Current project's [ HL ] getting toxic...we're onto our last shooting days and people are getting edgy. See, problems deferred are problems still. Issues are getting bigger and as one colleague put it "we're exploding in on ourselves".
This was the case the last time we were on set. Now after a few days and a series of meetings that brought no concrete resolutions and a lot of patching up, everything seems to be fine. Seems being the operational term. Key people have talked things out but issues were left brewing beneath the surface. Team A thinks Team B's just too sensitive, making problems out of nothing. Team B thinks Team A is all about the jokes/intimidations and low on the values. Professionalism questioned on both camps.
Another colleague told me that if you'll bring up a problem but no resolution, don't bring it up at all...but not saying it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, right? In the context of Production, it's typical that the curtain call cancels prior problems...but personal rifts can't be drowned by applause, depending on the persons involved. (It's definitive to point out that in this case, Team A and B are friends. )
I don't know if creative tension's a misnomer in this situation. Does professionalism mean such dermal pique be disregarded so long as the job gets done? Or does it dictate that problems be addressed so work done are done right, with no casualties on relationships and character or (if that was too mushy) at least the organization of the group?
"Friendly-friendly tayo pero chaka ang ending" o "Ganda nga ng ending galit-galit naman lahat".
I know this is an end VS means question, but where does professionalism lie?
Or like almost everything else in my eyes, is it again, subjective?
Just wanted to wave the question out.
