I think that some of my colleagues have a good image of me, this not being the case of other ones. Be that as it may, I am more concerned with the type of person I am than what others think of me.
We are seldom, if ever, judged by the same criteria by different people. Therefore its is impossible to be universally well regarded, especially in a large organisation.
So the answer is: some do and some don't, but all for different reasons and in different ways.
Given that I have yet to find either love letter on my desk or a dead crow on my car I have to assume I'm doing well enough but not too well.
It is quite easy to guess that my colleagues have a good opinion of me through the discussions we have. If there is a mutual respect and admiration, also when there are agreements over various topics, when there are no disputes , all these views will give you a picture that they have positive opinions about you.
Whether my colleagues or friends I do not wish to extend my hand for opinion .I keep only a friendly gesture with every one who come in contact .Personally I keep a faith in myself & I believe in the theory of cooperation & in case if it is otherwise my life , I take recourse to the theory of karma where I remain to keep silents in spite of this if any one takes for negative end , I concern this as his karma for which I will prefer to keep silent
When I said no, I thought so! And among us scientists, there is envy, jealousy and sujet ... There is a saying: "No one has become a prophet in his own village!" I apologize, my English is a Google translator!
It is from the Bible actually. If everybody is happy with you, you are people pleasant and you better sale ice-cream than be a scientist. People don't like it even when you stand out in your high school class let alone as a researcher. When you go your own way, thousands call you crazy or idiot...it is only time that always answer who is really what.
If I may ask, why is people don't have a good feeling about people who have better success and performance than them? Are they doing it instinctively or deliberately?
Is it important to get everyone happy at the cost of the professional compromise. NO, I guess, no desirable to me, & comprises the job at hand. There are ALWAYS differences of opinion & exchange of words which may not look decent but still I feel the job should supersede many other aspects of professional living.
In hospital setting its never my priority to keep my colleagues happy, but to ensure the system works in the best possible way to serve patients. In doing that not many may not like u.
While Churchil was never my hero but still take some of his words
Provocative question. Any answer threatens criticism.
Personally, I think first of all you need to strive for top-class results. Of course the relationship with co-workers is also important but is not in the first place.
The opinion of others does not means the final judgment on my personality but it is important to know who I am from the point of view of others to keep the suitabile behavior through the surrounding environment
Version For Ladies: absolutely all, without exception, my colleagues love me so much that often there is no time left for any scientific work. They (regardless of gender) all the time treat me sweets, detailed stories about their family life and plans for our future trips.
I think they have respect because I do my job the best I can, I am not the part of any "clan" in my organization, I do not spread rumors about others, my results are very good.
My cousin told me once how is best to behave on the job: "what you saw - you did not see, what you heard - you did not hear, and do not have nothing private on the job" - and I stick on that!
They are my colleague because of my professional /office work ,if i am working as per the requirement of office work, everybody should work and should not bother the second one. further on personal ground i should be trustworthy to myself.
if these two condition are fulfilled, then i think everybody in and out side the office will have good opinion about me.
I think you treat your colleagues as you want them to treat you ... I also know that I am not perfect, so there may be other words you use to describe my behavior when I'm very tired.
In many cases you are only as good as your last project, but having a pleasant disposition, caring manner and good work ethic helps to soften the blow when things go wrong.
