These past 2 months, I have been contemplating the possibility of ending my tenure in the current department and offer my skills and talent (what’s left of it) to another department that I have been eyeing on for quite some time now. I even thought about leaving the company altogether if I won’t get to do what I’m good at or at least have the tiniest bit of interest in.
I have been talking to some friends and most of them support my decision to move away from the boring job scope that the VP has bestowed upon my boss and I.
I guessed someone slipped their tongue about my intention of leaving to my boss and from what I heard, he’s not inclined to let me transfer to another department.
The VP called me in last Tuesday and hinted her intention to move me to Risk Management section because of my ‘attentiveness to details’ and my ‘spot-on reporting’. Whatever those things might mean. To my ears, it’s DEATH SENTENCE. Simple as that. I have no interest, let alone talent in things concerning risk management. I’m not a fan of taking great risks anyway.
I spent the rest of the 45 minutes chat, nodding my head in false pretence of agreement to her every statement. That’s it. She has officially killed what’s left of my interest in working for her division. Murdered and slaughtered brutally.
Spoke to my boss about it and he was surprised that the VP didn’t even bother to ask or talk to him first before telling me about her plans.
He then explained that he’s requested to report to the CFO directly and not to the VP any longer. He detailed out his plans for our department and I liked what I saw and heard. The thing is, the request would only be finalized in June and it requires consensus from both parties. There is still a possibility that the plan will not work.
Yesterday, my boss and the Dutchman discussed some serious stuff about our roles as project advisors and consultants. That was when my boss mentioned that he’s giving me a new project to handle. I was surprised but it was one pleasant surprise. I see this as his way of saying that I am capable and he trusts me.
If this is confirmed, I’ll be managing another half a million ringgit project. That’s a total of 1.2 million ringgit project under my belt!
I don’t know if I should shed tears of happiness or terror!!
Okay. Back to work.
