#Office Bully

[casekek]

sorry but @sorrowful-hyacinth said something about office whump and ohhh my goodness my brain started microwaving itself

office whump!!!!! with a heavy emphasis on the psychological aspects i guess

• whumpee falling asleep at their desk; being woken up with a slap to the back of the head, or getting hot cheap office coffee poured down their collar

• whumpee being forced to work late and hallucinating other employees, voices, the copier turning on and off throughout the night

• the office bully breathing over whumpee’s shoulder to criticize everything they’re doing, or smother them in backhanded compliments, or talk their ear off about themselves to distract whumpee from getting any work done

• overstimulated whumpee; the hum-buzz of overhead fluorescents, constant office chatter, and the constant ringing of phones driving them slowly crazy so theyre prepared to snap on a hairpin trigger. Somebody drops a paper clip and whumpee starts having a nervous breakdown

• medicated whumpee having to take prescriptions on company time, making them drowsy or nauseous but they have to continue working anyway

• maladaptive daydreaming - whumpee coming to very abruptly to find boss as been yelling at them for the last 15 minutes about how they don’t ever listen 😭

• whumpee getting prank called by coworkers, but they’re not funny pranks - feigned calls from corporate make whumpee believe they’re in really big trouble for something, fearing more than just their job is at risk

• company meetings where office bully makes a special example of whumpee’s work… personality… physical appearance… breaking them down slowly. Whumpee being too scared to go to HR about this (or knows it will be pointless)

• workplace ‘injuries’: whumpee accidentally stapling their own fingers; getting papercuts on their tongue from sealing envelopes/papercuts just in general; carpal tunnel from typing; backache and neck ache from that stupid desk chair; headaches and dry eyes from staring at a screen all day; irritated lungs from breathing in shredded paper; stiffness and soreness from the sedentary nature of the job… and so on

• whumpee dreading every time the phone rings, their stomach knotting itself into a pit everytime it goes off. Are they gonna be yelled at? is it a prank again? did the phone really ring at all, or are the voices trying to communicate with them again?

• the dehumanization of employees is always fun! calling them by their cubicle number, forgetting about their breaks and lunch breaks, not allowing conversation or hanging out in the company building, so employees have to crush themselves into supply closets or whatever

• whumpee not being allowed to leave.

Your first day at secretary school wasn’t panning out how you expected. Apparently the *most* important job of any secretary is to know their place under the desk licking the Soles of their Boss.

Today’s diary bad boss

So I noticed lately the boss has been nicer to me because as many times as she’s tried to make me fail by giving me access work throwing curveballs my way, pinging me on a message when she felt like I was not on some thing fast enough. I have been receiving the most Positive feedback. I don’t know how to say it but my work has been impeccable on all points. I’m a second fastest on the team so the more she tries to hurt me and bring me down the harder I work at proving this should be business and not personal. I notice she documents every time we have a one on one meeting each week. She is trying to build a case to hopefully be able to get me fired. She is waiting for a fuck up. she is putting a lot of an effort to stack up whatever she can against me because she simply doesn’t like me …..more to come.

[PEOPLE] High Salary Is Not Everything

Nurul holds a degree in Bachelor of Business Administration from a public university in Selangor. This story is about a chapter in her very own Book of Life. In her eight-year-long career history, her designations have always been in the Logistics & transportation industry. This sharing relates to the time when she got her highest salary, and how it impacted her mindset today.

Born and raised in Johor, Nurul is known to be passionate about her job.

She is always keen to up-skill herself in order to perform her role better. She is efficient perfectionist. To her, appreciation matters. That is why people who have worked with her will either be very comfortable or stress-out, to keep up with her. Of course, every job has its own share of stress and pressure.  Despite all that, her best moments were when everyone was aware of their job scopes and happily found solutions to any problems that occurred together. Colleagues are able to have lunch together and do not let outside issues affect their job performances or office relationships.

Let’s start with a brief history of her employment.

Nurul did her internship as a secretariat in an NGO called the University of Third Aged in University Putra Malaysia, back in 2014. After countless part-time gigs and job huntings, she landed a full-time job as a Forwarding Clerk at T**** N** Logistics Solution in 2015. At the same time, she had a side income as an Insurance Consultant. She often does overtime as well, when necessary, without complaints.

Fast forward to 2022, she was offered a job as the Assistant Supervisor from C** Logistics(in Johor Bahru), offering her the highest pay, to date. So, naturally, she joined the company, for a solid 9 months long. At the same time, she decided to stop being a consultant.

Now, in November 2023, Nurul is in her third month working at B****-L*** Logistics (in Gelang Patah) as the Freight Coordinator. Alhamdulillah, she is much happier here. Better working environment. And this is her only job, no other gigs at all. Although she has less total income now, she is content.

The main reason she quitted from her position as the Assistant Supervisor, was because the surroundings impacted negatively to her mental health.

The workloads were never an issue. She has gone through so much in her working and private lives, yet it never occurred to her that she would ever resign due to such pressure.

That is why, her worst office memories were when she got a job in a company that appeared to be grand, yet, the office culture was too toxic, and the politics were too much. After a few months in the company, due to envy and unverified gossip, she was ostracised. School bullies are all grown up! No one to talk to during lunch was scolded for something she didn’t do. It was frustrating to cry from “mistakes” that weren’t yours to begin with. Slowly, she started to lose confidence at work.

Back in C** Logistics, the higher management, in her words, is not so bad. But, within her own department, the members were less cooperative and not friendly. Seniority holds more power than positions. No training was given, and no proper SOPs were informed. Instead of providing constructive comments and remarks, among colleagues, regardless of rank, the seniors tend to snarl and condemn our work. The few juniors in the department only worked together when no seniors were hawking on them, which is a rare occasion. There was a rumour that Nurul got the job through connections, just because the HR seemed to know her during her interview. That was 100% baseless!

“Almost daily, the seniors required us to work on compulsory overtime, yet not allowing us to claim the rate. Personally, those overtimes, I deemed not necessary, if only proper SOPs were in place and people do their jobs accordingly, instead of “curi tulang”! I know what I am about to say is not healthy, but, I am somewhat a workaholic. Normally, I don’t mind staying back actually, even without pay. Of course, I started to notice these clearly and despised my work, all thanks to their “poor treatment” of me.”

In Nurul’s opinion, for a company to progress and expand prosperously, everyone needs to be trained in their respective job scopes and work together with others, for any tasks/projects to flow smoothly and run effectively.

“My stress level was sky-rocketed. I literally had to drag myself to work, just for the sake of the paychecks, so that I can afford to pay my commitments.” Nurul further adds, “At first, I tried to ignore the sarcasm they threw at me. They even show they’re annoyed without words. Later on, I started to feel the pressure and sense the heaviness, just by having those bullies next to me. ”

So, back in May 2023, to relieve her tensions, she took a one-week leave and went on a trip with her close friends. There, she reflected on herself and had the eureka moments, “Enough is enough!”

During the vacation, she was extra sensitive to almost everything, even mundane, small matters and easily snapped at everyone. Her thoughts were scrambling and she was unable to control her anger and reactions. One of the nights, she had a fever and sought alone time. She recollected her thoughts and realised that some parts of her had drastically changed from her usual herself with her loved ones. “Wow, this is so not me. I had never been like this before. I felt bad for my dear friends, having to deal with my outbursts and tantrums. I need to do something.”

“I need my healthy state of mind back. So, the first thing I did, once I was back in the office, was submit my resignation letter. I figured it was because I kept enduring the pressure at work without resolving it. In return, that stress caused estrange in other parts of my life.”

Nurul has a few messages to share with us:

 Stay positive, stay passionate. Reset and come back stronger.

“Sometimes, it is okay to have any setbacks at work. However, never let that burden monopolise our thoughts.”

Do not focus too much on the monetary aspects. That goal will always keep us hungry and tend to make us seek more and more. A high salary only keeps us happy for a short period.

“I still believe our pay must match our workloads and responsibilities. However, “barakah”(a.k.a blessings) in our wages, is what we should pursue. Be sincere, put in efforts, strive for the best, yet stay content with what we already gained. InshaAllah, enough sustenance is guaranteed, always.”

Treat everyone with equal respect. Help people without any expectations for the help to be returned.

“Believe in Kafarah or Karma, they do exist.”

How do you think Zack from the office would react to a guy checking his ass out?

Hm not sure... I'm thinking if he's with friend he'd call them out and say something like "oh you love my ass fag? Wanna get closer? I'll let you kiss it," hoping he gets a chance to fart in his face and entertain his friends

atsumu’s pr team the type to put him into every possible thing—sports ads, energy drink endorsements, hair care commercials, tiktok trends, the whole thing.

at some point the miya twins try to start a podcast but it’s 30 minutes of them bickering, so it ends after 5 episodes. a youtube channel doesn’t do any better.

but it’s in his mid-late twenties that a movie is pitched to him and his pr team is all over it, marketing him as the up-and-coming romcom heartthrob of the next decade.

atsumu has never acted a day in his life, and sure, he’s hot, has a charmer of a smile and the physique of a god. but the moment he speaks, all of that gets thrown out the window immediately.

They were so precious in their cop partners era

I also realy love the partial role reversal where it seems like Bolin is more protective and caring due to Mako's injury. Its cute and I think a lot of people don't notice how much Bolin tries to support Mako in his own way.

Also this kinda gives me a mini theory that Bolin joined the police force partially to also make sure Mako didn't get himself hurt, since I'm almost 100% sure Mako did not give himself time to recover.

... honestly the concept of how Mako's near death in B4 affects Bolin is so interesting to me I should talk about it more.
