I often see videos on TikTok telling stories about how horrible their job or workplace is. It's the kind of video that sarcastically criticizes the not-so-good aspects of their boss, workplace, and coworkers. It's funny in such a way that it's true and it's relatable. I also experience issues in my workplace that are similar to what is being featured in the videos.
Office politics are the ones that get into me because I'm annoyed by it. I still don't know why I'm being affected by the kind of people who rely on office politics to make themselves look better than others. I wonder what goes on in their mind whenever they successfully bring others down to make themselves look like they are working.
I think it's the kind of stress that doesn't help the company in the best way. It's the kind of stress that makes an office culture a bad experience to have for someone who just wants to do their job.
I wonder if there is an appropriate work culture that will cultivate growth in every employee of a company without sacrificing the quality of work. Does it always have to be putting pressure on each individual just to achieve the KPI that a company sets for the employees?
Somehow, in my company, I feel like we or some of the employees are feeling the pressure of not being able to achieve the standard that the company sets. It's the kind of standard that I feel is not based on a realistic analysis of what should happen.
I think there will come a time when I will become so fed up that I will leave my company for something better. I hope that I will find a better alternative soon while I'm still able to hold to my optimistic point of view of life.
