Communication

Depending on your working environment, you may find this offending or you may face the same situation as I am. Frustrated and felt so hopelessly handicapped.

Isolation?
Noticeable when going out for lunch, we have been isolated. Being rationale, ignore the isolation and get on with our life is better. As I know splitting 1 team in 2 difference place is bounced to cause isolation.

Co-operation?
Cooperating meaning wait and discuss. In the ends, it means talking blanks and finger pointing to someone to do the work. Why wait when 1 person can do the work just fine?

Tolerate?
Being tolerate means being viewed as weak and undecided, so much for mister nice guy. I wonder how they define tolerate and decisive.



Definitions of COMMUNICATE on the Web:
* transmit information ; "Please communicate this message to all employees"; "pass along the good news"
* transmit thoughts or feelings; "He communicated his anxieties to the psychiatrist"
* convey: transfer to another; "communicate a disease"
* join or connect; "The rooms communicated"
* be in verbal contact; interchange information or ideas; "He and his sons haven't communicated for years"; "Do you communicate well with your advisor?"

My definition of office communication, keep it short and simple. Just make them understand what you want, let them decide how to execute it, they are not young kids, they have mind to think and I don't plan to insult their intellectual ability.

When the armies are engage in battle, the commanding officer issue 'Fire at will', I wonder what will the soldier do? Are them in a mess? They know what to do and will execute it properly. Are they train to do it? Yes, so are the people in office, they are not new hires and no detail instruction is required.

Too much of communication means lack of productivity. Maybe this is the way the people wants it. If you don't communicate with me, then I will give you a hard time.
