Perception ..

The President of the company does not like me ... so i was told. but i only had 1 encounter with him. it was a very brief encounter though. we were both waiting for the elevator at the lobby one morning.

when i stepped foot into the lobby, i saw him standing there. i greeted "good morning, sir".

after 1.5 years of being in the company i am finally told by someone that he has no good impression of me ?!

i asked why and was there any feedback or 'small talk' why he has a negative perception of me. but i dont have my answers.

i have concluded that "" Perception is NOT a reality, unless proven guilty!!""

scold Joeleen: Hey girl. Hope you are fine. And i agree with you. If they can tell you that. And they want tell you why. It might not be true at all. Try not to worry about that. Its nice to see you again.

yeah, unless i am told what is wrong and i change for the better otherwise, what the hell !!

i am doing good, lady. of cos, i think of my dear friend from time to time. good to see u around too.

@ JoleenC - Sounds to me like someone is just playing mind games with you..... Just ignore them, typical office political BS.... company presidents don't get to keep their position instigating office gossip about their subordinates or making brash judgements from brief encounters..... professor .... hug wine
Hi Ms. Joleenhandshake
Keep on doing your great work @ your officehug
scold Joleen: Its okay, to think of her. And you should. I do all the time. Exspecially when i see a car. Like the one she had. And Hans is right! Thats just company drama, trying to get started. Act as if. you never heard anything. Let sleeping dogs lye.
Hans, the truth is there has been quite a few termination in the office recently. again, like what u said the Presidents dont play this kinda mind games...but i dont want to say i am still unsure cos i still stand firm that Perception is NOT a reality!

francie, thanks for the encouragement... hope u are doing well.
hans, sorry i meant Presidents dont play mind games like he rest of the people and i agree with u. but the recent terminations in office do set me thinking why it is happening. even to peopleAngel whom i know good at what they do and to me, dont seem to cause any trouble at all....

well, since i dont hear of what is wrong with me , as Angel, let sleeping dogs lie.

thanks for sharing your thought though.
Hi JC,,

Believe me a President of a company does not go around having 'small talk' in connection of whom he likes and dislikes, not even with his PA. He would never have reached that goal with pettiness.

Sounds more like a busybody thats jealous on you.handshake cheers cheers
@ JoleenC - This is a common trick to play on people when there are terminations taking place because if you can unrest someone they start making mistakes cause their own mind can't leave it alone.... if they get terminated for their mistakes, that's one chance better for someone else to keep their job.... this is an old office mind game and you have to stand tall above it.... professor .... hug wine
cheers, ken, luke and hans .... thanks for being so positive and encouraging.

i am totally not bothered !!

cheers cheers cheers
That person should be concerned how the company president feels about him/her and not YOU!!!
Just remember that he dose not have to like you as a person,
But he should respect you as a worker.

Don't be afraid to ask for his evaluation of your progress.
as this is in the best interest of you him and the company.
If it is culturally acceptable dunno
As Hans said Pay less heed to the whispers of nobodies. wave
Bummer, but you shouldn't believe all you hear. The local sheriff didn't like me when we met. He said "Yew ain't frum round here are ye?"

"That's so astute!" I answered with a smile and playful eye contact. "What gave me away?"

"Don't take no rocket scinetist t figir that one out," he growled. "Whar yew frum?"

"Me?" I sighed, "Oh, I am from Elsewhere. It's a little town about 200 miles south of here."

"Yew jest be sure you stay outta trouble lessen I have to arrest ye."

"Oh, Yessir! I got my mind right, Boss! Right here, shakin it!" I assured.

I have remained friendly and playful and I think I'm breaking him down! Soon, he'll be hittin' on me in madness! (Time to get out of Dodge, me thinks.) cool
agree with what Non say wine
it doesn't really matter as long as you get your paycheque. job satisfaction is an oxymoron in today's world.
Joeleen, do your work and forget "perceptions".. maybe yours is not correct also.wine
