Restless

This year really start with a big splash. First our company announce the mission and vision. Next they tell you they are disloving. Frankly this a real shock. It's like you are pregnant, the ultra sound predicts a boy and at end of 9 months and 8 hours of labour, the doctor announced you delivered an egg.

Mind numbing shock! This more shocking than hearing about Edison Chan's scandal all over the internet. Just when you thought you will have a smooth sailing year ahead, BOOM the management tells you on Valentine's Day, they are changing the management. Ok lar, pity the exco and the existing management that is gonna be kick out soon but pitier for us that put in all the hard work in building the organization to what it is now. One of my staff said this is the biggest industrial joke in the history of mankind, and I agree with her secretly. The thing is, when you are the boss, you can't agree openly. Suck being a boss.

When you think you have just about grasp everything, they told me my boss is pulled back to another business stream. They take away the best boss I ever had in my life in this company. Maybe , I am just tired of being all on my own for so long and under him is like a dream come true. Being on your own is good in the sense, you either learn to do it fast or you sink. But when you had some one you know you can depend on to look out for you, there is a sense of security in the execution. Although I am no longer a team lead and had to report to him, I don't feel like I am alone fighting. Without realizing it, I have gotten used to having a buoy in my sea. Its comforting and unfortunately good things never last. Can't they see we need him more?

On the plus side, I acquire a boss that look like Tom Cruise. He came and told me, " We have lost your boss to another business stream and I need you to be strong for the team. Be strong for us ... ". I want to kick, yell, shout and throw tantrum at the unfairness but I all I said was " Yes, dad... I will try..". Damn hard to say no to a handsome face. Shit...
