Why is my office full of Gordan Gekko's and David Brent's

[KOBRIEN]

Just a general observation I have made recently in my new job,
There are several David Brent's and and several Gordan Gekko's.

Having been with this new company for around a month its strange or just dam right
annoying when people cannot function in their daily grind without becoming an arsehole.

On the first week the Managing Director enters the room like he is about
to take on David Haye.

As he slams his folder down on the table he begins his speech which includes him
never sleeping and never seeing his kids because he is so into his job and dedication comes first.He then says he likes to work hard to be able to play hard,I remembered this as I saw him drive out of the car park today in his Vauxhall Corsa.

The top salesman who is on £80,000 a year doesnt like to talk to other
people in the office,The managing Director comfirmed that he is allowed to do what he wants because he is the top salesman.

I tested this out my saying hello when passing in the hall way and he just nodded
before looking at the floor.

Any of you guys come across these characters before ?

Are there any boilers in the room where you work?

I see there are no decent joke books in the room you work in !

I worked in an office in Kl (a US oil co) and several of the managers were dysfunctional, and the top dog was an unwiped asshole

he rarely responded to any greeting like "good morning" and was a Bolton supporter, besides being too full of himself to be any good at his job

I found it difficult to enjoy working in such an atmosphere that he created, so jumped ship after 6 months

I don't blame you Doc and I feel it actually makes one feel better about themselves and to act civilly to others.

The Hotel I am staying at in Malaysia has a nighttime front desk lady (Indian) who never says hello let alone smile or awknowledge your existance.

I guess some people enjoy acting this way never chancing the possibility of brightening someone else's day.

Good idea mate.

It's 3.30 in the morning here and this Indian bitch is probably asleep at the front desk (again) and I might go out (just down the hall) and ask her whether my laundry has come back already?

[jizzybloke]

call down and ask... every 20 minutes

Funny as fok mate.

She was asleep and I slapped the top of the counter and she woke up with a start and a sour look on her face.

When I asked her about my laundry she asked me, very sarcastically what time in the morning was it and I told her coffee time.

She looked at me strange and I told her that the room service had not given me sachets of coffee when they serviced my room and I wanted my coffee.

She then had to go to the second floor and come back with one sachet of coffee.

Then I asked her where the Coffee Mate and Sugar was. The look on the sour bitch's face was priceless.

Never mind. How do I delete posts anyway? I click on edit/delete but dont see delete anywhere?

Indian bitch

Are you in India ?

[Loy Toy]

Are you in India ?

No, in the South of Malaysia mate and the place is full of Indians.

Not that I have anything against Indians but this one is a real bitch.

Man I hope I never cross you.

Evil, pure evil.

Malaysia

My mrs is convinced that the muslim cult between the bottom of Thailand and the start of Malaysia is a death zone so she never encouraged me to go that way !

She might be right as there seems to be a growing radical movement here and I have also been told to keep well away from the atea.

A lot of Muslims here are quite upset about how Osama bin laden was slaughtered unarmed.

Slaughtered? Naw, just double-tapped to the head. Tell these people why he was buried at sea while your at it. So when you go to the beach...on second thought, they might like the joke.

Mate, I'm in Malaysia and was only yesterday watching a rather worrying Bhumi Putra rally staged against the quite large Chinese community here.

I don't want them staging a rally against me.

Those Muzzies do get worked up don't they. Recall when I was living in Singapore back in the day and a Chinese guy made the mistake of riding his motocye with a pig on the back thru a Moslum neighborhood. Full-scale riot ensued...

Any of you guys come across these characters before ?

It goes with the turf....the shrinks have a name for it....believe it our not....

not all together sure the shrinks can cure any arsehole....of being and arsehole.......

[Butterfly]

to be expected if you work in a boiler room,

which character are you btw ?

[Loy Toy]

I know it as the "Peter Principle" when you promote a person away from their affective position in a company to a place where they are uncomfortable within the company structure.

You can't sack them nor demote them and Thai Companies are full of Peters and Peterettes.

[baby maker]

/\....how correct you are......


and added points for not commenting on any reformed arseholes....if indeed they are reformed....however they maybe..............

I have never got to grips as to why people in the service industry act this way. Surely its far easier to be polite.
