While I was on the phone with a very important customer in the office today, I can't help but get distracted with the loud noises coming from the non work-related conversations of some of my colleagues. While I sometimes make loud noises with some of my colleagues, which I at some level am embarrassed about, the noises these specific colleagues make are totally unacceptable and uncalled for.
They suck.
It came to a point where I had to send an instant message to another colleague to vent out my annoyance with this group of clamorous people. Worst of all, they talk about people who are not even talking about them. Listening to their conversation (I was not being chismoso, but they were talking loud enough for me to hear), I realized how disappointing to have unprofessional people in our department. For the record, only a handful of them are being unprofessional...we still have sensible and civilized people in the department. I can't help but think: Is this the kind of people that this specific university can be proud of? Should this particular western city be proud of natives like these unprofessional people? And these people are not kids anymore.
Extremely disgusting.
It's not just their loud talking that showed how unprofessional they are; it is also what they were talking about.
Who do they think they are to act that way?
I know I am not somebody, but what I know for sure is that I don't like how these people were acting and I am definitely not like them. Their behavior is worse than not showing up for work, worse than not giving their full attention to the customer, worse than abandoning an ongoing transaction with a customer. These are the kind of people a professional department does not deserve to have.
The good thing is I still have a good number of colleagues who are being professional and who mind their own business. We can do something about this and cut this negative behavior. If these lousy people will not change their ways, we will feed themto the lions.
