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 - The supply of tissue paper has been replaced by toilet paper.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 ;)
