Frustrate. Me
As hard as I try to regain my composure, I just cant do it. Things are all heading in the wrong direction. Tsk. I really loathe that unsettling feeling when everything that I have planned for suddenly becomes uncertain.
One of my best TSEs tendered his resignation today. All because of a project that has proven its ability in bringing my staff down. Demoralised and pushed to rock bottom, one has decided to surrender. A few others have consulted me and made aware of their intentions to leave for a rival company if the performance of the project does not improve. I do not blame them. They are here to support their livelihood, and if this project is not bringing in results, its ultimately affecting their incentives. As much as it breaks my heart to see them go cos mind you, they are a bunch of fine TSEs with little or no attitude/performance issues, I have to release them so that they will be able to seek greener pastures and attain better things in life.
The other department is also not helping. Not only is the quality of the project questionable, you are also asking me to rush out a report that is taking me weeks to update. Yes, I do understand your frustration as you need my report to analyse the consumer behaviour. But at the same time, who is empathising with me? I have to manually update 33k worth of data on excel and its taking me forever. And please, I too have other projects and job functions. I am holding onto other roles as well. Sigh. This is really getting to me.
Ugh. I cant wait for Friday to be over.
Quoted from one of the managers in another dept : Nothing done does not mean we are not working.
