wow, i was expecting to hear some horrible boss stories from you guys.
but this is good. Moving007 has a point, but you gotta give me some credit for thinking in his shoes. I try to think objectively and the truth is the next poster really hit the nail on its head. The ONLY thing I request from him is to communicate with me and HONESTLY. he tells me and the staff things, but I find that often times, its for the sake of getting us moving. Like the story about the boy who cried wolf, if you do it too many times, ppl will ignore your sense of urgency sooner or later. I lost that sense of urgency after a week's work here. He's asked me to do a dozen tasks so far and co-incidentally every task is for tomorrow or tonight cause he's seeing a client or has to tender for a bid.
And no, I'm not being a overly sensitive nipple. This dissatisfaction is mutual within the company. They are all very reasonable people who don't demand too much. They are honest and hardworking people who simply want more leadership.
And to add, the boss has asked his PA to print off my business cards yesterday cause I'll be seeing clients today. At the same time, he made no mention of me seeing clients. Me guess is its his way of getting us moving. Its a question of chicken or egg, cause or effect.
and to those who are looking to ask me to man up or shut up. First of all, this is just a rant to vent off and perharps get a second opinion. second of all, someone got it perfectly right. Would it be possible that my wife could be 7 months pregnant and us needing a mortgage, requiring 3 month's of income proof?
irregardless, I guess it takes some getting used to!
