Work moral

At work something happened that made me think about writing this post
2 months earlier a colleague left work and another one was hired to fill her place
since day 1, all the rest of staff agreed on one thing
she's a very difficult person to deal with
it was a personal opinions not related to work
no one was happy doing the smallest conversation with her
bit by bit, her work attitudes turned to be the worst ever seen
doesn't want to help anyone, answering to the superior and other with tone full of IMPUDENCE
her first and always answer to anyone is: why me? it's not in my job description or I'm not going to do IT
no one was actually judge her work or her efficiency, it was all about personal stuff

yesterday talking with one of the staff (a real good decent person), she raised her voice and things turned to be a fight
each went to the chairman office and he took a decision in a millisecond
"I'll let her go today"
and he did

in less then an hour, all the staff were working on how to replace her
downloading CVs and calling people to set interviews before even she left the office

the moral is when you are bad in dealing with your colleagues, no one will give you a second chance. people will be happy to let you go.
the thing that keeps pumping up in my mind is that i was her superior and i was the only one who judge her work, and i didn't share this with all the rest, only with my superior
but all the rest of the staff judge her personality only and they were all agreed that she has to go
most of all the chairman who didn't took much time to take his decision, in fact he already made his decision before she entered his office
and for him the problem wasn't about the level of efficiency but the bad communication and cooperation between her and the rest

build strong work connections with your colleagues and be ready to help when you can if you can, because that's how you earn stocks in the market of your company

Silver Metallic people

Colors are one major tool humans use to express themselves, thoughts, ideas, entities, ... etc
In Egypt we are bad with colors.
walking in the streets, you will find one color dominates, and it's not a nice color at all ...
SILVER
the street lamps are silver/black, the new big veolia trash cans are silver, lot of shops sign, TVs, receivers, shopping cart in carrefour, shelves in malls, ...

stop at any mobile shop and step 2 steps back and take a whole look at the shop window, it's ALL SILVER plus some black/ metallic
take a look at the online store for elshennawy

have you noticed the cars: the new models are all in silver, when asking a car salesman: what are the colors available for this mode? silver of course and gold and red and silver and.. ehh white and silver and gold and ah ... aha the black will cost you more of course

when obama visited egypt, elMasry elYoum wrote this title:
«القاهرة» باللون البرونزى.. «أوباما جاى»

It's not really bronze it's silver
apparently we use silver to describe the "new" "modern" "rich" "high tech"
check any gadget and see the available colors: SILVER metalic
even airports, check this, (It's a client)

BUT WHY?
why the extensive use of the silver color to express the modern, high tech
in the 70s when the space movies disease started, it was all in silver: the space ships, the equipments, the buildings, and of course there were other colors used but not to describe the heroes of the movies
as usual we copied the idea and then stopped, the 70's era ended and we still stand on the same point
modern, hightech= silver
THEY (fi Europe we eldwal elmotakadema) evolved to the multicolor era, space movies are in colors now as you can see posters of some of (2008/2009)
but still other movies in silver
check the whole list of the space movies

the point is the lack of imagination status that is controled the society, i don't want to have a silver mobile, silver TV, silver receiver, silver car, i want colors but i can't simply because there is not any.
it's how a bad taste or one taste dominates.

STOP THE SILVER INVATION
