Pourquoi elle?
The Asst Manager (AM) probably sense the unhappy vibes around, especially coming from C and myself.
She spoke to us individually today. And man I am so tickled by her explanation.
Why her? Here's what she said-
1- She cannot take stress
2- She is a burden in the rest of the team if she remains in her current role
3- A checker is different from a Supervisor
4- The opportunity arises and they feel they can cater to her needs better by placing her there
S: What makes you so sure she can take the stress in the new role?
AM: checking and reconcilating reports is a very easy job
Right..... oh hang on, HOW hard can it be if you job scope is just to check reports and do zilch processing and query resolution? Hmm, guess the AM is right then.
Then the AM kept trying to convince me that appointing A as a checker is by no means a recognition of her being promoted to a supervisor.
Call me nasty or what but here's what I said -
I really do not understand the difference between a checker and a supervisor? Let me put this in an analogy. When we were in schools, our teachers checked our work to ensure they are correct. Do we not regard our teachers as being better than us in terms of the knowledge they impart to us? In our current work function, our work are checked by you to ensure they meet firm and audit requirements. And you are our AM. You won't not ask any Tom, Dick and Harry or anyone new to the department to check and reconcile the report, would you?
To the above, she continued her emphasis that checking report is easy and basically she said anyone can check other people's work?! Duh. Then she asked me if I was afraid of A checking my work?
Ha!
No, I am not afraid of anyone checking my work. My work cannot be perfect and error free all the time, but I would think that the person checking my work must possess a certain level of capability and knowledge. Otherwise, how else is she going to check my work to ensure they are done properly??
I think you are misunderstanding the difference between a checker and a supervisor, she said again and again. Then she tried to justify that she cannot afford to lose C or myself to the new role.
Well, ultimately I am not upset that it wasn't me. I am more baffled why of all people, she was chosen. This is really your call. I may accept it but I do not agree with it.
Then it was C's turn with the AM. The same stuff pretty much. Yawns.
Oh! When C ask the AM if they had thought of A answering to external audit queries in her new role (afterall, if the auditors had a query about the reports, rightfully they should go to the one signing them off, right?), guess what the AM said?
They have not considered this aspect of A's new role.
Hahaha!!!! Wow, enlightenment! Right, so who were they expecting the external auditors to go them if they had a query about the reports?
Well good luck I say. If last year's audit horror (a result of A's blabbermouth and inaccurate answers) had not taught them that A is not equipped to handle such queries, they are obviously in for some good fun when the external auditors come in October.
She tried to pacify C by telling her the same story - she cannot afford to lose C to the new role. To that, C pointed out: Is there really a need for a checker role? Where all A does is check reports and nothing else? What's the point if she cannot take out the rest of the package in that role?
And guess what, if all A is going to do is check reports, C and I are likely to be given the rest of the package - queries resolution / audit checks / back up support
So nice right, she gets the title and we do the rest of the shit which she is too stressed to do, on top of our current workload (which ONLY includes daily processing, escalation queries and training)
What kind of F*&king logic is that???????? Total bollocks and ludicrous! Absurd to the core!
Anyway the AM said she will talk to the manager tomorrow & discuss this further. Maybe they will do away with the checker role.
Right, I am sick and tired of talking about this anymore. Let me recall some happier moments of my day today :)
I organised the monthly departmental birthday celebration today. It was my manager's turn to organise and she decided to delegate this time round, to moi. This was a happy moment because the food were yummy!! Afterall I did the catering and the cake buying! ;)
Ohhh... and guess what I discovered today.
K: Dear, guess what I am doing now?
S: At the range?
K: No, I am at home..
S: Studying?
K: eh no...
S: don't know lah.. est-ce que tu fait maintenant, dit moi..
K: I am drinking Tsingtao beer!
S: huh? Wahhhhhhhh kai ki lim ah?
K: Heh, I bought them at the Cold Storage when I went to buy ingredients for dinner
S: Ooh what did you buy?
K: The usual meat balls, chicken etc.. and I bought your favourite solero!
S: Wow!!!! You the best!!
K: But guess what I found out when I came home?
S: What?
K: I found a new box of solero in the freezer!!
S: Hmm, who buy?
K: My mum!
S: Hahah.... awwwww did you find your cornetto in the freezer as well?
K: NO!
S: Hahahhah you are dead meat...... your mum loves me!!!
K: ...............
