I think I can try to make this into intelligent conversation...
Brown nosing, sucking up; whatever you want to call it...Is it really all that bad? If you were to see someone 'Sucking Up', do you think they have purely selfish reasons? Trying to have a good laugh? Or do you think they may just be genuinely nice?
If you were to follow me around to work and school, you may call me a suck up. Do I think I'm a suck up? No. I think of myself as genuinely nice. I don't have any selfish reasons for my 'sucking up'. Even though it may get me good things, according to someone who is just watching, it doesn't mean that I did something solely for that reason.
Sure, I may do a lot of stuff in an attempt to 'suck up' at work, but I really just truly get bored at work. What has this 'sucking up' earned me? I freaking promotion to Supervisor at the age of 17. I get to tell people older than me what to freaking do. It's weird, but I'll get used to it. Nobody else will, though. Some people have been there longer than I have. I started out in Snack Bar a year ago June, moved up to Front Desk in January, and now I'm a supervisor in October. Being nice gets you places.
Everyone is pissed off at me though, just because I'm younger, and I have only been working there for about a year and a half total.
I'm not a suck up. I'm just nice. It's impossible for me to be otherwise.
Do you consider yourself a suck up, or just nice? Have any stories, perhaps? I'm a little curious. The world thinks that every 'act of kindness' or 'hardwork' has some form of selfish reason behind it...Newsflash; it doesn't always have to.
