Title says it all. Long week for me and dealing with this corporate politics bull**** is driving me insane. I grew up literally fighting for what i believed in and standing up for what i believe in (always tried to do what i believed was right and fair). Teachers (the ones who used to treat the students with bad reps like trash), bullies, etc. I've been lucky to not have been in a situation where it's threatened my life. So the game of life was okay for me. I was used to being alone at times and happy.
I was not the most diplomatic child growing up. I am actually very accustomed to getting my point across through confrontation (only when i feel disrespected). When you tell people to fvck off because they made some racist joke or though they could pick on you and they realize you're about to level them even at the cost of a suspension or getting injured, most people back off and are cautious going forward. I wasn't a bully but people knew not to bother me. So you would think i fit the loner category as i set myself up for that but i'm also a very nice guy that's friendly and a social butterfly at times. Very black and white.
So now i'm in sales. I talk to clients and meet with them all the time. My department is known to have people with strong personalities. Some people are very good with diplomacy. Work culture just like in life has it's groups/gangs. People dislike each other and some people try to stay out of it. Some people are outcasts. I am apart of the majority good group but i voice my opinion more than most as i don't care if people dislike me. But some people along with ignoring you and making it difficult for you to work with them, they will be condescending in their tone of voice as well. Very disrespectful in my opinion and it sucks. If it's a loner being condescending to you, that's manageable as i have no problem telling the guy to go fvck himself and i won't respond until he re-words his emails but when you have small groups working together to fvck with you, that sh1t just gets annoying. I never do this kind of stuff to them, as i voice my opinions and try to be fair and respectful. These people will get angry if i ask them to stop talking over my shoulder when i'm on a client call and hold it against me and then do everything in their power to make my life miserable.
I've been threatened by bullies as a kid, and some kid even told me he'd get a group of guys to jump me. I found this kid alone one day and threw him against a locker and asked him to repeat what he said about jumping me. He just sh1t his pants and gave me dirty looks and never bothered me again. If i do that today, i'll get fired and go to jail. Just a rant about corporate politics. Management is always reluctant to do anything about corporate politics until it becomes out of hand but unfortunately no one does anything about this.
No one really likes these guys but their so loud and obnoxious they just ignore them. I normally do too, but this is one of those days.
Just venting and i'm sure many of you guys deal with this as well.
