Workplace Favouritism

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could hand pick the people that we work with?  Working for a large company in an environment that is time sensitive so to speak, I look around every night and see only a handful of workers doing the right thing - working.  The majority however seem to be flying under the radar avoiding work altogether.  There are groups that hang out in their small circles pretending to work while they socialise and do nothing but chat chat chat all night long, not being productive at all and there are those who hide in the toilets with their mobile phones avoiding the floor as much as possible, and then there are those that don't really care if you notice that they're not working because as far as they are concerned they can't be sacked.

 I work in a multicultural environment and word has spread that if any one of them gets the sack they can sue for racial discrimination.  It doesn't seem to matter that certain individuals don't deserve to be there let alone be paid fortnightly, the only thing that counts is that they show up for work on the night. (Attendance is a big deal where I work.)

What really upsets me is the fact that management can walk out onto the floor and see what's going on but refuse to say a word, meanwhile the bulk of the work rests upon those few that actually show up to do what they're paid for in the first place and they need to do far more than they're supposed to just to get the work out on time.  Unfair? Absolutely!  But our hands are tied and until the day that management grows some b***s and culls the rubbish, we, the very small percentage of workers will have no choice but to continue to do the best that we can and hope that one day the bosses will wake up and do what needs to be done. 

In the meantime though, the loyal workers, those that deserve recognition for a job well done, but who never get that recognition are on the hunt for a better work environment and fair work places, I myself do not plan to remain in my position for too much longer, I know that I deserve better, and when I hand in my letter of resignation I'm absolutely certain that the bosses will approach me and ask WHY? And that's when I'll say "Because you never listen to the one's who matter the most, the one's that actually do the work, the one's that actually deserve their payslips, you only listened to (and turned a blind eye to) those that you thought might rebel.  You try to avoid mutiny but in the process you're slowly eliminating the one's that make you look respectable and worthy. And for what? To protect and preserve the favourites, not because of their work performance but because they are all related, and perhaps because your wife may divorce you if you sack her best friend.  This is real life, not a board game, to be treated with respect you need to earn it first."

Some women do actually get spoiled rotten by their partners.

Yes, it is true.  You may not believe it but it was just the other night that a very good close friend of mine experienced the time of her life on the date of a lifetime with her special man.  The very special person in her life told her that they were going out for dinner and advised her to be ready by 5.30 pm.  With fine champagne chilling in the fridge, my friend knew that it was going to be a nice night but she never expected or even suspected anything more.

When 5.30 ticked around a Limosine pulled up in front of their home and chauffered them both to the city as they sipped on the champagne.  Dinner was at a fancy seafood restaurant in the city followed by a short stroll along the banks until it was time to view a movie in style at the Crown's
Gold Class cinema.  The return trip back home was again travelled in luxury and style as they laughed and had a wonderful time in the back of the limo.

Needless to say, my friend has still not returned from cloud 9 and I suspect that planet earth is still in a distant universe and she has no intention of hurrying back.

So, to all you beautiful and patient women out there, there is hope.  There may not be very many romantic's left on this earth but they are out there, you just need to find them.  And for all you men out there, take a hint, you don't need to spend a fortune, you just need to make your lady feel like a queen or a princess once in a while and if you do, then you'll see that you won't have to work so hard to get lucky, it will come to you.

I would love to hear more stories from anyone, ladies and gentlemen, who have experienced very special dates.
Until next time,
Ciao' for now...

What do women really want?

Strange as this may sound, a lot of women still aren't sure as to what it is that they really want out of a relationship or for that matter, what it is exactly that they want from their partners. 

Obviously we are all diverse in our thinking and our beliefs, and it baffles me somewhat to see the women around me alway searching for that extra something.  We all want more from our partners, more manners, more romance, more gifts, more money, more good looks,  better bod's and the list goes on and on and on.

How many women out there are truly happy with their lives and their partners?  How many of them can say that they would honestly NOT  change a single thing in their lives?  Not many I can assure you.  There is not one single woman out there who can legitimately say with total confidence and honesty that she is truly happy.  Sure, she may experience snippets of happiness here and there but overall she lives among us - the majority - who have learnt to just settle and live with what we've got and make the best of it with what little we have to work with.
