Sharing of Joy With My Colleagues
I had decided to share my birthday joy with my bosses & my colleagues this year, with the hope to clear some of the misunderstandings that we may have with one another in the course of working with them this year.
I was a little shocked to note that the misunderstandings seems quite hard to clear that one of them actually remarked in front of me that the cake was not nice at all, and only 2 auditors actually thanked me for the cake or wished me a happy birthday. I didn’t wish to voice my unhappiness as I felt that I do not want to spoil my mood over such a happy occasion. I am glad that the people in my own department, my bosses & the receptionist enjoyed the cake. In fact, the receptionist was a little worried that I may take it to heart about the nasty comments that she actually messaged me privately that she enjoyed the tasty cake. =)

My manager, who was stunned by these petty actions by my audit colleagues commented that we would be in for further rough rides ahead. She & I are of the view that the audit colleagues should work hand in hand together, rather than “playing office politics” between departments. In this way, we can serve the needs of our clients better.
Let’s hope the relationship and communication can be improved between the departments soon as it is hard to work in an office with different factions.
Lastly, I would like to thank my boss for the shopping voucher gift from CK Tangs & Takashimaya. =)
