In life we always encounter all kinds of adversities in all types of humans we have to deal with in our day to day lives. Sometimes we can keep our temper and sometimes we lose our cool too towards them that may result as a disadvantage or a setback for us.

Now, I'll just cut this intro short for I am to thrilled to share this one to y'all chill'hustler's. Hehe...!!!

A Shaky And Toxic Workmate

As I started this new chapter in my life being employed full-time, I need to adjust and adopt quickly into my new work-environment. It's exactly one month today since I started working in this new institution. But, I've already seen enough of my workmates working habits which leads me to writing this special topic solely for him, which has a very toxic and childish attitude.

I am currently working as a back-up manager on a poultry and livestock supply agrivet store wherein sometimes it puts me on an avoidable situation to carry sacks of feeds and dogfood, especially when the sales clerks are delivering customer orders to their houses and farms. The job is very easy with even lesser pressure than my previous work as a branch manager of a well known pawnshop here in the Philippines.

We have two sales clerk here who happens to be my boardmate's too and both of them are always scratching each others ego's in terms of working and the other one also count's the works he's already done each and everytime. This person always on a silent mode, he's not used to speaking and not good in communicating too, maybe because he's not "bisaya" but, he's already three years long staying and working here in cebu. He's Ilocano by the way and the rest four of us speaks cebuano.

Last monday, early in the morning because our call 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM and the store should be open 6:50 AM in order for the workers to be ready once the roll ups are open. The first customer ordered eight (8) sacks of chicken mash pellet for his chicken layer farm and I wasn't able to help him because I was busy entertaining other customers too. So, this workmate of mine starts to act weird and then stops talking too. When they came back after delivering the feeds, the other sales clerk which is also the driver talk and reported to me that this sales clerk was murmuring about me being not able to help him load those 8 sacks of feeds.

At first, after hearing that he was disappointed in me for not helping him, I just laugh soo hard but later on, but later on, it develops hate in me towards him. To be honest, I don't want to deal with him anymore even at this early stage of my job and I also felt sorry for him sometimes, because he's not learning his job obligations as an employee eventhough he's been working in the company for three years now but still doesn't take it seriously and accountable for his actions.

This sales clerk I'm talking about is not that young anymore because he's a full grown man now. If time comes and he can't still develop good communication skills, he will for sure be put in the same situation always, especially his attitude of counting the work he's already did on any basis which is being paid all the time whenever he reports at work. He's also hard headed and un-approachable, if only its not us that he's working with who choose to understand him, for sure he'll be experiencing nightmares everyday at work. Good thing he's the youngest in our workplace at 25 years old and I'm the latest employee which happens also to be the oldest at 29 years old chill'hustler's, which makes it a little hard for me to show my real emotions because I need to act as the most neutral in all of us. So far, the situation been still the same even before I arrive at the company. But I'm hopeful, that someday with life experience and personal life lessons, life will teach him the hard way for him to change and learn to adopt in what environment he's in.

Closing Thoughts

In my personal experience working here in the city for the last 10 years, the best asset we can have is our personality and attitude towards others. Learning to jam with the group your in or just learn to respect and treat them right the way you wanted to be treated. Always remember when put into this type of situations in the future, you should be clever in a good way and try to give respect all the time, because respect can't be earn in one night but rather through giving respect to others. Be mature enough and always try to choose the simplest way in dealing with these types of situation and the most important of all is to accept any situation no matter what will happen.
