Been a while since i rant about work. And today i need an avenue to rant and i can't find any other place to rant.
Anyway I have been tagged with this planner of mine for the past almost 2 years. Well firstly when under the first boss he was the pet, hence he kind of got promoted very quickly even though his skills are lacking. I personally feel he is not equipped yet to deal with a planner role yet. Of coz final promotion decision did not lie with me. Hence he was promoted despite my better reservations.
I mean he is not a BAD worker to be honest. He is good natured at heart and genuinely tries to do his work to the best he can. However in June he suddenly request for sabbatical break of 2 months. Citing he needs to find his work mojo back, & that he needed to find back himself. So he made his point to the management and again it was decided that he will be given that much needed break of 2 months.
Again not about being a bitch but seriously after 2 years of working he is telling me he needs farking sabbatical. That is BS. Truly. I mean i have been working for almost a decade and i had never taken a friggin sabbatical before. Does that mean that i am a workaholic or have no other aspirations? I don't get kids nowadays. I really don't.
The worst thing is now that he is back from his 2 months break, i expected a fresher person but he seems more chui than before. And i hate that. I mean come on you have friggin 2 months to do nothing, jolly well get your farking act together and work. I told him being a planner means he is more senior and that he needs to carry his weight and able to anticipate things. But he is telling me he is used to taking instructions, i was like then you might as well be an executive. Arrggghhh.
Sometimes i talk to him it seems that whatever i say is not registering in his head and it disturbs me. He always just give me a friggin blank look which i hate. I really do. I mean whatsup with this boy. V told me i have to be soft and more encouraging to him. Like say more words of praise rather than reprimanding him. I am like but he had not done stuff that is deserving my praise. Isn't fake praise worst?!? V said basically just change my tone of voice. -_- geeez
Gosh it is really irking me and i don't know what to do. Maybe i should change him off. Get the executive and leave this planner over to Adtitya. Let him & myself have a fair share of change of environment, so he can feel more confident about himself. Will bring it up to mr Orhpeh on Monday when i see him.
Guess thats all i can do for now.
K thats all for today. Sign off....
