Have you really wonder how come a person is employed when he/she does not know anything on what she/he is supposed to be working ?
Have you wondered how come he/she has been in this company for so long and have he/she get promoted, he/she seems dun know what is going on ?
Have you ever wonder when he/she has made mistakes for their own programme, he/she has caused a inconvenience to my department, which in turn haf to delay other ppl job deadline ?
It is so irritating to ppl, who thinks they know how to tok, but work wise, is I am the one who do the shit, and i have so many deadlines to give to ppl, and there u are juz telling mi what to do, dun u think u feel abit inconsideration ? My manager has try to calm mi down, telling mi that all these are part and parcel of working life, but then u cant do it everytime u know, dun u know we have only 2 hands and 1 brain ? it irks mi at times u know...so pissed off...
i scolded one of the team leaders few days back, for being so ignorant, forgive mi for scolding, for he is new to this position. MIND MY WORDS, it NEW TO THIS POSTITION, not new to this bank. If it is latter, then i can understand. New to this position, coz he rise up the ladder from a lower position to team leader, which means 1 thing, which he should know wat is going on and such rite ? but no, he does not know anything. Which he is deserved to be scolded. U are here in this company for so long, surely u know how is things run here rite ? and there u are protecting your staff and asking mi how to do it ? y dun u give mi your salary and i teach you how to do it ?

Barclays, ABN Amro in talks to create banking giant LONDON : Dutch bank ABN Amro and British banking group Barclays on Monday confirmed they were in "early and exploratory" talks over a possible merger to create the world's fifth-largest bank.
out from the press............( from CNA website )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shares in ABN Amro had soared 9.6 percent earlier on press reports that Barclays wanted to make an offer to buy the Dutch group.
"Barclays PLC confirms that it is in exclusive preliminary discussions with ABN Amro Holding NV concerning a potential combination of the two organisations which will create value for both sets of shareholders," Barclays, the third-biggest British bank, said in a statement.
"These discussions are the result of careful consideration to create a highly complementary partnership. The talks are at an early and exploratory stage and there can be no certainty that they will lead to a transaction."
A takeover by Barclays of ABN Amro would create a group with a market capitalisation of more than US$160 billion (120 billion euros), making it the world's fifth-biggest behind Citigroup, Bank of America, both of the United States, China's ICBC and British rival HSBC.
The combined enterprise would have 47 million clients and employ 220,000 people in 50 countries.
Analysts viewed a tie-up as being positive for ABN Amro which is under pressure from some of its shareholders who want to break it up.
"After recent activist investors pushing ABN to break-up, a merger with a highly respected bank as Barclays may not be something they could refuse," Dresdner Kleinwort analysts James Eden and Ian Gordon said in a research note before the announcement.
The Dutch bank, which has big interests in emerging economies, is facing break-up demands from hedge fund investors The Children's Investment Fund (TCI) and Toscafund, which want management to sell assets separately to make profits for shareholders.
Meanwhile, analysts said that Barclays could also face competition for ABN Amro from other banks, including BNP Paribas or Societe Generale in France, US-based Wachovia and Spain's Banco Santander Central Hispano. They are all thought to be interested in acquiring parts of the ABN Amro empire.
Barclays's stock dropped 0.8 percent to 677 pence on Monday.
"The value of ABN broken up is more than the whole. Royal Bank of Scotland or Wachovia could buy ABN's US and Treasury businesses, while Santander could buy its Brazilian and European retail banking businesses," said Magnus
Mathewson, banks analyst at stockbroker Hitchens Harrison.
A deal between Barclays and ABN Amro was first mooted two years ago but was torpedoed by the chief executive of the Dutch bank, Rijkman Groenink.
Groenink had insisted then that cultural, legislative and governance differences meant that ABN Amro would be the "junior" partner in the deal and would be "absorbed" by Barclays.
The market capitalisation of Barclays is currently 44.3 billion pounds while ABN Amro is 39.1 billion pounds, so the difference in size persists.
Barclays said last month that its net profit surged to a record 4.571 billion pounds last year, while ABN Amro announced a rise in profit of 7.6 percent to 4.78 billion euros for 2006. - AFP/de
