Customer Billed for Rollercoaster When Only A Tyre Swing Is needed
Came across this very meaningful yet funny comic strip about the perceptions of different individuals on a project. This is something I can resonate very well as I am in the midst of completing a project and have gone through almost every one of the stage. Enjoy~!

Interview Blunders
But some of the stories I've heard from the interviewers are really hilarious.
These two situations REALLY happened!

How To Be A Good Manager
A good laugh :) credits to Oliver Widder creator of the Geek & Poke comic strips which focuses on IT humor much like Dilbert.
Licycle of An Executive's Salary
This seems to be a trend that I am noticing among young executives these days, especially when I observe most signing themselves up for long-term commitments (i.e. cars, home, etc.) and spending heavily (i.e. entertainment, mobile phones, etc.) when they don't even have enough savings to last for a year.
I am sure most have gone through their stages when they spend off their first paycheck, sign up for easy payment solutions which promises 0% interest at the expense of future income. It would be okay to indulge yourselves once in a while but do it wisely and save in the process, and pray hard that despite the rising inflation and economic conditions that you still have something saved up :)
NOTE : In this post, I have taken the liberty to include a larger picture but I have implemented a image viewer called Lightbox 2, so it should be pretty easy for you to view an image on an overlay instead of opening a new window or going directly to the image link.

Promotion Parley
Understandably, it's tough to promote a suborinate sometimes. Various factors have to be taken into account - the person's past performance, experience and managerial capabilities, how his/her colleagues will react, how to justify that person's promotion to HR, etc...
Yet it's also very tough on the employee who thinks s/he ought to be promoted but it just isn't happening.
I must stress that my comics are not necessarily a result of my own personal experiences (in case my colleagues ever see this). I'm very busybody and often hear "stories" from all over. So...ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies ;-)Thursday, March 6, 2008

Different Directions
Ever had bosses who are heading different directions, but could never come to a consensus?
Guess who are the ones who suffer?
The moral of the story is, always leave the Board room with ONE decision.
It doesn't matter how the outcome was reached - whether by majority vote or the person highest in hierachy putting his/her foot down, making the decision and taking responsibilty for it.
After that, it doesn't matter what the difference of opinion were. Statements like, "It's a stupid decision! Let's do it the right way" or "Actually ah...I don't agree with the decision wan. But what to do? They pay my salary so I follow lor" will only divide the organisation.
Even worse is when no one wants to be seen as the bad guy so they make no decision and pull their subordinates in different directions.
An organisation without unity will eventually fall apart...after much pain.

"Tai Chi" Skills
My first contribution! My dad saw me drawing and said, "Huh? You can draw wan meh?" Well, I can't, really. I can draw stick figures, scan it into the computer and then make use of my Photoshop skills. I couldn't even produce a comic that fit within the width limit. With practice, hopefully I'll learn to tell stories utilising less space. But for now, click on the image on the left for the full view. I present to you, "Tai Chi" Skills! |
