Arrowing....

Yesterday I watched "Just follow Law" VCD by Fann Wong and Gurmit Singh in my branch computer together with my branch ppl, and I think it's really a funny yet realistic show abt how the government sector works lar. Being quite evil, we will "match-made" every character in the movie to "somebody" in my unit, based on their working style and stuff. Example, the "PO fessionalism" (from po lam pa a.k.a book lickers) we can almost instantly linked to "somebody" arz.

Initially when I started using issac card, I have always wondered why my superiors will constantly remind me to "CC" to whoever and whoever although the email has NOTHING to do with these group of people involved. I will think why can't I just send email to the relevant ppl under "To" and not need to CC to those irrelevant ppl. Now I know why.

"CC" is perceived as "Cover Cahceng" (cover backside) and BCC stands for "Better cover cahceng" (Better cover backside). If u don't CC to ppl, those ppl UP THERE will think that u r not working and will penalise u on that. Hence, now I learnt a VALUABLE lesson of "CC" emails to MANY MANY ppl that are seriously not relevant to the emails at all, and the sole purpose is just to tell the WHOLE world that YOU ARE ACTUALLY DOING WORK. Gosh.

And another thing about emails is the "ARROWING" part. If u ever watch that show, then the part where lots of arrows just keep flying around whenever someone sends an email. For example, whenever there's a PROBLEM, the so-called "directors" of each BRANCH (**hint**hint**) will start sending email and pushing blame to the head of other BRANCHES (sounds familiar again) and then finally all these emails (ARROWS) will eventually end up in the BOSS's computer.... (Ahem, reminds me of the TERROR days in the past) and then finally the BOSS will "merge" all the small arrows into one BIG arrow and then FIRE off into a small fry in the company (that sounds like us) and eventually the employee just DIED due to the BIG arrow.

Oyaz, and there was one IMPORTANT LESSON that they teach, which is never to skip the chain of command, and if u ever break that rule, u will just die horribly lar. This is just so FARKING true lar. Always report to ur immediate superior, if cannot then report to ur next immediate superior and so forth, and I swear it's just suicidal if u skip that command as I've seen LIVE examples of how some ppl "died" w/o them knowing how they die. Haiz, I think maybe one GOOD thing about the Army is that it gives me how the "REAL WORLD" is like when I work outside next time in a few years down the road. Then some of the "scheming tactics" will come into play and have to learn how to play along the LOOPEHOLES of the RULES AND REGULATIONS.

I also donno why I'm talking abt this, but that show is like just so fantastic lar. Hahaz, really worth watching, And seriously, I doubt this only happens in the govt sector. I guess private sector also like that lar.
