It's been a month and a day now since I started expanding my knowledge on poverty in Brunei through this job. On the sidelines, I have learned a lot especially in the area of human behavior rather than the scope of this research project itself. For starters, the unprofessional superiors. To differentiate the problem solving method between the office superiors and myself, I have never resorted to screaming, yelling and public humiliation as part of the learning process to my subordinates. From my point of view, their actions will only demotivate their subordinates. Too ego to accept the fact, now at the critical point when they needed extra hands the most, none are willing to give a helping hand. Everyone's too eager to see the so called superiors to screw up their own mess further. Work contract acts like a jail-free card, once the period is over, everyone is flocking out of the cramped cell breathing the fresh air of freedom!

I on the other hand am still here with the firm finishing up the work being assigned to me. As much as I want to leave since my contract period is over, I still think it's not the appropriate thing to do given that I have accepted to perform this task up to the end. All this strength is from the supportive big boss of mine who has never failed to take care of my team's welfare even if the other superiors are acting like jackasses to us. Oh please reward us with a huge bonus for our effort! Tough work, mentally challenging! :)
