Childish senior manager

This entry should originally appear on 26th Oct 2007.

All these while, the only way of working that I know of, is to work hard. Certain people would say that I work too hard, and work too foolishly hard.

While it may not be beneficial to me, but I am sure working hard is never bad for a company.

Unfortunately, my senior manager is a person whom strike off one's credit as though it doesnt matter. We have a glass whiteboard on the wall in front of the design team, and on it, each designer's assigned account is written on it as a way to keep track of everyone's job responsibilities.

That day, after a long meeting, I reached back in the office worn out and relieved that I'd move yet another step ahead in the project. But at that very point, he erased my name off the list, together with all the projects that I was handling.

That was a very small action, but I was totally irritated. It was irrational, yet I couldnt help but to feel upset.

What was it that I had done to deserve that? I could have just begin to slack on my the moment I resigned, and just wait for days to pass. I worked hard for the company in hope that I can tie up as many loose ends as possible, and what happen in the end?

Sigh. Forget it. I had already left the company, and I wont need to face this person anymore. Actually my big boss told me that if I want to return to the company after my freelance job, I am very welcomed. He promised he will deal with the senior manager problem and I wont suffer like how I used to.

How come the boss is such a nice person when the senior manager sucks like mad? No, I cant keep dwelling on it. Let's move on.
