Growth at Workplace...

The title does not reflect 100% of what is written here..
Everyone who works in big organizations normally have a little of vetti(time pass) time in which they observe and reflect on their colleagues behaviors.. Following the same path, I did observe same in my own vetti time and now reflecting on it.. I thought it was definitely worth the share..
Disclaimer : The writer was in the train while penning this down and hence everything is random..  Any resemblances to the characters at workplace is purely true though not intentionally pointed at..
There are on a base level 4 types of ways people try to grow.. To be more precise 4 types characters that people display to grow
1. People who really work smart and hard
2. People who crib and grumble their way up
3. People who stick to power centres like leeches
4. People who display high power.
Normally, we have a tendency to blame such characteristics only on women at workplace, but this is true to both genders..a
Nothing much about the people belonging to category 1. Moving to the Crib Category.. These people always go on and on.. They talk about family issues, work pressures(that might not exist), their health issues, in cycle. They always have excuses that make u pity for them.. Creating so much pity around mostly makes the managers think "This person is doing so much(thats how it seems) despite his/her problems". Though I agree its a lot in women to do this, men do it so subtlely too..
Category 3.. You really need to keep urself away from these people, if you want a peaceful worklife. These people do anything to get attention from power centres(which might include bringing prasadam from temples to always saying yes to everything told in all meetings). The stick on to the power centres so much that at times you wonder there is something between them ;-).. Also these people, will not any Category 1 even come into 1km radius of this power centre !!! These people in general terms are "Jalras" Hence obviously they get to grow !!
Category 4.. These people might or might not be power centre but their display of power makes others intimidated. The fear that person creates will make him grow the ladder very easily.. Jus that, these people need not necessarily be what they look. They will be highly insecure of the category 1 and will use their power to put them down !!
May be after reading this, u might classify people at your workplace too !! These are all random thoughts and excerpts of such discussions I have at work with a friend..
Until the next random thought occurs wishing you an awesome work life and beware of category 3 again guys !!
Cheers
