Idiotic, Rotten Apples

Sometimes, you wonder, what makes you respect a superior. For me, the person doesn't have to be a genius, I don't even care if he has any politically strategic moves in the higher management to ensure his team's benefits are taken care of. All it takes is RESPECT.

I'm so lucky that my boss has this quality. He's no doubt someone whom everybody takes advantage of due to his kind and soft nature. However, compared to the other managers in the so called 'kiss ass' department, I think he has the highest moral values, the righteousness in him, I admire truely.

Why am I saying this? Just today I had a conversation with one so called 'kiss ass' department manager. My colleague from the same dept had a problem still pending under his staff for quite some time now and we approached him wondering who can help resolve the pending issues mountaining. The arse manager's sarcasm was beyond words and answered us like we're a couple of bimbos. The rudeness, the so called diplomatic, sarcastic remarks really threw me off as I thought this handsome looking manager couldn't possibly say such things. I chose not to counter his remarks. His looks doesn't justify his behaviour at all. I almost decided there and then that I would be friends with ugly people only from now on. Good looking people, high chances they're rotten apples. For this case, the arsehole's worm finally exposes itself!!!

Talking to him was a complete waste of time. I just let him ranted on and on, walked away to show him that ignorance is bliss. He then went to find other audience from members in his dept to listen and boasted about what he commented to me, towards my dept. I didn't show any facial expression at all this time. I was so proud of myself that I proved myself that I could indeed control my emotions if I try really really hard.

In future, beware when you buy apples. You never know which ones are shiny on the outside, rotten on the inside. Not every rotten apple has a worm wigglying out to warn you.
