Its an inside joke in my department.
“The higher the upper management place you….the closer you get to the door”
OR
“If the upper management doesnt miss your work anniversary…they are more than likely reminding you that you’ve been working with them for way too long now, let me show you where the door is…”
For almost 4 years that I am working in the same company and Ive already worked with 4 managers within that time frame. I love each and everyone of them in different ways. How could I forget Mr. John G, who gave me a break from being a collector to a Supervisor. He showed me the ways to do it and what would not. It was great until after 3 months of being promoted, he resigned. Then there was Dan H., who is way younger than me but acts more mature than I am! LOL! (I actually had a crush on him when I first started in the company LOL!). He didnt last too…after 6 months he left. Then there was Melanie, and finally, a female manager! Who will understand about cramps and break ups but she is a real toughie! Then there was Mahera.
My manager-supervisor relationship with her is way beyond than work. She knows how to push my buttons quite well I must say but she always understand what I am going thru. She is almost a sister to me. I understand her in some ways that other people doesnt. Probably because we like to be secretive sometimes? I dont know. I always can run away with everything with her. From calling in sick, yelling at her and throwing work load on top of hers. She didnt say anything but when she gets pissed off, I just want to run! LOL!
Today is her last day at work. We actually managed to gather up the team, collect pictures and made a collage. I believe that no one has done that for someone who is leaving the company. Most of the time, its either cake or taking out the person for drinks. It was pretty cool, unique and definately a keepsake. You can tell that people did put an effort for it. Andrea, Michael and I gather everything and covered their backs when Mahera started asking about them. I just pretend that I am not in the good mood so that she can get off my case and annoy someone else instead! LOL!
Now that she is no longer with the company, I wonder who will take over. I wonder for how much are they going to pay that person. I wonder if that person can handle this 3 departments. I wonder if I can get away with “sick days” and act the following morning as if it didnt happen. I dont know, but who ever it maybe…..GOODLUCK!
Im telling you…my department is kind of a curse. Whoever takes over the manager position, gets out of the door in less than a year. Tell me it isnt messed up!
