年底有很多頒獎典禮，如果攪一個最XXX老細，你又會想到你老細是最乜乜乜呢? 最麻煩老細：有一種老細我形容為最麻煩的老細，明知你已經忙到拆天，還要執著一些格式、無傷大雅的細節上，著眼於細微細眼的小錯處，對於一些大方向的問題他卻擱在一邊不予處理，未能解同事燃眉之急之餘卻加重工作負擔。 最假民主老細：有些老細表面上很開明，樣樣都先問過同事意見，實質上是自己沒料到，只能靠同事的貢獻，最後有功勞就全部攬上身。另一種是每事都問過大家，說什麼集體意志決定，到頭來意見接受，態度照舊，其實本身已有想法定案，卻浪費大家要講出意見，是最典型的假民主。 最無理老細：由朝到晚叫人格價，然後要供應商服務全包、做到最好，但價錢就叫人平平平，人做生意你做生意，你就要賺到盡，別人的就不是生意。 最大細超老細：做管理層最忌大細超，因為真心影響士氣和團結性。這些老細對著心腹就什麼都可以、批准，但對其他人就諸多制肘、事事箝制；跟心腹就細聲講大聲笑，對其他人就長期黑臉。 最小家老細：講起年尾，很多公司都有各式各樣的飯局，自不然會跟老細坐埋一枱吃一餐，做細的自不然覺得是公司/老細請客，我見過我真係見過，有老細厚臉皮到一個點，他埋單找數接受了大家謝意之後，回到公司膽敢叫秘書向同事收集飯錢，連零頭都不放過。跟著這種小家老細，明年人工、花紅也不要有什麼奢求遐想。

每逢新年大家可能都好怕親戚問「幾時帶男/女朋友比我地見下？」「幾時結婚呀？」「幾時生仔呀？」等令人尷尬既問題，不過我就無咁既煩惱，點解？因為大部份每年見一次既親戚都會問：「亞飛，仲係唔係做緊呢份工呀？下，又轉左啦？」 投身社會十二年，轉左十一份工，除左親戚朋友外，有試過連日見夜見既亞媽都會唔知我做緊乜。 「亞飛，近排夜左返屋企食飯既？」「亞媽，轉左工。」「下，轉左工三個月咋喎，又轉？」唏，就係趁未過試用期就逃離地獄嘛。 對於不斷轉工，有人關心我，有人笑我，有人不斷講道理去感化我；亞媽亞爸覺得我仲係貪玩唔定性，咁轉工法邊可能有成就；另一半又會無安全感，點同你計劃將來？但呢十二年間，我越轉越高職位，大家又覺得不可思議。 其實，custom made CV 同 cover letter好辛苦架，interview比人問到口啞啞又好過癮咩…我都唔想不斷轉工同轉行，真係好攰… 但點解又要轉工？ 頭一兩年人工低，屋企又咁辛苦供書教學，真係好難家用比少少，講理想講career path。 之後，工作環境亦令人好頭痛，我試過自己住柴灣公司搬左去荃灣；同事話我二五仔；又試過老細無情白事日日粗口問候你。 到環境稱心人工滿意，準備全力以赴既時候，竟然比我知道，原來公司既架構係無位再升你職之餘，你對上既老細應該一世都唔會走…
