Two Faced Bs

To all you mean-spirited, two-faced (because you are a kind and caring angel with passengers but a witch the moment you step into the galley) and impatient seniors: Do you remember when you were still new at work and were being zapped left, right and centre by seniors whom you wish you will never again have to work with? Seniors whom you tried to avoid at all costs?

Well, I hate to break this to you but you have kinda become the very people you despised. Don't you remember that you were once unfamiliar with your work? Didn't you wish then that your seniors would be more patient with you? Why then do you treat your juniors in this manner now? Does putting others down make you feel better about yourself? Why do you nitpick? Don't you know that positive reinforcement works better than negative reinforcement?

How do you expect people to respect you when you do not practice what you preach? You are only nice to people when it benefits you - when you have done something wrong and may need them on your side because you are worried you will be reported? Too late... Why do you try to encourage pilferage? Are you trying to get us into trouble? Why in the world would you think that your colleagues may want to go sightseeing with you after the way you treated them at work? I hope you remember that what goes around comes around.

And why oh why do you try so hard to speak with that annoying fake accent when communicating with caucasians? It is so pretentious. You may be pretty and passengers may fall for your act but you know what you are really like. How do you sleep at night? How do you live with yourself and what does your partner see in you? Is he also mean like you? Or are you a different person when you are with him? It is truly puzzling how some guys choose their partners.

I find the definition of our culture by some seniors baffling and totally contradictory to what the company represents. In accordance with our image, shouldn't we all be kind, gentle, warm, friendly and patient to everyone? Regardless of race, sexual preference, gender and seniority? And if you are only that way with passengers but throw your weight around with colleagues, then isn't your life just a big fat lie?
