The 3 types of people I met over nearly 3 decades in Corporate Malaysia : 1) Those who take initiative without being told - they usually meet or exceed their KPIs, they seldom complain or when they do offer suggestions and constructive criticism, they are seldom late and take very few sick days, they even come in on weekends to do urgent work. 2) Those who need instructions before they do something out of their job scope- these makes up the majority of the working population, they are clock watchers, they spend half the day on office politics, playing online games. When deadlines loom near and the boss questions them , they then stay back till 7 pm to complete work and whine about it when it was due to their own procrastination in the first place. They also have a tendency to think they are more competent than their boss, many of them have a tendency of taking unscheduled leave or MC on Mondays & Fridays. This group struggles to maintain their KPIs 3) Those who need repeated instructions and reminders - this group consistently do not meet their KPIs, they are always whining complaining and blaming any given situation on others. Usually their co workers need to cover their back log. They usually take frequent emergency leave and MC and exhaust their leave well before the end of the year. They always whine about heavy workload (which others do for them) and seem to think those in category 1 are the boss pet (duh ?) they seem to think the world owes them a living and have a tendency to talk about spiritual hullabaloo when they cant even exercise common courtesy and shirk their responsibilities. This group tend to be avid conspiracy theorists and usually dont check their facts. Unless you are category 1. dont talk poppycock about quitting 9 to 5 to be your own boss, unless you want to be a mediocre entrepreneur who needs BR1M to subsidize your needs and dont even earn enough to pay taxes. If you are category 3 its better you just relocate to the suburbs and forage for your sustenance or hope the government gives you more handouts. If you find this post annoying, yes I am talking about YOU.
