Too tired...

Have anyone notice how the superiors in an working environment always pushes all the blame to you whenever there's a slightest hint of trouble. They will always come up with the "You should have done this" theory to make it sound as if you are not doing your job. But seriously, do you EVEN possess the ability to anticipate things? Are you GOD? Besides, you can be very efficient and get most of the things done nicely, but in the end your work never gets appreciated by anyone. Yup, no one! And whenever something happens, you take all the blame and you immediately become some incompetent worker. That's the society for you, if you are just only the grunt that is.

The other day, while reading some forums, I came across a similar situation. Remember the incident about China's diary products? Well, what I saw was this post that was talking about how inefficient S'pore is to neglect this problem for so long.
"They should have checked the quality of the items before importing them in". Yup, if you noticed, it's that "You should have done this" theory again! I'm really really really tired of this phrase, really! And remember the incident about some kid flying out of the school bus or something? There was some comment by parents about "The school bus should have seat belts in the first place". Another case of the "You should have done this" theory again. I have nothing more to say anymore...I guess you can already see what I mean. Let's think of the other way round, if S'pore really did conduct checks on EVERY SINGLE ITEM before importing them in, will their effort even be appreciated? No, because it's their job right? That's what everyone always says. Your job this your job that and when there's problems, it will be your fault this and your fault that. And do they even think about how much effort it will take to check every single item everyday? That's society for you. And the bus issue, if nothing happens and the bus wants to install seat belts for the children, but need to rise the bus fare. I bet everyone will be making noise about how unnecessary that is and such an idea is only used for raising bus fare and not really for the sake of those children. Well, again, that's society for you.

In any case, my situation is no different from this, since I'm in the society after all and I also understand that people will always find some ways to push the blame to others so as to protect themselves or just for feeling better. But still, I'm realli tired...too tired... It was this time that I suddenly recall the chinese saying, about reducing the big problem to small problem, and reduce the small problem to no problem. But somehow the situation I see is in total reverse. Small problem will always escalate into big problem and even when there's no problem, someone will definitely find some problem for you...that's society again I guess...haiz...really, what more can I say?
