Absenteeism in my team has taken its toll on me. It seems that nothing works for those people who do not appreciate that I am extending to them. Instead of being grateful some of them seem to just ask for more as if I owe them big time. Inggrata!
I have bent the rules- even it means costing my job. That’s why it makes me even more frustrated when I could not count on the same people during critical times.
Today, for the first time in 3 years, I have denied a vacation request. I guess I just have to learn how to say "NO" on some requests especially to those people who doesn’t reciprocate the extra effort I am extending them. I am afraid I now have to be a "by-the book-supervisor" even if it means terminating people. No more bending over backwards for me. These people just have to learn.Labels: all in a day's work, people |
Hi thet,
Ganon talaga pag nasa supervisory/managerial position ka na, you'll have to make difficult decisions and oftentimes, dapat professional na yung pag iisip and less of "friends-friends".
Hope this doesn't stress you out so much, baka maka affect kay baby Therrence :)
