I recently wrote this article in my blog. I actually gathered some information from various sources and came out with the list.
If you happen to notice more than 20% of the things in the list happening in your office, then perhaps it is not a very good sign.
- Everyone is watching Youtube.
- The list of online people in Facebook, most of them are your colleagues.
- Your colleagues are playing games during office hour. Some are watching movies. Their excuse? Nothing to do.
- Your office space is getting a bit crowded. Many people who are supposed to be in client’s site, are back in the office.
- Or, your office space is becoming less crowded because people are being laid off or forced to go on unpaid leave.
- You always see a group of people going into a meeting with the bosses, and after the meeting everyone looks gloomy, with a letter/envelope each in their hands.
- Your office network is getting slower everyday. Someone is busy streaming or downloading.
- The biscuits in the pantry have not been refilled for a couple of weeks.
- The supply of tissue paper has been replaced by toilet paper.
- Your bosses start to monitor everyone’s behavior and what online activities they are doing in the office.
- Your sales guys are having extended tea breaks……..far too often.
- Your office is getting darker - in terms of lighting and also aura.
- There’s no more weekly or monthly updates from the bosses. They just don’t care anymore.
- Most of your management people left.
- Your management is arguing with you over a claim which is worth RM 5.
- Removal of some of the employees’ benefits.
- The plants in your office are dying. Nobody is taking care of them.
- The lunch breaks are getting longer, from 1 hour to maybe 3 hours.
- Your company starts to take in any kind of projects….including those that are completely out of scope or not within the industry.
- etc….
Feel free to add to the list ;)
