Mospeada SG hi ah meltz... i made up my mind liao... if, only if, i got positive reply from the other company, i will print out the letter and throw it at my GM's desk and forward to the HR immediately...and start to clear out my desk by end of the day
Mospeada SG thanks... i think the other side is much better...cos there will be a team tho the lady colleague will be going for maternal leave, but it is still a team
Mospeada SG yah... it is not that i cant handle....but the requirement is crazy and no one there is supporting me leh...
Mospeada SG i am abt had enough liao my boss want to hold me responsible for the 5 projects that will allow the company to achieve its vision....and allow the company to achieve it budget this year... and i have got to report to the project sponsors, who are not giving my their blessing to run along with their teams... my own project sponsor spoke ill of the project infront of the senior mgmt will u stay any longer?
JasonC SG clarify something here, project sponsors = external vendors? sounds like someone up there doesn't want these projects to succeed; and you're the executioner
Mospeada SG no...the system is very very complex... project sponsors are none other than the snr mmt, they are the one that will facilitate the project ( aka sponsor)... the after that...there is the project managers....follows by team leaders...the team leaders also report to their own dept HOD...which is also the snr mgmt... if that particular HOD aka snr mgmt is not the sponsor of the particular project, they will not put in their blessing for the project, they will say " my sales mgr need to do sales leh...etc etc..." so i am caught in all these cross fire
JasonC SG uh huh, so a HOD might be involved in a project, even though he/she's not the sponsor? am i right to say that the resources for each project is pulled from the different units, and it comes under you, for the execution part?
Mospeada SG something like that.... the sponsor that slammed his own project did so cos he has got another under him that is totally managed by his own dept....
JasonC SG ah, probably his shop's KPIs are pegged to his other project, of course his interests come first; then who do you report to? given the scope of your job, you probably report to someone above the sponsors level? or at least to someone influential enough to make things happen?
Mospeada SG i report to the GM... who constantly gathers feedback from other sponsors abt how badly i have performed
JasonC SG it figures, new kid on the block; your neck is already out there, they only need to provide the axe. you've probably tried explaining your situation to the GM? but it's not gonna work unless there's some direct action from him, sounds like your job/dept is a pilot project? nvm, screw them big time before you leave.
