Shameful? You tell me.

Eye opener. This is the very first time in my life feeling so ashamed of some senior managers for bullying juniors down the hierarchy.

First of all, I for one, do not believe in using authority to prove one's status in an organisation. Simply because my value is to earn respect through setting examples, and not by managing from the ivory tower. Sad to say, however, after being in 'senior management' for just 1.5 years, I witnessed how lowly these so-called 'Senior' guys are. And I'm not talking about high-handed politics. It's just plain bullying.

It does not matter that hardwork in setting up the platform was forgotten. But when it comes to narrowing down to targeting just a few people (juniors, who are several levels down) who were brought in by me to help set up the business shows alot on just how immature, insecure and unprofessional these 'Seniors' were. Bear that in mind they are people who had their fair share of experience of being managed out, retrenched, and died in the world of politics in their previous places. That they, too, started from a junior position, and worked their way up to where they are today.

Because of their own incompetency and ignorance, they now try to find fault with others for the gaps they caused and the troubles that followed.

If I were them, I'd have hang myself and died long time ago.

But then again, they will never be me; and me, them. They will never measure up.
