My office walls have ears-the real story

There are a lot actually but I'm gonna tell only one.

One of the new staff (she used to be a trainee at the firm) smokes. An Akak asked a trainee to add her on Facebook and then the Akak said, " Siapa kawan awak yang hisap rokok tu?"

The thing is, only a few people know that she smokes and if you know the people at my work, you'd understand why she's worried.

And then the trainee re-tell the story with a loud voice. Trust me, the story will be all over the building by tonight.

I know there's a reason why I don't trust these people.

Wani.

sorry if this is uncalled for but i just got to let this out of my chest.

this bloody profession is killing me weyh. remember how we used to like listen to those segamat lecturers talk about how it was really tough being in the real world and how they saw mismanagement or unethical conducts committed in front of them every single day yet there was nothing they could do to stop it? on one end you have the good you who wants to change the world or at least the ways in which the organisation to which you are attached to, are being run and all those ethical craps they preach to you start messing with your head. on the other, you have that irritable constant nagging that whispers "heck, so what? if this pays the bills, then i should just fucking zip it up and move on"

and then you go back home and you lay down on your bed and you start to think of those who have been deprived of their rights, and god sends you this sudden conscience kick and you think fuck, i'm just like the them, arent i? i do nothing to stop all this nonsense and what does that make me? and you start thinking about looking for other places to work in but then you wonder, wouldn't that come with their own issues later? different context maybe but same old bloody problems.

what do you do to keep your sanity? i mean i just can't anymore.
