It's called PDA

I used to see a lot of PDAs on the streets before ... but right now, it seems that it's getting lesser. Don't get me wrong, I am not encouraging it. Probably, the reason of me seeing it lesser is due to the fact that I am going out lesser. When you have any MPs with you, or Ipod, you get caught in your own world.

I know this fella here, an expat who just arrived here not too long ago, has been doing just that. If you think he is only 20s, you're wrong. If you think he is only 30's you're wrong also. He is indeed approaching 50 now, a divorcee with 2 kids who is not here with him, and has a fiance.

When he puts on his blazer, put a nametag, and something that symbolizes the company, he should not be doing all these in public, especially if he is doing that inside the company and guess what, he isn't some junior staff, but the highest post. Don't you think you, as a boss, should act decently, to show that you ought to be respected, and not the other way round.

When you're new, and you have all the employees there who has been working there for the last 5 years, 6 or even 10 years, is hard for them to accept you for that because, this industry is all about professionalism. You, doing that, shows just the opposite. In comparison, your predecessor
has been decent all along, from the first day he's here until the last day. The moment you arrived, everything is gone. The image of a big boss, everything is crushed. You spoilt everything. Your position could not be justified with your actions.

If everything is done outside in public, perhaps, nobody will say anything, but ... you have been doing everything here. I heard this phrase before, people don't eat and shit in the same place, but you .. have been doing just that. It's all about respect and I supposed, each and everyone has been expecting much more from you.
