How to deal with 笑里藏刀 colleague, especially senior ones?

[PenAndPaper]

When I talked to him about a matter he needs urgently but due to incomplete information given by his team, the timeline is not acceptable. He was very approachable and friendly. He didn't complain and said he understood that it is his team's negligence for failure to provide adequate information. Then subsequently, I get a feedback from my superior that he said I am not a team player. (???)

Hell!

I feel like kicking his balls and watch him writhing in pain! Fxxk!

Confront him in front of the rest and tell him off straight in the face.

Alot of back stabbers in the workplace.

I wish I could... He's like the elite guy with CE backing. Even my superior of equal rank to him is afraid of offending him. Such is life. I need to find another job soon...

Yes, so usually I avoid lunch or outings with colleagues.

No choice. Many kept quiet and suffer in silence.
Tolerate.忍

That’s why all the clever finance managers don’t want to do such jobs lah. If not got good travelling and bonus why nobody want to do? Hardship and full of dirty office politics job with no good job prospects lah.

are there other ways to sextract more info from his team to help complete the request without escalating matter to him? why must it be an escalation to the team’s manager when there’s incomplete info? can’t you work with the team who’s assigned to assist you? if i’m the supervisor i’m using that opportunity to assess your leadership, initiative, and teamwork capability too. my best employees are those who work with scant info and clueless teammates to arrive at solutions and alternatives with little to zero escalation to management, and yet they still meet timelines. i suppose this is one of the differences between sillycon valley and sinkie work cultures.

SG culture here is machiam like China Comm style Top Down approach...here our big shot sirs value Abolute Obeience and Excuse Brain...that is why they keep emphasizing on 奴家思想

This is also the very reason why we fail to keep up in innovations Vs other Asian peers.

have you ever wondered that sometimes the problem is not “them” but “you”?

Sinkie companies work on "Don't challenge authority" mantra.
