work ethics

work hard..party harder...undoubtedly the first thing that comes to my mind when i think about work.. i enjoy my work..and unlike the very common thinking of "you enjoy work that you like".. i start working before and enjoying the work later..but then i guess that is how it goes for the "un-enjoying" junta... anyways.. this post is not about work..but how to behave when at work..off late ive found myself in situation where i have had to choose the option which is feasible and which does not create a new query..advanced organizational behavior..the 700 level course that i have taken this semester.. tells me a lot about how an individual behaves at work..and how different or similar he might behave "out-of-office" or at home...yes...they are two very different things.. go ahead..google them and you would know..anyways..i have always..always..in every interview i have had..spoken about how i follow work ethics..not the rules made by the corporate world..but my own work ethics.. i remember when i was applying for my first job...the HR asked me if work ethics really "worked" nowadays... my answer was its an individuals choice..and hence..i came up with my ethics..which are dynamic and flexible to an extent..the first thing that i keep in mind when handling an issue at work is not to mix it with personal life and emotions.. you have a very good friend who works with you..but you dont say anything to him when he is doing something wrong.."well he's my friend.. let me give him some 'more' time, im sure he will do it"... equality... why is he getting more time when the other guy you just yelled at did a small mistake compared to your "friend"... by not telling him that he is wrong.. you are damaging his reputation as a worker..and hampering his "quality" of work.. you are a good friend..thats a good reason to tell him about every small mistake that he makes.. because you know he is a good guy and he will understand.. hehe..well there goes my first point.. no personal relations..aaah.. like i said.. dynamic..anyways.. moving on.. honesty is one parameter that i maintain in both my work and personal life...a nice example.. i was late for work today.. i called my manager and told him that im running late... his first reaction "too much traffic eh ? ".. i said "no, i started late from home".. well obviously much credit is to be given to the manager for he is mature and understanding enough.. but then saying "yes" to traffic problem today.. means more work.. when you really are late because of traffic..i have better things to do than think about a "decent" excuse....but then today when i was calling him.. i was thinking about my responsibilities as a worker there, i obviously cant come late always..especially the days when i am suppose to be the first one if office to take care of all the backlog..then.. aha.. there is office politics.. oh my god.. how much i hate it... i hate it.. i hate it.. oh how much i hate it...your manager walks in..you greet him with a big hello..the minute he walks out.. you are back to the typical " did you see what he did... you know what happened the other day" ... and yada yada yada...the story goes on and on...the worst part is when you have to listen to both the parties... case 1..and case 2..and work..believe me..it makes me sick..its that i just dont care..i am here for my work.. please let me do it..and leave..i am there when you talk work.. i will give you my 100 percent there..but please..do not ask my views about the way "he looked at you" and how "she reacted when you said..." nevertheless.. i really enjoy my work..and like i said.. i really appreciate people who just mind their own business and exhaust the hell out of me with work...i really like that. and i also like people who are good at their work.. because when you ask them for help..because they know their work..they can help you simplify yours...unlike the "something like that".. "you know what i mean" people..i have a nice job today...and i like it..keeps me busy..gives me my space(one concept i have started exercising)..and has "not-so-bad" people around..oh yes.. just for the record...got a raise today... jai shri ram
