Doing My Best To Please Management 7.11.2008

Rating: 5.0


Got my proper chastisement today,
I had assumed Nathi had resigned
when he disappeared, but he was
only on leave

It irked him that I conferred only with
his underlings; I apologized profusely,
in all honesty, so many people had
died and some

Had been escorted outside by the special
police, I did not know why Nathi wasn’t
here and I suspected the worst - but I
received a serious e-mail

Instructing me to deal with him directly; now
I know he’s alive and not under arrest, I shall
do so with pleasure, always doing my best
to please Management -

Or at least, some of the time…

You can never please the Man, The harder you work the more they want and never understand, that you only have two hands... Andrew 10

Well madam, having work in the government for 21 years now...I think there is nothing best but to please the management! However, if the things we do go beyond the ethical standards and against our will then perhaps its about time we have to assess the situation we are in. Does it only protect the interest of the management, or does it also benefit most of the members of the system? If we do certain thing we have to be sure its not hurting our colleagues who like us works for the management. Good thing to please the management that helps its staff. A 10.
