Defining Subversion, Superior-Employee Talks & Bitter Herbs

Papa Bear says, my blog is subversive.  So I tried to find out if it's true. 

From Answers.Com., I found these definitions.

sub·ver·sion (səb-vûr'zhən, -shən)
n.   

1. 1. The act or an instance of subverting.
   2. The condition of being subverted.
2. Obsolete. A cause of overthrow or ruin.

[Middle English subversioun, from Old French subversion, from Late Latin subversiō, subversiōn-, from Latin subversus, past participle of subvertere, to subvert]

Hmm.. not clear enough. So i checked what Subvert means:

sub·vert (səb-vûrt')
tr.v., -vert·ed, -vert·ing, -verts.

1. To destroy completely; ruin: “schemes to subvert the liberties of a great community” (Alexander Hamilton).
2. To undermine the character, morals, or allegiance of; corrupt.
3. To overthrow completely: “Economic assistance … must subvert the existing … feudal or tribal order” (Henry A. Kissinger). See Overthrow..

[Middle English subverten, from Old French subvertir, from Latin subvertere : sub-, sub- + vertere, to turn.]

sub·vert'er n. 

Hmm.. Okay. That's better. If my blog is promotes subversion, then I must be subversive as well, as my writings?

sub·ver·sive (səb-vûr'sĭv, -zĭv)
adj.
Intended or serving to subvert, especially intended to overthrow or undermine an established government: “Sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities” (Erica Jong).

n.
One who advocates or is regarded as advocating subversion.

sub·ver'sive·ly adv.
sub·ver'sive·ness n.

Okay. am I really to dignify what I write down here to such a statement? Heck, i dun't have anything to retaliate about actually. Anyone can call me anything they want. Do u think I'll get fired for writing these down?

I have no due cause to "ruin" the company, or the work. I love my work. I see nothing subversive in my writing what my views are from my stand. As I've noted, Caveat Lector. Anything inside this domain is my own rant.  (hmm.. why do i keep saying rant?). I dun't see any reason, why this is subversive. Really..

Do u?

Or maybe I should stop writing about what I see, what I hear.

Do u think an employee should be honest enough to his/her superiors and inform superior of his/her plans of looking for better opportunities, better pay work?

I'm just thinking out of the box. As i've always been thinking and doing this out of the box thing.Would it benefit me if i told my manager that I'm looking for employment else where? I asked this question to my manager then. Coz at that time, i got a call from Dream company. So I asked him if it's wrong to tell him as a manager what i was going thru.

I can't really remember the whole conversation as it was kinda long ago.  But he told me that it isn't normally done. Considering the fact that the superior has the hold on the person's career work at work, then if I get the job, lucky me. If i don't, they would not have me considered in the other projects as well since they believe, i'm not interested to work here. Hmm. Sounds logical, and acceptable. Except for one thing.

I've always believed in open communication, truth and honesty.  My very life is a perfect example of how much truth I've pour out and up to what extent I was prepared to accept for the consequences of truth. In this case, telling my superior my life plans is actually for me, a positive point as that I have that much confident with to my superior for his advise, his guidance. Hell, why would an employee seek out greener pastures if the field he/she's currently on isn't worth living on? Back on what Mr. G2 said on an earlier post,

"it's just a fact of life… good people leave and companies have to deal with it..im either more cynical or more realistic than when i first started working, but companies dont show loyalty to you, so why show loyalty to a company?"

he's really wise. I'm gonna call him gandalf from now on. Gandalf the Wise.

Life is pretty much what we make it. It's funny how bitter herbs can make people better, whereas bitter people make life worse.
