…. I have been incredibly slammed with work, wedding planning and studying for a certification. Oh, and I am looking to switch jobs. It’s been hectic, and I miss blogging incredibly, yet comitments are not going to make me give it up.
I am facing a very bizarre situation at work where I am taking orders from anyone and everyone. Heck, I might start giving orders too. Speaking of giving orders, we have a newbie in our team…. this after our MD said that we have no budget to give me a raise. Why do I need a raise? Well, considering I have been performing all tasks which are done by our senior staff for the best part of a year, perhaps I should be paid like one too!
A few months ago, this situation would have thrown me into a corner, and I would be feeling really sorry for myself. The thing which has made a difference is the additional responsibility in a few months. As progressive a person I would like to think myself to be, I still find negative scenarios at work very demoralizing. I have an interview today within the company I currently work with, for a role which I already do! Would you blame me for looking elsewhere?
I read an article today (thanks to my fiancee), which made me realise that any and everyone besides the management at work think I am doing a great job; the management just don’t know what I am doing.
I’ll leave you with the article entitled: “Every worker should be a C.E.O of something” – I pride myself in taking greater responsibilities at work, and reading the article makes me realise that I just have to keep at it and the results will start turning up too.
Right…. time to prep for the interview…. by completing my next task.

You are a star! Do the best from your side and make all the effort, rest is upto God. Great things happen to good people and you know you’re one of them
Wow, your situation is so similar to mine in so many ways, I can only say- Oh man, I read you. * sympathies*
The Management is usually the last one to know anything- so irritating. x-( Its great that at least you’re not letting that de-moralize you.
Re: The Newbie situation- I’m not sure if it applies in your case ….I was the newbie in that very situation once and I realized later (to my extreme discomfort), they had bought me in because I cost half as much as the seniors, could be trained to do the same stuff in 6 months and then they can kick all the ‘expensive’ people off and keep me because I, being the newbie, wasn’t likely to quit without getting at least a promotion to the grade I was handling the responsibilities of. Its office politics at its crappiest. I quit as soon as I realized that, BTW. But I had another opening so I could move and it was easy- sometimes, it isn’t- I understand that.
Damn all cheap management!
On the bright side…. I have now got a raise (alhamdulilah for that), and am moving to NY till the end of the year inshallah. Sometimes, waving a jobs page in front of management works. Sometimes!
