I came across an article lately and feel that i should put this up to share. At a very stereotype of view, i personally think that sex discrimination does exist in the office whether it is your call or isn't.
There are few scenarios that i would like to share here. Just enjoy reading and look how true is it. Respect the women!!!
The 1st scenario
" When your subordinate display family photo on the table"
If your subordinate is a 'He', you feel "wow!! He taking care of his family, a responsible man.
If your subordinate is a 'She', you feel "career is not important for her; do not expect she will do her best to contribute in works!"
The 2nd scenario
"When your subordinate table is very messy or untidy"
If your subordinate is a 'He', you feel "he is so hardworking, till do not have extra time to tidy up the table.
If your subordinate is a 'She', you feel "she is so untidy, sure not organized!
The 3rd scenario
"When your subordinate is talking with other colleagues"
If your subordinate is a 'He', you feel "he must be discussing about the new project, so aggressive.
If your subordinate is a 'She', you feel "gossiping again!!! Gifted paparazzi!!
The 4th scenario
"When your subordinate is working overtime"
If your subordinate is a 'He', you feel "it's very difficult to hire such hardworking employee anymore.
If your subordinate is a 'She', you feel "ladies has limited capabilities, need to spend so much time on such little things.
The 5th scenario
"When your subordinate got promoted"
If your subordinate is a 'He', you feel "he must have great potential"
If your subordinate is a 'She', you feel "she must be having affairs with the boss"
The 6th scenario
"When your subordinate applies leave"
If your subordinate is a 'He', you feel "he hasn't apply leave for a long time, should go for relax"
If your subordinate is a 'She', you feel "seems like she always apply leave, is she going for job interview"
So, what say you? Do you think sex discrimination exists? i pity the women.

What inspire You
To success in workplace we need passion that make us move forward. Despite all the hurdles infront of us the only way out to stay focus is what moves you. It could be a short term plan or a long term plan to let our foot stay on course all the time.
Planning is vital part in the whole process. If you do not plan accordingly your short term and long term plan will just mess up as it is seen. In fact, if we plan and did not record it down it will end up like we did not even started a plan as our brain always works faster than physical.
Put pen to paper from now for your plan and below is what I willing to share with you and it works.
1. Prepare a list of short term plan and long term plan.
2. Cut down the plan and select only 3 plans.
3. Ask yourself how long from now to achieve the short term plan
4. If you succeed what's next. (rewards yourself)
5. Is the short term plan co-related to the long term plan
6. If yes just make both happens within your schedule
7. Time keeping for the long term plan
8. Every morning remind yourself of the long term plan
9. Do not give up when failure turn up share it to friends
10. Last but not least, keep the Passion of Fire Burns.
Monday blues....

Office do's and don'ts
Living in a multi-racial country like Malaysia, the office's culture is totally different compare to single racial country like japan or korea. How are we going to deal with the office dos and don'ts with the colourful background in the office.
Office is a virtual battle field for everyone looking for to stand or shine out from the crowd. What ideas do you have to stand out from the crowd? In fact, office is a place when action is not speak louder than word.
How to become a blue-eye-boy? How to get a double promotion? How to achieve a Guiness Record? (without throwing few jugs of beer into your stomach)
The 3 simple ways to combat on such environment are:-
1. Do what you require to do
2. Say what you needed to say
3 Hear what is only for you
This is the basic rules for freshie. If you do not want to fall out from the corporate world. However, to enjoy the work you must stay motivated for each and every assignment that assigned to you. Prepare for your own glory.
I received a few comment from my friends that "work is only work" just stay happy.
I feel the same way too. Why bother the dos or don'ts
Enjoy the weekends.... ;P

Morning Afternoon Evening
If you pay attention to the people around you during morning hours everyone is rushing for work to clock in on time.
During lunch time, you will notice food court, restaurant or even mamak store big crowd standing and waiting for seats to grab for lunch.
Between 17:30 to 18:30 the most interesting scene of all traffic in downtown Kuala Lumpur is jam-packed. Everyone leaving the office on the dot and heading to home.
Are you one of them?
No doubt I'm one of them. Obviously everyone needs to work so as me. But do you realise why the above scenario best describe us.
Let's analyse the above 3 different timing. First of all, the morning section we always go to office on time as we need to have a breakfast before the start of the day so that we can be more focus on our work for the entire day.
On the boss's view (morning)
Example:
At 9:00AM, David meets the boss in the morning before David greets "Good Morning". The boss raise his voice why you are late? I need your report right away on my desk. David swallow the "Good Morning"....
Findings:
David has left a bad impression on the boss perception as he meets the boss the wrong time and the wrong place.
Tips:
Don't blame your boss that raise his voice early in the morning to you and you should be smart to handle this incident the next time.
On the boss view (Afternoon)
Example
David having lunch with a couple of colleagues in the restaurant. The boss approaching his way alone. David quickily wave his hand voluntarily (to get the eye contact from the boss) and offers a seat to the boss and order his favourite drinks for him.
Findings:
David has successfully gain his confident on the boss because of his sincerity that he offers a seat to the boss who is alone. Finally, they finished the lunch at 15:00 and nothing happen eventually.
Tips:
Take care of your Boss, he or she is still human anyway. ;P
On the boss view (Evening)
Example
The office clock is approaching 17:30 everyone is looking forward what to do next after work the females are discuss about facial, trim hair and etc the guys are updating the hotspot for happy hours and the married one are busy heading home. As the clock approached 17:30 all of them leave their work station for their activities. David remained on his workstation. At 18:00 the boss passed by and noticed David is still around and he walks towards David and tells him not to work too late and continue with the hard work.
Findings:
David has totally gained the confident from the boss as he is the last one to leave the office.
Tips:
So do you want to be notice by the boss?
To survive in the office there are still a lot of technics and tricks. But always remember be sincere.
Do your best and god will do the rest!!

Workplace a Fun Place?
Every year we see large group of people changing jobs after year end and everyone of them are looking for the DREAM JOB that give them the job security with good remuneration and attractive incentives. Well at here I need to give the credit to google as it has been newly crown for the 100 Best Companies to work for 2007 by Fortune. I believe most of you know why google is the best among the rest if you do not know I think you are living in the stone age. ;p
Take a second to re-think is your workplace a fun place?
Needless to upset with the current situation that you encountered in your workplace as your company is totally a different category as compared to google and COMPARISON shouldn't take place at all. Please do not feel disappointed with what I trying to differentiate. For instance, do you think a public accounting firm employer would implement the "Google Way"? I don't think so as professionalism always come first and every employee must not overlook every aspect from the employee handbook.
How to make your workplace a fun place? Ask yourself.
1. Do you satisfy with your job scope?
2. Do you enjoy with what you are working for?
3. Do you set a short term and a long term goal for youself in the company?
4. Do you think of absent to work the next day?
5. Do you feel like job hopping?
The above are some questions that I would like to share with you if you are tiring of working with your current employement. If the answer from Q1 to Q3 is NO ( i think you should quit now)
Therefore, if you could get a job that provides you positive answer from Q1 to Q3 you will automatically make your workplace a fun place. Believe me as I am doing the same thing right now.
Good Day!!
