3 Kinds of Magaling
I had an interesting but funny discussion with my 2 bosses this morning. We were talking about this girl who is magaling but.... This light conversation lead us to conclude that there are 3 types of magaling (good / excellent workers), which are:
1 - Magaling and Quiet - this type works excellently but doesn't have an ego. this person lets his work speak for itself. he doesn't necessarily need to promote himself because people notice the quality of his output.
2 - Magaling but Noisy - this type is also an excellent worker but puts other people down or feels that he is the only magaling. this shows in the way he talks to other people. what's good about this type of people is that they are predictable. what you see is what you get. you know their character so you know what to expect. like you wouldn't expect him to say nice things about you or your work so you would prepare yourself to receive criticism from him or to avoid him entirely.
3 - Magaling but with a hidden agenda - this is the most dangerous type. they are excellent workers and are nice to everybody. they are noisy - talks about their accomplishments; and sweet to everybody but when you're not with them you don't know what they are saying to other people, specially the bosses.
I think these types of magalings are among us and in any other organization. They make our lives more interesting and challenging. Sometimes or most of the time you don't want to deal with they type 2s and 3s but you can't always avoid them. You've got to learn to live and work with these kind. Or maybe you are one of these...
So which type of magaling are you?
