i'm back

okok i know its been a year or so since the last time i blogged but i didn't have much bad news to report until today that is. So i just got promoted which is a good thing obviously, and my new role involves me working with the newbies in the company to help them settle in and work efficiently with the ppl in Aus. As newbies they need to send their work to a reviewer in Aus. After the reviewer feels that the newbie is ready she will let the newbie go. My role of so i was informed is to help the newbie like a "tuition teacher" and guide him/her to be released as soon as possible, ie to be good as soon as possible. So what i did today was i wrote a "guide" on how to work efficiently with the reviewer and sent it to the newbies hoping it would help give some insight and tips. Sadly the upper management came to know about this and screwed me for sending my opinions and my tips to help their newbies to be better. I mean... what the hell? According to them this is not my job function, I should have sent it to them for approval first, I should have CC-ed all the management in when i send emails to the newbies and that we never discussed this in my interview which we did. So i got all defensive and exchanged some very sarcastic emails with them. If you had set a meeting up earlier and gave us our job description in detail like you were suppose to do this wouldn't have happened. Now you are blaming me for doing what i perceived to be my job??? Not forgetting that you gave me a totally new book to do in one month, and i'll say it again ONE MONTH, without assigning my updates to anyone and when i requested for help you were no where to be found because you were on leave for one whole week and when you did come back you took 3 whole days to finally tell someone to tell me that there is no one to help and you're on your own! Do you know how many OT i've put in in the last 2 weeks??? Do you know that i had to come in on Sundays to work on your book?? Do you know that i have another book just 6 days after this book clears??? Do you know that after that book clears i have another book to do? Do you think i am superman??? sigh... these days ppl in the office have been quitting because they needed a break. Yes you have to quit if you need to take a break because the work never stops. I'm seriusly considering taking a break and do a masters. I mean if you're gonna screw me left and right why the hell am i breaking my back for you?

What have we learned from the above? Management always wins. thats the sad truth.
