I have a new boss.
I dunno whether he good or not, cuz so far, he has not proven
that he has substance.
He keeps going on MC. One month at least 2 days
consecutively. The most recent one three days. And he
keep going on urgent leave -- sometimes claiming that his mother is
sick. Sometimes, say got family problem. And other
times, say he got financial problem.
Both his MCs and ULs are like rubber -- highly extendable
one.. Every morning, he will call in or sms say that he's
still on MC or UL.
Our works got jammed, cuz he doesn't assign covering officer to
clear his things in his absence -- he wants to
micromanage.
He not in office, but "his spirit" will haunt us cuz he will
call each and every person to ask this and that and tok this and
that -- things that are non essential. And then he will say
"Tomorrow I sure come back to office one". And then next day,
never show up.
He missed all the impt meetings. Dunno whether deliberate
or not. End up, staff have to attend without him. Those
meetings that don't involve his staff, he also never bother to get
his staff to represent him. And for those meetings that his
staff do attend in his absence, he will call to show extreme
concern like asking: "What did the meeting start" "Who was at
the meeting?" "Who presented?" "Who said what?"
"Did the big boss say what?" And when the staff update him
things like "Oh following meeting, we have to get this and that
update.." Then he will ma hou pao and say "Ya, you all better
do it..."
Whenever I get things done right, he will also ma hou pao and
say "Not say I ma hou pao, but I already told you that you should
do this ..." Damn irritating leh!!
And then recently, there is a very very impt meeting. He
mc again. I who was also sick, and my staff was most ill
(high fever and stuff) both attended the meeting. After that,
he called my staff, again asked very concern questions like "What
time the meeting start?" "How was the meeting?" blah
blah blah.
And then sent me a seriously long sms to lecture me for doing
something that I should not do at the meeting ie. I got my
colleague to attend the meeting when it's not his area.
(actually it was my staff who got the colleague to stand by, in
case I really unwell and couldn't make it for the meeting) I
was like... double U tee ef! Who is he to lecture me when he
bong dang an impt meeting and somemore it's the dunno how many
times liao. I replied to him without even saying hi or
greeting. Just one line answer saying "we got him there cuz I
am having a fever now".
Then he said sorry and then followed by a long long long long
long sms telling me if I cannot go to work the next day, can just
tell him. Tell he for what? The next day, he bong dang
again!
I tok to the big boss with my concern cuz a lot of things were
super jammed due to this guy's poor attendance. The worse
thing is: my big boss will chase for things "I asked for this and
that, how come you all never give me". And we all have a
common answer:"we are waiting for <my boss> to
clear/approve".
I dunno how else I can tok to my big boss about it
anymore. I tok to him, but at the same time, I cannot like
stabbing my own superior, right?
