Is it unfair for me? Well, if I am on his shoes, I do understand him. He only wants the top of the top people working for him. I learned a lot from him. Since now, I have a better idea of what a real manager should do.
A manager is simply a person who is responsible for a certain task. In order to do this task well, he/she got people working for him. The results of the works are his/her asset. Since the manager will use them to show/present to others. Imagine that someone is doing the job badly. What should you do? Yes, fire that person might be the best solution, since time is value. When we talk about business, it is all about money.
Although I was fired, my colleagues still did not know about this news. They were nice people. I will gonna miss them. It was also bad that I could not be able to say goodbye to them. It was hard to tell them I was fired because I spoiled the head manager time.
My manager was very happy with me though. He usually got surprised about the results I showed to him when he asked me a favor: to do this and that for him. But he is a guy who is just a follower. He dare not to got fight with his boss, which is the head manager.Therefore, when the head manager asked his opinions, he simply nodded his head. Actually I had hoped he had fought a bit for me. But that might be not in his veins.
Everyone will make a mistake. I hope that this is the only one mistake I make in my life. ShanShan sent me a sms when I informed her that I got a job. She said, she had no doubt I will have a good career. ShanShan, will you still think I am that good? hahaha...
The last two hours in Shell, my manager called me to have a chat. It was about administration stuff. He also gave me his feedbacks about my attitude and work performance. He simply had all good words about me, since he said he had nothing to add which I improve. It seems that I am the perfect guy for him. Then, my manager asked me about what they can improve. I told him that it is uttermost important to provide a good introduction to newbies. When I joined the club, it seemed I was dropped in the nowhere. I got no map, no tools and no food to able to survive. Actually, I wanted to ask him, how can you expect from someone to perform well if you never tell him/her how they operate? But this question was left inside myself, since there is no use to fight, since the decision is already made.
The lost of this job has quite a large impact on my financial and time status. Recently, I received a loan from the government. I need to pay them back at the begin of next year, since I owed them 40.000euro+. All this money is from study. So, is studying that much good? Sometimes, I doubt about my investment in education and building up career. Might I be happier if I was simply a common guy?
This week, I got a sms from my canteengirl. I told her I am feeling bad. She said, she will make em feel good. I didn't tell her that I was fired. I only told this news to Annie, Bou, Shabir, Sing and (today) Ashley. People around me think I am a capable guy. I think they all will lose their eyes when they hear this news....
Anyway, the moment that my canteengirl showed her concern, gave me a warm and energetic feeling. It reminds me this quote: Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife. Will she my wife? Is my lack of success because I haven't win her heart yet?
