Fashion Designer Boyet Fajardo Scandal?

Who is he? Well, not anybody knows all fashion designers no matter how popular they are. Also, one’s fame does not give him permission to bypass standard operating procedures… It does not also give one a license to berate others.

I still wonder who would bring an unsigned credit card and passport unless those are just newly delivered and you suddenly got into an emergency situation.
I also wonder how his supporters can justify his action and say it was a “creative outburst” because he’s an artist, a fashion designer. What a lame excuse! It’s ridiculous!
You think an online boycott campaign of his RTW clothes would be a good way to teach him a lesson? You be the judge. Check out this video: www.abs-cbnnews.com/video/lifestyle/03/23/09/duty-free-union-bares-abusive-pinoy-fashion-designer

Do you hate your boss?

Is it some kind of psychological about this thing between a boss and a subordinate? Sometimes, I would think yes. Does it become automatic that you hate your boss because he/she gives you a hard time and a lot of work to do while he/she does nothing but signs papers & documents or forwards your work to his/her big boss, deleting your email signature so that he/she gets the credit? Or is it normal that when someone becomes a boss, he/she turns into a monster and makes it hard for everyone so that he/she becomes popular. Pride sets in (puffed up) due to authority and power he/she is now holding - some kind of power tripping. Or is this just a cultural issue?

Why is it that in many organizations, government or private, the difficult and "notorious" bosses are the ones who are gaining popularity and become in-demand and sought-after by the hiring departments. Have anybody thought about this? I’m sure many people will agree that a power-hungry, terror, moody and tactless boss would really, really ruin your day!!!

Where are the good bosses? Why do they easily give up and leave? Is it because they can’t fight for their own right or they are overpowered by the monsters?
Aside from issues in a workplace such as politics, just like in show business (or even in blogging or in schools); if you want to be popular, you have to be controversial or notorious. Blame everyone, be a “terror teacher or boss”, be difficult, give everyone a hard time, be tactless and you’re in – you become very, very popular! Well, Congratulations! ...
