the power of power
Blood boiled beyond boiling point at office today!
Since morning, I was very much buried in checking overnight structured bookings. I hardly had time to breathe. But who could understand?
Nobody, really. What made me felt worse was a bunch of inconsiderate high-level people in the team! As usual, we were supposed to stagger our lunch timings.
There were three of us (including myself) in this. Team mate A and B wanted to go for lunch earlier. Okay, so I opted to go for 1pm lunch. Team mate A (who just got promoted to manager) left her desk for lunch before 12pm while B left 20 mins after 12pm. Anybody would expect A to come back before 1pm yeah? No, she did not.
She did not , not even after B returned from his lunch. I was so hungry and yes, ANGRY.
Why on earth would a MANAGER be so inconsiderate to her team mates?
Sometime later after lunch, I found out that she went out with my VP (the used-to-be my psychotic manager) to get ice cream for everybody including those people in the FO. That explained why she took so long for lunch. Now, what's the big deal about getting promoted?
Why do such people have to go all the way to tell everyone about their promotion?
I don't understand. In any way, I wasn't really too interested in the ice cream when they offered. I turned it down with the excuse that my throat was sore.
I am just disappointed with the way people change for the worse so quickly.
They made me realise that it is only enough to care for myself at work.
