Politics

It is not disheartening to know that politics happen everywhere. it is just very painful to know that it exist amongst things that u are passionate about - in my case, my work.

I am not that naive but when politics steal away the joy of your work (which is really hard to come by), we will be cornered to make one or two decisions. what options are available for us? For me, there are 3 options available usually - first to conform, second to reform (or go on the offense) or just simply watch and see.

Honestly, to conform will be an easy option. just go with the flow and be in the good books of the new management. But what is it worth when u can no longer be outstanding or excellent. The agenda is simple, there are simply too many managers or supervisors. Whatever the reasons (valid or invalid), the agenda will be fulfilled. it will not be about the cases or facts & figures compiled, the axe may fall and maybe no one can do anything about it. maybe it is all just hype and no action, nato in essence. maybe we imagine or worry too much.

To fight against the new rules can be another option. we think that we do know better. we have a greater sense of connection to the people. To the management, these are numbers. to us, these are family and friends after years of working together. are we getting to involved to see the whole operations clearly. are we getting too attached to have an unbiased perspective.

maybe, we need to step back and take a better look. Do i have a future in this place? do i have a visible path of career development? can i be a better person or professional 3 years down the road? What more value can i offer and what do i get in return? Am i a priority or just another option? An asset or liability? have i been a good leader and manager to my department? My department staff are leaving and i am not keeping them back because i do not see better options left for them. likely they will get the same pay or marginal increment at voluminous output due their visionary and passionate boss?

these have been on my mind for a long while. now, i want to move into greater responsibilities, to serve more, bless more and inspire more. in returns, hopefully greater character development, skills honing, intellect building and asset accumulation.

can i just stand by and watch?

I am a 'shark' natured person who is on the constant move, to breathe, to hunt, to live. i do not wait for opportunities but will rather move from waters to waters. i do once a while get into my feeding frenzy and i do love these moments at times.

well, i have sent out my revised resume and have been more happy ever since with my job hunting. by the grace of the Lord, i hope to land a consultations job that allow me to travel, mix and bless many more companies. i am also in the midst of studying to improve on investment knowledge in a bid to improve my passive income.

may the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will continue to lead and guide me to my promised land. if i need to stay, then i will but i will seriously consider any appropriate offer that lays before me.

So help me God in Whom, i live and move and have my being.
