Reality 2030 - What is?
--------------------------------------
Anyway.
I used to respect warrant(non-commission) officers for their experience, their wisdom perhaps, but the respect seems to be slipping away slightly, especially after encounters with one of my superiors who happen to be a warrant officer.
Like I may have told some of you all, he's one that no NSFs can hold a conversation with for more than half a minute without some sort of scolding or him raising his voice.
Not only has he got a bad temper, he is a very mean person and he's not, the least bit intelligent. And he cannot hold his temper. It's so freaking obvious. Even when he's unhappy with his superiors his face turns blood red. I guess he will die of high blood pressure someday. Also, he's rude (raises his voice, impatient, arrogant) to warrant officers (who are much older than him in age) of the same rank, because he thinks his appointment is special. He's also a freaking bootlicker who cares about face and face only.
Let me just state four examples - and mind you, they took place today, in just one day. Let's call this warrant officer F.
1)F has a tiff with another colleage of mine, and F has been finding way to twist words, making a big fuss out of small matters, so that F can bump him off our office. And in the meantime F tries to get the rest of us to pick up his job so that we can function without him. Naturally, we would try to siam as no one would want more work.
2)This female officer (she wasn't angry or anything, more of inquisitive tone) was just wondering if another officer took his IPPT. So I checked the system for her, and the response was negative. Immediately, F came to know of this and flared up. When I checked with my upperstudy and realized there was an admin lapse, he got .. just.. blah. yea.
3)F can't seem to read/interpret English. Today there was an outing, so to speak. It was supposed to be an half day event, and we could go home after that. Out of goodwill, my friend messaged F and asked, "Sir, if there's no work for us, can we go off now?". There was no response and we were told to go off first (by another superior junior in rank to F). My friend was already off on his way when F flared up real bad (F did not know about my friend going off, I covered for him and called him in secret to come back, and thankful, in time). He demanded that everyone be gathered in front of his desk for questioning. And half the time F was saying/repeating, "What off? What off? Who give you off? Who say can take off?" Apparently, his mind was only set to filter out these words. Off. Leave. Such words are big no-no and they will be taken away even when we sacrificed our time for some event/deserved it/was an off-in-lieu. Also, my guess is that his English standard was really bad. He doesn't seem to understand that 'go off' meant literally, going home, going out, leaving the camp, like, seriously, he doesn't understand English. And we were forced to stay back late when people from other companies were already home/in town.
4)F was doing some monthly NSF performance grading thing. Upon hearing that awarding a C could mean serious difficulty in securing a job with the government, he gave it without hesitation to the friend I mentioned in (1). Also, another colleague of mine was awarded some award(not to be named, it's only given to one person in the entire camp every month) for outstanding performance. F was even reluctant to award him an Outstanding grade for him. He gave him a B instead.
These are like, just a few of the many many, small, stupid things.
Sigh. Why does it seem so hard for F to be kind? Or at least, respect people?
Why, does it hurt you(F) to be nice to others? Do you think others will cooperate more if you are mean to them? Do you not realize that we(my mates and I) can simply refuse to cooperate? Simply puy, just screw up all our work and the harshest punishment you can melt out is give us extra duties. And how long can you give it to us? 2 years? Work is piling up dude. And your image will be tarnished. Goodbye, career.
Now it really does make sense that warrant officers have to salute to fresh lieutenants who just graduated from cadet school. For the simple fact that the former doesn't seem to be able to rationalize as well as the latter.
Who would, in the first place, be in the right frame of mind to sign on as a specialist?
