Work is a playground

So, here I am thinking I have matured because of work but alas, I have overestimated my colleagues. I don't think it's a bit of a decline in their behaviours but the inner child they have hidden so well has finally leaked out when bad shit strike. So, to cut the long story short, most of my colleagues are not happy with their latest salaries. Some turned two faced; some turned confused; some turned greedy and some turned just paranoid. And mind you, their age ranges from 24 to 50+. I'm actually quite surprised with the 50+ woman, given I respect her almost like a family member. So just like any scenarios, we got characters at work now.

The Robin Hood - So, heroes are supposed to do good deeds but somehow Robin Hood became a hero by stealing and handing them out to the poor. Now, we do have a leader who's kinda siding the poor (or the misfortunate.. actually the self acclaimed misfortunates). But the robin hood at work has this two face and might I add, the heroine, herself, doesn't know the real cause of her two faced ness... confused much?

The Backstabbers - Nah, it doesn't sound as bad as it does but in times of need and stress, one cannot cottonmouth and ignore other's downfall. So, no matter how friendly these people are, the ugly truth about their friend spilled out. Thank god I decided not to tittertale.

The Greeders - Yeah, they're nice people but once they could see the hope of getting high paid raises, they would do anything to fight for it. I know there are a lot of reasons why people work but when it comes to stages where you cannot help but just accept it, I would hate to see them leave but it's either a stay or go case.

The Confused - Some people are still confused in the playground not knowing how to solve things or not even know how to talk. I might be one of them.

So, my observations remain focused and my mouth remains shut. I do love them all to be honest.. it sucks to see them be all hideously immature all of a sudden
