How far would you go to get what you want?
 
Im just curious how far some of you would go to get something you really wanted.

I was at work the other day and im currently training to be a supervisor at work. I cant become a full time supervisor until one of the supervisors leaves.

A lot of ppl at my work are pretty ruthless when it comes to getting things they want so i kinda have to do the same thing.

So i was standing at the top of the stairway with this really mean manager having a chat and she was yapping away. and i just randomly thought to myself 'If you fell down these stairs i could have your job' lol i didn’t think it harshly more comically.

I would never hurt someone to get in front. some ppl might though. i have like stirred up trouble before to get in front but never really seriously.

So what would you do. or how far would you go to get something you really wanted? Or have u acutally done somthing bad to get in front?

Pretty much anything... lmao.

30stone 03-12-2008 01:50 PM

Do pretty much anything, though more likely to work harder and put in more hours to get someones job than push them down a stair case.
Id be happy do get someone fired if it made me look better and could possibly help me getting further in a career.

Thinking outside the box i dont think id have the bottle to do somthing like push someone down some stairs as id worry about who would find out. Happily Threaten People though.

Would you be happy to frame another member of staff for something they had not done?

pinkmichk 03-12-2008 01:55 PM

i dont think i would go very far if any at all cos not that type of person i am a believer that things happen for a reason so if something like career advancement etc came my way then it was obviously meant to be

It would depend on how i would benefit from it, if it got me a management position because me and someone else were going for the same job and they got fired, id be happy to be to one to get them fired. And yeh it sounds really harsh but i want to have extra money to save for like having a family or buying a house. and to help my mum out (=

Personally I could not live with the guilt. I would rather obtain something by my own merits and not by disadvantaging someone else for personal gain.

At some point in my life i want to buy my own house and my mum a new house so any way i can get the most money possible is good enough really.

I really do hope these kids are havin a laugh:conf2:

Ross 03-12-2008 02:06 PM

I'd never hurt someone to that extreme to get what I want.
Atleast if I do something sexual with my manager then I'm not hurting anyone, we both enjoyed it at the end of the day.

Well i was continuing my first post of thinking outside the box, in reality, to get further and being honest id probably only try and work harder and work longer and put best effort into my work, framing someone really i wouldnt do lol, but if someone had done somthing wrong i would tell my manager or whatever

We all want that but there is something self satisfying about making your own way in life and doing things off your own back. If you tread on people along the way for your own gain then you won't be a very happy person.

I agree with that, if you are willing to work harder than other people who are like lazy or dont care. And put in extra hours and that it will get you some where just from having the enthusiasm

Fair enough. well it worked out for you. but iv been in my job for 2 years now. and only now am i starting to get somwhere. not because i worked hard but because i was the only one who applied for the supervisory role.

well 2 years is just to long with me. seeing as i started to job with a handful of managerial qualifications and started at the very bottom.

and all the women have to do where i work is batt their eyelids and there a supervisor. so i was like sod it.

and this other girl who was a school leaver started working there....went straight to a supervisor just because my manager was friends with her mum. how is that fair.

Annie 03-12-2008 04:51 PM

I have done things I regret to get something I wanted. For example. I really wanted this guy but he was in a relationship so I got my male mate to chat her up and then she got really flirty back etc so I showed the guy I liked all the texts and said she wasnt worth it so I could get with him.

Also out of spite for a girl - I went out my way to sleep with her boyfriend just cos I knew that would hurt her and she would regret what she did to me. So I got my own way on that (revenge)

I dont believe in knocking your friends for a promotion etc. A lot of my "friends" did that at work to get further up the promotional ladder and they lost their friends. I wouldnt do anything to get a job. Careers aint that important to me so I certainly wouldnt push someone down the stairs for one.

Scarlett. 03-12-2008 04:51 PM

The furthest I would go to get what I want is possibly....bribe someone xD or get in their good books, best way to climb the ladder in life

*mazedsalv** 03-12-2008 04:51 PM

Omg thinking about it, I probably would not go far at all.

Edit- However, i didnt want to go to school one day 2 years ago, so I attempted to injure myself anyway possible to stay home, one of them was tripping on the stairs so i couldnt walk properly, I tried it, I didnt get hurt and still had to go to school the next day. What a twat I was being, trying to injure myself for a day off school.... pathetic lol

Tom4784 03-12-2008 04:53 PM

Spike...just no, that's WAY too far. It's sickening.

As for me I generally get what I want so I don't need to do anything. I'm spoilt.
