hypocrisy and complete bullcrap

people are always saying that any experience you can get will teach you about real life whether it is a job, internship or volunteer work. i've noticed that the "real world" and life is full of hypocritical people and complete bullcrap. i've been working at this organization with 3 other people. the supervisors in this organizations are never satified with any of the work we hand in. even when we spill our guts, the always find a way to complain and basically bitch about us and our lack of (fill in the blank with professional adjetives). the staff there are hypocritical. they say one thing yet do another thing. and they are so two faced that its ridiculous. they put up a show to outsiders to show how good they and the organization are when those who actually work there know their really personality ad their fakeness. and one of the staff who isnt even a supervisor and is leaving this year is an exception pain in the ass. she always complains about us to our supervisor even when we all work in the same area right next to her. if she got something to say, why can't she tell it to our face, we're right there! she just runs to the supervisor behind our backs when we're not there to defend ourselves. she seriously needs to get her own life and stop trying to mess with ours. the 3 of us put up with so much of this organization's bull crap yet we can't leave because we need the "resume experience". so instead of an enjoyable experience, the 3 of us basically hate where we work but at least we have each other to vent to at the end of the day about the stupid hypocrisy and the stupid people we call supervisors.

oh by the way, when i interview for another another job, and I talk about this one, i have to say good and nice things about this experience because it's unprofession to talk negatively about your previous job and then i wont get the job so ill talk about all the great life experiences i got from this place. talk about playing games.

A little Pyshcology for Ya'll :)

Social desirability ... the desire to be socially excepted and be viewed positively by society. It is the underlying motivation in almost all of our actions.. if you think about it you really do filter most things you do through a societal filter.. what would society think of the actions you are doing? .. and what would society say?
- think of your own facebook page.. society judges that.
Society judges your appearance, the way you talk, the way you walk, every aspect of yourself. Think about what motivates you to act the way you do. Why do you do your hair? Why do you get dressed in the mornin wearing what you do? Why don't you wear something silly .. or walk around naked .. because of society. Society judges and effects almost all of our daily activities. We do what we do because society says its acceptable.
- So think about the things you do in a day next time you do them.. and think about why you do them. <3

6 more to add...

69. Do you see a thorough line to your grandparents?

Yes. I can draw the family tree that starts with both sets of my grandparents and goes through my uncles, aunts cousins, parents and my sibling. even though I can draw the family tree, I don't know all of my relatives by face because I haven't met all of them.

70. Were you close to them?

Unfortunately, I wasn't close to my grandparents. I never met my father's parents because they died when he was very young and I only met my mother's mom when I visited her in Malaysia in 7th grade. Some people are lucky enough to have grandparents who live in this country or even in the same city as them. They can visit their grandparents basically anytime they want. I have to take a 20 hour plane ride to see my one grandparent.

87. Do you think society makes a big deal of..... Of divorce?
We were talking about this subject in class. The statistic is that at least fifty percent of all marriages end up in divorce. Divorce nowadays is not that big of a deal. Back in the days of our grandparents, it was looked down upon for people to get divorced; it was highly discouraged. I feel like it is now socially accepted to divorce. In a class of 30 students, you can find at least 3-5 students whose parents are divorced. I guess it's not really "til death do us part".

146. Would you expect your spouse or your child to ‘get up and move with you’? For the next best job?


If it is my dream job or career, then yes. I would get up and move if I didn't have my dream job but my spouse was about to get one. Family comes first and staying together is important. Getting up and moving for a dream job is understandable.

147. To keep a job?


It depends on the job. If it is absolutely necessary, then I would expect them to move. But if my spouse had a decent, stable job then I would let the job go and try to find another one.


148. To even be employed?

Yes, if it means being employed then definitely yes because it is out of necessity. In a time of recession and a high unemployment rate, it is very important to be employed. If either move and keep the job or be jobless and have no money. You can't live comfortably if you don't have a job.
