Some thoughts...

Bonus...

With March ending and April approaching, everyone in the office seems to be eagerly anticipating the BONUS!!

I have colleagues complaining about "Why can't they just let us know quickly when we are going to get it and how much we are going to get first?" And the rational behind this "frustration"? - "So i can plan how to use it."

Hmmm... Since when did the company owe us a bonus anyway?

From the Collins English Mini Dictionary: Bonus = something given, paid, or received above what is due or expected.

So why do we still expect that the company MUST give us a bonus??

If you don't get it... Try harder this year.

If you do get it... Hey! It's a bonus for your hard work last year. Enjoy!

Asking for help??

Why do people deny the existence of the almighty and yet still ask him for help?
-"If you are really there, please..."

Principled??

Why do people always try to appear principled when all they really are is being plain petty?
-"It's not a matter of how much it is. It is a matter of principle..."

Gentlemenly

Being gentlemenly had been greatly misunderstood.
Simply put, it is just the ability to make other people feel comfortable.
