Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous.
Actually, who are you not to be?

when no one quite believes me when i tell them i am taking leave

worse still, i can't blame them. i have like 20% success rate when it comes to applying leave. withe the other 80% although being planned leave, it doesn't mean that although having notified my boss like 1 month ago, i can go on leave when the time comes. i'm not making up the percentage by the way, my so called planned leave was unplanned for me for the last 4 times. so if the next time my leave gets unplanned, den i have less than 20% chance when it come to applying leave. more risky den a game of big or small at the dice table.

so entertaining ya?

This is the culprit

Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915):

Taylor was the first person who attempted to study human behavior at work using a systematic approach. Taylor studied human characteristics, social environment, task, physical environment, capacity, speed, durability, cost and their interaction with each other. His overall objective was to reduce and/or remove human variability. Taylor worked to achieve his goal of making work behaviors stable and predictable so that maximum output could be achieved. He relied strongly upon monetary incentive systems, believing that humans are primarily motivated by money. He faced some strong criticism, including being accused of telling managers to treat workers as machines without minds, but his work was very productive and laid many foundation principles for modern management study.

how come ur boss so bad?

yea he kick started the whole scientific management thingy if im not wrong. but then again, when you think that management these days would be adopting those new age humanitarian ideologies, they seem to regress from time to time.

exactly... his theories are so fundamental, management still has problems NOT applying it.

even with all these new age perspectives like empowerment and stuff, it really boils down to how much they want to believe and apply it. i guess that's the difference between theory and reality.
