Scorpio Employee Profile
Scorpio employees usually exude a quiet self-confidence. They are self-sufficient and do not depend on others for a sense of self-worth. They keep their private life separate from work and take complete responsibility for their actions and their situation. They don't make excuses; they just take care of business and expect everyone else to do the same. Those who don't, co-workers and managers will have to endure the Scorpio's wrath.
They don't mind being completely vocal about what they feel is wrong with any given situation. And if you tread on their fire be sure to expect retaliation. They won't take insults or opposition lying down.
If you manage a Scorpio employee, be sure to follow through with your word and don't break any promises-Scorpio is keeping track and building up some heavy resentments against you if you do. You may not even be aware of it until too late-but when Scorpio gets too much, you will be sure to know.
Scorpio employees will react towards those around them exactly as they are treated. When they get what they want, they will be very accepting.
If you are trying to work with or motivate a Scorpio co-worker, be sure to treat them respectfully and act professionally. Give them challenging work that allows them to utilise their awesome self-confidence and courage.
How true is this? There are some truths in it, yet it could just be a mere coincidence.
Someone revealed something shocking to me yesterday. I am a rather vocal person in camp and am the sort who does not mince my words. Sometimes, the comments I make are in perfect Brit humour. Dry, sarcastic yet thought-provoking because of a certain level of truth it may contain. It seems that while I have spoken out one-too-many times on certain issues pertaining to the management and people in camp, it therefore only seems logical that every other statements made either in writing or in speech must also be made by me. I ain't a vindictive person and personally, I could not care less about how others manipulate this opportunity to cover their own tracks. Do I then know who are the ones who are riding on my coat tail? Personally, yes. I have a few names in my head. It is actually very evident from their manner of speech and how conniving they are when in speech. Too many slurs in a conversation ain't such a good sign.
So what do I do now? Shut up and keep my comments to myself? That ain't me. Yet, in light of this, I think I will play a different game. Wise up and grow up people. I say things in an objective manner. Don't and never put words into my mouth as you have yet to see my vindictive side.
I will be leaving for Taiwan on Thursday. One month of exercise and hopefully things will go smoothly this time around. I think I will adopt a more relaxed pace and mood for Taiwan this time around. It is not nonchalant that I am proposing but a zest for vibrancy that I seek.
