Trust No One!
Confucius and Mencius says : The Goodness of Human Nature is full of Craps! At least this was what I always believe, yet, it all changes after last evening.
Since we are running a 24 hours shift, if there's any things which needs to be given to all staff, esp those on night shift, I will just leave it on the desk for the Planner to distribute. All these while, regardless if it's documents or gift like bags, speaker and watches. NEVER ever did they gone missing. This stupid watch ( one and only) for the Camp guy was left on my desk since last Thursday night. I was on leave on Friday and back to work on Monday. So when I found it on my desk, ultimately I ask Joel did he collect his watch and he said yes, even nice to give me the names of those who have collected directly from my boss. So I just leave it aside.
Then on Tuesday morning, on my way to the office I saw JJ, who was asking me for the watch, happily I told him he can take it from my desk that evening when he report work. Moment when I step into the office, I realised there is no day planner, hence I wrote JJ's name on a post it pad and paste it on the box, leave it on the planner's desk and I went out for my course.
When I return from my course, it was still there and we were even sitting near the desk distributing some bags from the UNION. When I leave the office at 5.15pm, I still see it on the desk together with the piece of note requesting the planner to distribute the bags to the guys.
Evening about 7+, JJ sms me, ask me where did I leave the watch.. @#$% how can it be missing? That moment, I thought my boss was playing pranks on me, ( he can be pretty childish) but till late night, I still did not rec'd any call from JJ saying he got it and that's it! The watch just vanished! How can it be, I thought I can trust the guys? I really hoped it's some outsider who walks in and took it ( bullshit, it's not that obvious and there is always people in the office). The day shift guys can be trusted ( I believed) and so does the rest of the guys here. Working here for more than 4 years, I would say, there maybe a few clowns and jokers, but so far nothing have gone missing ( at least for my stuff, not counting those tools). It's not as if they don't have, all of us was given one, why so greedy ?
This morning when I came in, I called my young boss and guess what? He say " it's ok, no worries, I'll just get one from HR later and give it to him, don't worry about it lah" Hello.. it's a matter of principles, we can't just let the matter rest? Even if we can't get the culprits, don't they think they should be careful of our stuff, there's a thief in the office and we can't just let that bugger got away. It's so scary to have a thief inside we don't know who he is, how can we work in peace? Does that mean we have to carry our Hp and valuables everywhere we go, strap our handbag with us wherever we go? I'm really surprised that he can be so cool.
This really spoil my day…. Really.. Who can we trust????
