Today's annual company meeting left me so tired. Disappointment. Sadness.
The boss said map yourselves into the company's plans. Set yourself a vision and goals and map them with the company and the company will help you grow. The usual cock and bull story. Nothing more inspiring. It might be for the younger ones, fresh from school, with the high hopes of being the CEO the next day.
The older ones, or rather more senior ones, can only wish so much. In all my years of working I have learnt that to climb the corporate ladder a tad faster, one has to laugh loudly, talk louder and being a machine gun also helps, be nasty and demanding, be able to delegate and relinquish all responsibilities, complain more often, learn to pass the ball faster..... And also, to be able to promise sales figures that would make Bill Gates proud, versus actual sales figures worse than the chicken rice seller.
The nice quiet guy won't last long. No matter how, its always "your unit is performing the worst". No matter how hard I try to be nasty, I can't do it. I think I am probably the lowest paid MBA holder in the world. That paper qualification to me is equivalent to peanuts right now. Lelong, anyone?
