When people ask why I transferred from my old workplace to my current one, I always say it's because I was promoted.
Okay, that's true. But the real reason is : I was tired of being the leader.I was tired of making the decisions.I was done with making the calls. For 5 years I did that and I needed a break.
I wanted to be a follower. Lead the way and I'll be two steps behind. Tell me what to do, I'm tired of doing the thinking.
In my new office, I got that. I didn't have to think of running the place. I didn't have to manage people so much. I can concentrate on my clinical work. I got that. I had that. For a month.
Now things have taken a new turn. Suddenly I find myself on the spot. Suddenly I'm back at the position I ran away from. The difference is, the organization is bigger. Keluar mulut harimau, masuk mulut buaya.
Padan muka aku.
But that's work for you. Sometimes you just don't have a choice. Not now anyway.
But hey, you can either moan about it or move on.
I've decided to move on.
Go me!
Lagipun I have to stay positive. This weekend I will run in a race where I'll be tied down with a rubber band and then hanged. Adoi!

There are always challenges up the carrier path. Same goes with running. Perhaps now you are pacing somebody, who knows someday you'll be the pacer. Anyway, I still like to be the follower at work also :D
ReplyDeleteOoops! Terlupa. Good luck for your race. Really wanna read THE RACE report. Very the special race one. Don't get tied up too much ok. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I resigned from a post last year. Wasn't happy being a leader and when I wasn't happy it showed in my performance.
