I love the position as a designer and making 3d at the same time,but not so sure about the possible politics which can get very serious in the campus environment according to one of my colleagues who have been working there for 6 years.
The word politics is so broad and very confusing. I think it can maybe sum up into one sentence in the university environment: human behavior which involved harvesting the maximum benefit with the minimum effort which usually at the end all come to" money". Identifying which monkey group to relate to will be essensial to " survival" which is crucial to mental well being.
I want to point and laugh. Laugh so loud that I will pee my pants.
People are suffering and dieing, the earth is crying due to us, romance are waiting to begin but!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are too busy dealing with politics. Politics will be all bull shit unless it is for a purpose which will achieve a higher purpose and make this world a better place.
I really have no patience to these kind of stuff.
There was this lady who were visiting from another smaller IS department for UBC. My manager introduced her to me in the office. After I said hi nice to meet you. I thrown in a sentence: " can I help you with anything? "
My colleague who worked there more than 6 year overheard that sentence. In the afternoon she gave me a very serious talk: you have to be very careful, there are a lot of politics around here, you shouldn't say: can I help you? here. because she is not from our learning centre, if you said that to her, she might actully gave you lot of work to do or ask you lots of questions..... and that office can be extremely demanding. so just don't ever say " can I help you? ".
How should I look at this?
