Plain A**hole - Love To Hate!!

10 Mei 2011 - 12.52 pm

Let me ask you a question. Is there any chance that there's at least 1 arrogant and cocky person at your workplace? I bet there is. According to Wiki, arrogant means 'having excessive pride in oneself', while cocky means 'boldly or brashly self-confident'.

While it is almost inevitable to avoid these kind of people especially in workplace surroundings, that doesn't change the fact that we sometimes reach the highest bar in our patience meter trying to cope with those unneeded attitudes. Being involved with arrogant person will somehow affect our work performance, by a bit if not a lot.

I am speaking (writing) based on my own experiences; need to report to ONE super-annoying-arrogant person when I have problems with my labs. I find reporting to my Department Head is not as hard as reporting to him, although my DH is far more superior than that arrogant person.

These are some of the troubles that occur, working with stupid (did I say stupid? I guess I did.) arrogant person. (Let's just say that the person is a HE, as I'm too busy to write down the words That Person every time.)

1. He always avoid work, thinking that he has a few men under his command so he could just ask them to do it, even though their hands are quite full at the moment.

2. He will not hesitate to scold at people, heck, even to people who are more superior than he is! Believe me, I've seen it with my own two eyes. Well, he manage to exclude the Pengarah from his list though.

3. He is super-clever in making dumb (the word DUMB is an understatement) excuses, especially at times when he needs to report to his superior about problems that he could not settle. By making those ridiculously-hilarious-dumb excuses, he will try at his best to somehow relate the excuse to other person, making that person look so bad (trust me on this one. Been there, done that).

4. He thinks that he is the most intelligent personnel in the workplace, as if the world revolves around him.

5. He masters the art of ass-kissing. Lol!

Me and a few of my friends experienced lots of bad situations regarding this person, and we just play it safe by not talking back at him, not because we respect him, but because we will just make fun of him behind his back. Haha!

Chow!!
