I really hope that NCSS will step in again and do a thorough 'clean-up' at the organisation that I work at.

我的想法

小人很可怕; 有暴力倾向的小人更可怕。偏偏很多慈善机构似乎就是很喜欢凭请这样的人。难道这些慈善机构的领导层不知道很多中途转换跑道的人都没有什么好心肠吗? 难道他们不懂这些中途转换跑道的人很多时候都是因为被裁退等等原因才想进入慈善机构的吗? 后者很多时候都不是基于想帮助不幸的人才想加入慈善机构的。 难道领导层真的不懂吗? 难道慈善机构因为欠缺人才或有空缺就该随便凭请人吗? 至少该有基本原则吧? 不应该因为欠缺人才或有空缺而随便凭请人吧?  真可悲。。。

Food for Thought

Some charities such as the one I'm working at seem to like to employ people with 'questionable integrity', who'll resort to underhand and unscrupulous means, without thinking twice, just to get rid of someone who's upright and above board. Ironically, some of these people seem to think that despite their evil inclinations, they'll still be protected by their gods or by something else. And even more ironically, some of them still think they'll go to heaven when they exit from this world. Do they really think they can escape retribution (or bad karma) or judgement despite all the despicable things they've done and their evil inclinations???!!!

Money that has been given to the organisation I work at for the purpose of pay adjustment for social workers has never been used for the said purpose. There are so many malpractices at my workplace. Sigh... Obviously, the management has not learnt its lesson from the previous saga. I think it's time for NCSS to step in again...

Dare to Dream

Colleagues who don't deserve to get promoted get promoted anyway. Colleagues who aren't suitable to be HODs get to be HODs (because of their connections) anyway. Colleagues who don't deserve unusual increments get them anyway. All my social work colleagues (including the HOD and Deputy HOD) who aren't suitable to be social work professionals get recruited and get to stay on anyway. The very few good ones (including me) get trampled upon and/or are treated like trash!! (天理何在？)And all of these things are happening because of my ED! I'm sure he won't do the same things he has been doing at my workplace with his own company!! Why? Because if he does, he'll be making very huge losses and gaining a bad reputation for his company!

There are too many things that are going on at my workplace that are not right...sigh...真的累了。。。太累了。。。好渴望独处， 因为（足够时间的）独处能让我好好的充电。。。好好的规划我的未来。。。真的太累了。。。

My Thoughts

There are so many troublemakers at my workplace...sigh...:( They seem to enjoy being troublemakers and making life miserable for others. Without these troublemakers, my workplace would be such a peaceful place. :) And without these troublemakers, I'd not have to waste SO MUCH precious time protecting my files, etc, etc. If my big boss would remove existing troublemakers and stop employing troublemakers, I'm sure it'd boost overall productivity and morale at work.

我大老板似乎很喜欢聘请有邪恶心肠的人，也似乎很喜欢聘请很会‘吃蛇’的人。他聘请了很多有邪恶心肠，同时又很会‘吃蛇’的人。:( :( 最近他聘请了一个新同事，才工作不到两、三个星期的时候，已经开始‘吃蛇’了， 而且‘吃’得很离谱！！ 这么会‘吃蛇’的人，人格肯定有问题， 也肯定是缺乏责任感！！！很多时候，这样的人都是小人！:( :(

My Thoughts

In order for a person to work in a charity (regardless of the position), I believe that the top prerequisite is to have a good heart. Sadly and ironically, a lot of people at my workplace have hearts that are inclined towards evil (or are full of evil).

你为了你的‘小白脸’做了超多的。。。例如，你显然的为了他而提升了他部门所有的人, 因而让资深的同事享有28天的年假。。。你也显然的为了他而给他异常的加薪（听说是12%）、提升他两次。。。你甚至为了他多凭请了三个同事。。。（你可以为了他做了这些违背良心的事。。。你应该知道你这样做就等于滥用公款以及滥用捐款。。。）你也为了他而给他很多学习的机会以及表现自己的机会。。。你更为了他而让他参与各项大小型活动的策划。。。还有，你蛮常接他上班、送他回家。甚至于送他和他母亲去医院复诊之类的。。。反之，你却完全没为我做什么。。。甚至于每当我上司欺压我的时候，你只会躲避，完全没替我出气。。。或许你会以为我是在吃醋。。。但是我没有哦。。。我只是在提醒我自己，你这个人根本就完全不值得让我托付终身。。。更何况你又是一个感情泛滥的情场高手。。。

My Thoughts

In the context of my workplace, I think it's terribly unwise to employ a counsellor who's not effectively bilingual. There'll be times when she's required to provide counselling to Mandarin-speaking clients. And if family members or relatives are not available to do the translation for her, her colleagues will have to help. Man-hours are put to waste as a result. And if two people are employed to do the same amount of work that was previously done by one person or if more people are employed to do less amount of work, it's not only a waste of manpower, it's also a waste of financial resources. All these should not have happened, especially when it's a charity that relies on government funding and donations (from companies and individuals). I'm very amazed that the management of a charity that had its IPC revoked in the past does not seem to have learnt its lesson. 

Dare to Dream

Don't assume that managers in (and managers of) charities have good hearts, because in reality, they could be a lot 'uglier' than their counterparts in the corporate world.

Workplace Bullies

If the writer I mentioned in the earlier post were to work in a non-profit organisation, he would probably be very disheartened because the bullying he might encounter in such an organisation could be many times worse than what he had experienced at his recent workplace. So, if you are aspiring to become social workers or if you are hoping to work in a non-profit organisation, please do not have the expectation that you will be working alongside angelic social workers or colleagues (non-social work colleagues).

Breaking Night by Liz Murray

我正在阅读这本书。作者写的是自己和她家人的故事。我很怜悯作者在小时候的遭遇。但是怜悯她的同时，我也庆幸自己不必经历她所经历的。我感觉得到她很讨厌社工；她似乎觉得社工没有同情心、缺乏人情味。
