Never Say Die!
Guess some of you most be wondering how am doing in my new job.
The job turns out to be something i am not comfortable with. As much as i am learning the management skills, a part of me feel deprived from the technical aspect of my product. I have been doing clerical work for the whole entire mth. I have been sending out meeting notice.. preparing meeting minutes.. doing weekly report and i think i have had enough of it. I feel like a clerk more than anything else. So i gather all my courage, and i decided to have a short discussion with my manager.
When I voiced out to him about my desire in wanting to have the technical exposure. He totally turned ugly. I said it in the most respectful and the most professinal way. To cut the long story short, he was narrow minded and he forced me to quit. He even went to the extreme of threatening me saying that he can dismiss me at anytime by using any reason, since now that i am on probation period. Also, he said that he will not agree on my confirmation. Not only that, he will add pressure on me on the day of confirmation. He warned me not to be surprised if I find him making things difficult for me. All these sounded nothing threatening but crude and ugly to me.
Whatever. I'm not hard up for this job.
I just feel unjustified for being forced to leave without any solid reasons. I came into this company full of dreams and aspiration wanting to do well and excel. I've always believe work can release our potential. Before i can even pour my heart and soul into my work, I have to leave. Not because of low performance or whatsoever. But its all because of his narrow mindset.
So now i'm back to the whole cycle of interviews and sending out resumes.
I dont want to work under a stupid manger who doesnt know anything except collecting status.
He doesnt need an engineer. He needs a clerk.
