Can you adhere to the conventions of common courtesy even though it can be sometimes superficial?This is a dilemma that I'm having to deal with every day. I didn't imagine being an adult; or living in a world full of adults would be such demanding and weighs over the shoulders.
Our field of banking, requires you to be on the top levels of civility with: good manners here, respect there, and an abundance of courtesy *gasps* i call it hypocrisy over there. No matter what people say or do or simply gesture you to be, you have to behave accordingly otherwise you'd be in a big trouble with your boss.
Fine *shrugs* i can be that, it's not like I'm reinforcing socialism because at the end of the day, i can go home and forget about X who came to deposit, Y who came to withdraw and Z who came to open an account.
But what about A my manager? B my supervisor? C, D, E, F, G my co-workers? working from day to night together puts us all in circle called semi-family where things usually tend to get personal to some extent.
How can you show some genuine courtesy if things got way too personal between you and A for example? You had a clash on Sunday, and by Monday you're on good terms just like good ol' times. Wouldn't that be called hypocrisy? Or It's just another --- kissing method to escalate both your vocational ladders?
Some times it makes you wonder whether A is genuinely a true person or a double-faced lying creep! Should you feel safe or shouldn't you? Should you guys talk about it or move on to the next clash where the story continues? Should you quit playing or play to be a pro?
Wouldn't that be devastating to humanity? to lie and play and put the mask of a completely different person just to adhere to common conventions of courtesy? How would you trust that person then? How would you know whether he's for real or not?
I've always wondered about it until my other manager (been transferred to another branch hopefully for a while) says: No body reaches this kind of status unless he's a lying hypocrite a-- kissing m-----r f----r (her exact words hehe
)True ain't it?

i suppose it is true =S
we go through the same things with our doctors...he supposed to yemsa7 eb karamtch elarth, then you're supposed to see him the next day oo tsalmeen 3aleh ba3ad =S
that's why I couldn't go into banking because I wouldn't be able to put up with the whole show for long.. but she's right you would have to be that type to get ahead :/
Depressingly true. Some people are VERY good at it though, that you don't realize who they are until you're both nominated for the same managerial position.
Man, I got the surprise of my life. To think he's one of my best buddies, too.
its normal. I work in banking field too and i fight with many colleagues on issues but when it comes to professional level and workwise, we collaborate to deliver.
Personal problems should be segregated from work related issues.
It's not only in the banking field; any working environment is like a small enclosed community/semi-family.
They all have bad people making it absolutely aggravating to even think of going there every single day and good people making it worth not only working but living in that place.
Still there is no way of satisfying all even if you were a saint to your colleagues. :/
3ady 3ady!!!
not only you :P
So true i guess ;X
Happy new year.
Dandoon,
And the grading will be based on his like or dislike! It's frustrating.
FourMe,
But wouldn't you be a hypocrite? I don't know how those people can put it off!
Bojacob,
Looks like you had quite an experience!
It is hard though to discover that your friend is double faced.
Hamza,
Words of wisdom my friend.
This is your first time saying so :P
Mac,
This is so true.
I can never think of a working place where all the people there are in good terms with each other. I don't know why they find it so hard to get along and put their differences aside.
Loco,
I know :P
Palomino,
Painfully true.
Mac,
Same to you :)
