People Management: Insignificant Part We Hardly Talk About

Image
  Does a person that manages the people need to become insensible with feelings? Human has been proven overtime hard to control and respond differently depending on their state of mind. Then, who said it is great idea to have another human- to control another group of human? Wild idea.  Hi there, we are zooming in to 4 years later in which now I'd promoted to become an outlet manager. It has been less than a year as of today, but it felt way too long somehow. There were so many things happened granted I've lost counting since October 2022. As a manager I'm responsible to support my company on 3 things. On tonight post, we need to discuss on 1 of the them- managing people.   Supervising my subordinate basic behaviour is my least favourite commitment. I've always assumed people have good common sense to get their shit together and behave accordingly. Well, I've learn the hard way. Previously I have explained I drove 1 hour to work due to personal reason. In the span o

They Say Choose Your Hard; So I Choose Long Commute

 I choose to commute hours away to work. Despite several roadblock exist inconsistently that make me re-calculate my actual commute timing so I can leave my house at appropriate time, to arrive at my workplace at appropriate time. I choose to drive long hour back to my house so I can use this as an excuse to clock out earlier compared to other. Although it is not going to make any difference since they will reach home first, when I still be driving on the highway.  We can't have all nice things at once. At one point, I choose to shorten my social times on working day since I need to get ready for 8 hours recommended sleep time. Albeit my sleep never check a full eight. I choose to ignore others who are not worth to chat with because I only have few hours (specifically, in minutes) left to spend with loved ones before the clock hit 9 o'clock, commanding my body to rest. But I'm determine to wake up early to hit the road the next day because I prefer to be chill getting ready

Approaching Hustle Life Slowly

  Recently, my performance at work went terrible. My mood swung around and I was barely able to articulate my thoughts in proper manner. There's something happened at home but there are a lot of thing going at work too. Today I return here to pour out my mind and see where's this going. I wanted to see if I could find a solution through my own writing.  If I could describe my work nature in one word, it would be hustle. The amount of tasks to be completed in one day is crazy. Let say on one particular day, I need to complete 8 different task excluding pop-up task (a sudden instruction to help other's staff or anything) before I can return home. 8 different tasks within 9 hours to finish it at 100% good execution. The pros would be nothing get delayed but the cons? You can't pause. fast lane. credit: Arity Every day I seek new way to approach my work more lightly. Alas, I failed every day. To accomplish this much in limited timeline seems ridiculous. Ironic

Aide-Memoire: We Will Make Mistakes and It Will Be Okay

I pondered quite long whether to write this because my stance is to never tell anything happen at work to public. However, I've decided differently; no obvious figure will be mentioned here and no tea will be served. Everything in this post here are merely my personal view. Not about the event per se.  But if you know, then you know.  they* (a gender neutral referencing to a particular figure, to not disclose the said figure's identity) ----- There was a huge drama happened at work. Quick story; a colleague repeat same trouble, however this time, causing huge backlash from my seniors. I didn't understand the degree of these issue when it happened but others told me the colleague was problematic from day one (even before I joined them). The climax came down to when one of my seniors (will be called subordinate due to different position in next paragraph) gave full feedback to our superior figure, in private. All of this to solve one root of the problem- the s
