It...Hi Pal,<BR/>Perhaps I should explain myself clearly. It's really a long story. But to keep it short, this 'boss' isn't really my direct 'boss' per se. He has been using me as his boy-friday in many ways. I think it is still ok if it is within working hours. After all, he's higher-ranking. But he is fond of calling me at the weirdest times to do very mundane things for him - like keeping him company on an entire Saturday while I'm doing nothing except buy packet lunch for him. Look, I did not get a degree to serve him this way. To me, it is just bullshit. There are many more stories but it'll be too long to explain. It's just that I have to be firm in making a statement. Otherwise he's just taking things for granted and taking advantage of the entire situation. Another point to note is that he makes it very clear that I am not paid for all this 'extra' work for him hence I cannot charge to the particular projects that I inevitably am helping him for. Is this unreasonable or what?Chelonia Munnsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398284110401782326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11482845.post-1124934652445235142005-08-25T09:50:00.000+08:002005-08-25T09:50:00.000+08:00Munn, sometimes, that is part and parcel of work. ...Munn, sometimes, that is part and parcel of work. How you react will have repurcussions (if I have spelt it right) on your career ahead. Just an advice from a good old friend. Please reconsider what your next action will be before you execute it. Don't let your anger or grudges control you. However, there IS a limit to how much unreasonable demands a person can take. Bottom line, I agree that respect have to be earned. Irregardless you are the manager, director, CEO etc. A successful manager or leader is one who earns the respect and is able to manipulate others to slog for you without any complains. That is the ultimate !!! <BR/><BR/>- From Good Old Pal (Shawn)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
