Well, I don't know if anyone noticed..
But I've been trying not to blog about the negative stuff at work.
The reason for this entry, is not to complain but simply to remind myself that I should not try to give up too early.
To be serious, I actually do not have big hopes that my job / career with my company now will develop into something substantial in future.
First and foremost, the conversion which I was being told by my big boss that he is doing something about it since June 08 has yet to be materialized.
There was only one reassurance from him Sep 08 that I have to trust him that he'll convert me once there's an opportunity.
Colleagues have been telling me: "You have to push for it, go and ask xxx."
Whatever it is, I know my big boss is responsible and I trust that he's doing whatever he can to convert me at the earliest.
Asking for headcount has always been a taboo and with the damn economic crisis going on, I believe my conversion will never come before June 09.
And the situation at work, it's like getting from bad to worse.
While my boss wants the sales guys to concentrate on new accounts, he pushes all other work to my boss and myself, which includes taking up some of the sales guys job. I guess that's what you'll have to expect when your job title is called something so general like - Client Support.
And it really doesn't help that there's an idiot in our team acting like he is the 2nd boss, delegating whatever he can to us. And we can't really do much about it because he's a smart ass who can justify for doing that and what's worse is that he was being fostered to our unit together with my big boss, so my big boss totally trust this ass.
I thought I was the only one having negative feelings about the job.
Apparently, even my boss who has been working there for four years is beginning to feel that our effort / existence is not being appreciated at all. He even jokingly told me that: "We'll see who goes first." (or maybe, he's really not joking).
Anyway, i know that once this entry goes out, everyone will be thinking/commenting:
"The market is bad, just endure first."
"She's thinking of job-hopping again."
Spare my tagboard of these comments, I really do not need these.
Just let me talk to my blog.
And anyway, I won't leave just as yet and not without a job.
And as I said previousely, I'll compromise and live on.
