finally, my much awaited promotion is now coming to a reality. My boss called me to his office this morning and informed me that he is entrusting me the management of a small department in our office… I am so happy that I am being given greater responsibilities, but another part of me is scared…maybe because I am expecting too much from myself and that if someone from the team I’m going to handle will not succeed, i’ll blame myself for it… i know I have been such a bitch and a pain in alot of my officemates’ ass but it has always been my way of pushing them not to settle for mediocre. Tomorrow, my boss will announce my promotion and I have to prepare myself… becuase I know alot of people in the office doesn’t like me… This is what’s been plaguing a company where workforce is composed of old people… they do not welcome or allow new breed of talents to go up the ladder because they still stick to the rules on “seniority”. They settle for mediocrity… what’s important to them is the security of their tenure, the benfits they are recieving and are so not committed to giving back to the company. Don’t get me wrong, i am not pro management, infact I have always been at the forefront of the battle for strict implementation of the labor laws (which has always been violated).But what saddens me is how newbies (neophytes, new breeds, young professionals) are being treated in this kind of organization. People in this kind of organization look down on new graduates, they do not give new breeds of talents (I always call myself a new breed of talent)the chance to utilize their outmost potential becuase old employees think that these people are not as good as them.. How many “new breeds” have I seen in this company, who for what i think has the potential of making it big if just given the right opportunities, left the company because they felt they do not belong… How many times have I been put down in this company? How many people have bullied me and have made me feel like stupid? How many times have I been left out of parties? How many times these old people made my work life so miserable by giving me too much task/ job? I can no longer remember how many times…. perhaps a hundred or a thousand… but one thing is for sure, I never allowed them to succeed!! i never faltered and gave in to what they want… I was strong enough to make their working life miserable by being mean and bitchy to them… Yes, I have been bitching around the office… I have been mean to them…very mean. And since they hate me… they feel i am their greatest competition… they compete with me. Competing with me means they have to beat high performance, which they did. I’m happy they competed with me because service level increased and productivity increased. I may be a bitch… but I’m one hell of a good bitch!!!
