Day 10,485
It had been a fast week...
Another colleague had just resign (or dismissed, depending on how you look at it) and will be flying back to his country tomorrow. I received a call from him earlier on and he expressed his gratitude to me over the phone. And it shocked me, cos I am not really close with him..
He had a criminal record back home and is deemed a "time bomb" by many colleagues. He never failed to hide his displeasures with his colleagues or superiors and had never say a kind word to anyone. Then it dawned on me that somehow or somewhere, I might have helped him before. Well, of course, during the 7mins of conversation, he did condemn his manager and erm. several others...
And so there I was, after the conversation, thinking over what he had said.
In today context of a fast-paced working environment, how many people really meant it when they said "Thank you" or "Sorry".. Was it a mere 'going through the motion' process to faciliate things? And how many people have taken others' kindness for weakness and have continue to exploit that?
Sad to say, I do know of people who are doing that and they do seems rather successful at first glance. Well, nevertheless, I do know that this colleague do meant what he had said...
