「 毒 瘤 經 理 」 有 八 特 徵
無 能 　 情 緒 化 　 損 員 工 效 率

一般人每天見到上司的時間，比見家人還要多，如果不幸遇上「衰波士」簡直是欲哭無淚。而衰波士又分很多，有小器的、有躁狂的，甚至「有毒」的。英國的心理學家分析出辦公室存在一類「毒瘤經理」，這種上司會對下屬呼呼喝喝、情緒失控、不懂得策劃長遠計劃，令公司的員工有如置身地獄，長遠會損害工作效率。

英國倫敦大學學院授富爾咸（Adrian Furnham ）周三到布里斯托爾（Bristol）向英國心理學會一個會議發表研究，指「毒瘤經理」有以下共同特徵︰學歷不高、情緒失控、傲慢、呼喝下屬。辦事能力低、不懂得如何制訂長遠計劃、不欣賞員工學得新技能。「辦公室存在毒瘤經理，會令員工情緒低落、無心工作。」富爾咸說，雖然這類毒瘤經理為數不多，但由於是高層職員，仍然會對數以千計的員工，造成不良影響，生產力下降之餘，還會令員工不時請假、抗拒上班。

下屬情緒低落無心工作
富爾咸說，毒瘤經理的人格特徵，例如情緒化、變化難測、自私自利等等，與一些不稱職父母的性格和行為，有相當雷同之處，「但其中最悲慘的一環，在於（毒瘤經理）令工作環境變得不愉快，若上司是個毫不體貼、自私傲慢的人，員工會很可憐，因為你每天八小時被困在這深淵。」

英國《每日郵報》

毒瘤經理典型特徵

• 處事反覆無常，令人難以估計會說甚麼 、做甚麼
• 容忍力低，喜怒無常
• 任性，極度自私
• 對工作缺乏長遠規劃
• 焦躁不安、容易感到煩悶、缺乏集中力
• 學歷不高
• 情緒容易失控，經常大吵大鬧、生氣、甚至飲泣
• 不讚賞員工學習新技能的努力

CD Review: Miriam Unlimited

Got this for my friend's x'mas present... when i listen to it for the first few times felt like "oh, not much surprise" - and not really expect much as Miriam is changing her company - usually less resource to be invested in a leaving employee...

Anyway, since i found a lack of "familiar" for the new songs in this album from last wk's k marathon, i've been "boiling" this CD in the last few nites (to get ready for tmr's k!) wahahaha.. anyway, turn out that that maybe most of the songs are "plain" - feel more and more comfy as i listen in the last few days woh.... in general you'll find a very "homey/old" feel i would say, yes not much "surprise", but sometimes plain is for good too :P

or maybe i just like her voice loh :)

我的生存之道- LOVE the lyrics ... very nice; 亦舒說 (very old cake feel, but hearty), 芬梨道上 (hmm. not really my cup); 如果可以不停相愛 (not much special); 她成功了他沒有 (like story telling, even though it's super sad....); 大傻 (this one is the exceptional, attracted by the music > lyrics) others.. u've to find out la :P

maybe b/c the music is "plain", i found that, unlike previously, i put a lot more attention on the lyrics - miriam is like "singing the story" if u know what i mean, btw, this lyric is quite interesting:

• 我只能跳舞

歌手：楊千嬅 | 作曲：C Y Kong
填詞：林夕 | 編曲：C Y Kong

心　未算多
明白你也喜歡我　沒結果
我的履歷使我不再傻
同渡生日說不過

暫時犯個小錯
你至少今晚覺得擁有我
我都真心嚮往跟你坐
如潛入深海看不破

談論美酒沒香檳　這樣更好
不要真醉亦投入到
醉著抱擁便傾倒　未如漫舞
沉默手牽手淡淡然移動最高

＊我也只想今晚快樂　沒有貪同渡雪落
　懷著愛慕換成娛樂　我想也未致墮落
　絕對不問任何收穫　才明白何謂快樂
　無謂破壞別人承諾　渡過今晚便閉幕
　聽朝你飛美國
　留下未發生的寄託
　(無謂被你的她發覺)＊

談地說天未交心　這樣更好
不致將最實情盡訴
醉著說我怎麼好　未如漫舞
隨著歌曲的命運而搖動最好

REPEAT＊

悲　但也喜
其實我也喜歡你　但你要飛
某些錯誤念頭別說起
藏在心中已很美

BREAK the Prison Break~~

so every Tuesday like many other HKese lately will "chase" after Prison Break. ha i guess just interesting to know how they're getting out! Low dai has already finished season 1 & 2 but he'll still nice and discuss while i'm watching (and i kept asking him "hints" and what'll happen!)

*LOL* fun to blow water w/ low dai from time to time... kekekee

Anyway, so TVB Pearl scheduled the 1st season season finale the coming Sunday, and today is the last Tuesday (for regular show).... actually mom got me the whole set DVD earlier (1st season) - and as it's getting to the end i just wanna "finished" the first season for good - so "dig out" mom's dvd set and try to finish off....

let's start w/ disc 8... wait, how come it doesn't run on my notebook?! geez, i wanna watch it on my notebook such that i can watch it BY THE BED..... fine, let's try disc 10... okay same (and making WEIRD NOISE!!) okay okay i gave up, i'll use the DVD player...

got the disc in... "play" i pushed.. hey disc 8 works (well, kinda, at least get the index page), alright, try disc 10 for the last 2 hrs... disc 10 in... "close" the disc dish... okay, then "play"... waiting for the index page... er... wait, nothing happened.... hmm.. waited some more time... what?! it's "hanged"!? FINE, i would just turn the DVD "on" and "off" to "reboot" the machine..

"on" -> "of" -> "play" -> "stop", ops it hang again!! FINE, "on" -> "off" -> " play"... so the rebooting cycles kicked in for like 20 min @_@'''''

"SHIT!" i thought.. "FINE, you win! i'm not watching the season finale tonite," was pissed!

later on i checked the whole set of DVD (10 of them)... The 1st 7 work JUST FINE - just the last 3 DVDs don't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now i really WANT TO BREAK the Prison Break @_@'''

geez, i guess just HAVE to wait until Sunday!!!! X_X

Con't of the interesting question

So turned out quite some feedbacks for the "interesting questions" i've posted earlier - but how come no one ever really voice out what THEY WILL DO?!

(okay okay, maybe except my dear friend - but he only post his feedback ON HIS BLOG?! don't you know there's a "comment" function?)

come on, you can't trick posts like that!!!

wahahahhahahaaha

Alright all, what YOU would do?!

Wasting time....

朋友都叫我唔好再浪費時間係你身上~~

咁.... 又何苦呢???

朋友 replied: 呢 D 咪叫犯賤, 抵死囉

Interesting question...

read it from my cousin's blog with this interesting question, what's your view?

係咩情況下, 你會介紹你既異性朋友俾你既同性朋友識? 點解人會想介紹 / 唔想介紹?

I usually decide w/ 2 approaches: Guy vs. Gal approach

1st approach: the guy - I'm not interested (not admiring him)

• if i'm not "interested" to this guy (not admire him) , it doesn't really matter whether I introduce him to my gfs or not - some times really can just hang out as a group (sing k ah, watch movie ah, do things as a group etc etc). "more ppl happier ma" isn't it?!
  

2nd approach: the guy - I'm interested (admire him but not yet an official bf & gf) . if I admire the guy - well, then it's totally different. It'll become the GAL approach (how close I'm w/ my gf)

• If the gf is very close to me - like so close that i can share w/ her about i admire the guy (and know about the "history" and stuffs....) then why not? b/c i want my close gfs to "help me out and observe the guy" if you know what i mean wakakakakakak
  
• If the gf is not very close to me - why bother to introduce her to him!? hahahahahhaa

Actually there's another possibilities - that i'm so close to the guy that I don't mind what my gfs may guess - so doesn't really matter (okay, it kinda go back to the 1st approach)

i think i think too much again wakakakakkakaa

Hong Kongese English....
