff, he had still not yet learnt how to control his own emotions. And when stress gets the blood pressure boiling high, he would just end up screaming and shouting at all of us, without even listening to what is actually happening. And when he's done venting his frustration and anger, he would be willing to listen, and apologise if he's in the wrong. However, I still can't get over the fact that a boss can't control even the most basic thing which is emotions. How professional can that be?
