Jacaranda Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi all, I've never been a butt kisser myself.I've always figured that my work in itself should be good enough without having to go down that road.However several people in my team do butt kiss our manager and its really starting to irritate me.I'm fairly new in my job and I've become aware of certain people getting away with murder (not literally lol)and taking an easy day at work whilst people like myself are working hard.They crawl up the boss's backside (whilst kissing it lol)and the boss in my opinion has become overly friendly with a few people and is not acting in a professional manner.I can't even discuss this with the boss higher up because the manager I work for keeps telling me how he is really good friends with her and how he is apparently her "favourite"(I think he just tells me this so I won't say anything!)A couple of the porters at work have to drive to other units,and what should take a couple of hours,maybe 3 max,will take them all day.My boss is aware of this but lets them get away with it.There's alot of things going on at work that should'nt be going on,and I am starting to feel pretty uncomfortable.What would you do?Become a butt kisser and have the attitude "If you can't beat them join them"?Or something else?

Candygirl Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I run the office for my OH, he know's who's boss:yes: I don't expect him to kiss my butt though:biggrin: Melza, you are correct, your work and abilites should be enough, but in each company there are butt lickers. Your boss sounds very unprofessional. I don't think you should join the butt licking gang, just observe and think karma. If your abilities are not being appreciated, then perhaps it is time to look for somewhere new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope, You yourself know the answer much better as it reflect from ur way of work u like to deliver ....but it's just that u r in dillemma due to lack of ur companion with like minded people in ur work place...Infact I know it is easy to suggest but tough to get over such situation .. I would like just to share my view ..as u know a POT can not be shaped without putting ur hand in MUD..same way Since u have that skill of better delivery / sincerity than others in work place pls work as u like but avoid to get irritated/in any kind of argument from those who are on othr way of buttering the BOSS ...Obviously It takes time to prove yourself in such a new environment but It pays u always for VERY LONG or I SAY FOREVER since it will turn in ur habits ..Believe me as time goes ur day today activities will get u better than other and recognised ..and there will be time even U would be able to say what othr r doing is wrong..But with all this hard work U need to have lot of patience and smile on ur face to tolerate such ppl who irritates U .. and I m sure any person can lie to othrs but not to himself ...so Even they will be pretending that they are better than U but inside somwhere they know it for sure ,Who is more capable in delivering the good JOB....So no need to worry be with ur WISDOM and spend some more time there ,,,I bet if u remain calm and deliver better than other then there is no way that ppl can ignore ur commitment for long..and that time U would be able to Change or Debate with others ..... REMEMBER IN LIFE ... the GREAT worrier is not the one who fight with full charge and get Killed in fact knowing the lack of skills( ie called IGNORENCE of situation) , RATHER the one who observe situation quickly take steps Back , avoid to fight & get Invisible to dark for sharping the skills ,making everyday better army ,meditating on thought to keep winning spirit alive & 1 fine day challenge the Enemy??? WIN the bettle (ie called as WISDOM of leader). I wish , it can help u in situation ..:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacaranda Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thankyou for the replies so far!Candygirl and SAPcrmboyindia thankyou for sharing your wisdom.What you have posted makes absolute sense.I've just come from a job,similar situation to the one I'm in now,so I am really sensitive to whats going on.Just don't have the energy atm to move on somewhere else.Applying for a job,the stress of starting a new one and so on.

Bobj Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The difference between the Pope and your boss, the Pope only expects you to kiss his ring. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 No....the attitude here is always carers vs office staff....they don't treat us with respect, so I only give them the very minimum respect tbh, i'm nice and polite but wouldn't go out of my way for them unless it suited me! I sound like a bitch but trust me, they love to play their own little games too and then act all innocent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacaranda Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 I've come to the conclusion I have the boss from hell.He recently was given a job to do,working out a rota for 3 people,had two weeks to do it.Reached the deadline,and then expected me to help him an hour before he had to present the new rota to the big boss!I refused!Another time,I had booked off 2 weeks holiday.Before the holiday,a few people put in holiday requests.I suggested only two people go off?Boss overrode my decision,and let 6 people off.I went on holiday and the day I returned to work my boss announced that he was taking a week off the following day.I was then left to deal with 6 less people,and a barrage of complaints from fellow co workers because of it.Nice!Feel more like kicking his butt than kissing it lol lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
