Resignation, Shifting Gears and the "Article:P63,525"
September 13, 2008Of my resignation…
Finally, after contemplating on this for more than a year, I finally filed in my resignation. If the thinking process was hard, the implementation part was way way harder. But as what I have been telling my friends for the past two weeks, I have never been so sure of whether I made the right decision or not until I talked to my boss, and he BOSSED me up big time! I’m blogging about the conversation I had with this BS Boss of mine (but not for long) with the slightest emotions driving me. Because honestly, I never took any of his words to heart as what I was seeing at that time was a beast more than a person. Through this post, I just want to document all the unimaginable things he said to me that I surprisingly able to laugh at with my colleagues the moment I stepped out of his hell, er, office.
BACKGROUND: BS Boss is the perfect example of those terror bosses we thought we could only see in TV… He yells, he gets red, he calls people by names, saw him threw a project folder to a manager twice, he plays favorite, he wants to micromanage, he always have the last say on EVERYTHING even as simple as font size or font color, he is judgemental, he goes personal on people most of the time, he is definitely far from being loyal to the absent, he says the nastiest things to those who are not around… Objectively speaking, he is good, he has lots of brilliant ideas. Most of the time, his directions are right. But he has the worst manner of relaying that to his people. He gives vague stand on issues and expects everyone to be able to read his mind and do what he imagines them to do without clarity in his self-drawn objectives. He says one thing now and a totally contradicting statement the next day, and he’ll point the blame on people whom he expects will be able to read his mood swings.
—gosh! can’t believe I was not able to finish this post. Too bad, I can no longer remember what I was supposed to write on this… tsk tsk..
