A new standpoint
Tuesday, February 14, 2006
Dispirited...That's the best word to illustrate my approach at work. Many of times, I feel so disappointed with the management. They came up with several changes that were implemented to ensure of procedures that would take up less hassle. However, these changes only seem to provide more problems due to the ineptitude of the management. I honestly feel so frustrated spending tons of time explaining to aggravated parents, who either loves to scream across the earpiece or just have the bad habit of slamming the phone on purpose, on matters that can be resolved if only the management had been more competent. Moreover, I dislike their tendency to throw a heavy load of work onto one without even giving specific instructions. I even had to call the boss several times to clarify, but there are still doubts present even after all the clarifications. The issue that provoked me the most was the fact that the extra load of work which I was forced to do wasn't even supposed to be my job in the first place. The staff in the main office should be responsible instead. I hate it that they take advantage of me just because I'm weak-minded in refusing. It has come to a point where I wish I can just leave this job immediately. However after much consideration, I'm still staying on. I realized that the predicament becomes less problematic once you take a different outlook. One of my colleague said to me, "You just do according to how much they pay you." That advice was like an antidote. It makes perfect sense. Why should I bother myself with so many problems if the amount of money that I earned is not even worth the efforts that I put in? My new philosophy of work: heck - care!
