The Power Struggle

I guess this is my only chance to pour out all my aversion against some power struggle in our team. I couldn’t talk to anyone about this in the office as I do not want to stir up anyone’s sanity.

Some people are just so insecure and hungry for credit and power. They think that being senior in terms of tenure means that they know a lot already. They want to be always acknowledged that they are good, they are in power and they are still Tier 2 when in fact they are not. They want special powers, special permissions and even blatantly asking if they have one. They hated the idea that some people are just better than them. They forgot that they started altogether in the new skill set. They purposely sometimes make remarks as if to provoke these individuals who they think is trying to steal the limelight.

And why am I able to say this? Because I felt I have become their victim and I can’t stand it. I do not hunger for credit, I do not want it either. I do my work well without expecting anything in return. I do it as part of my personal calling and if I do it well, it is because I do not want to retire at the end of the day and become accountable for what I have not done. I never want a substandard work and I expect the same from other people. I am too shy to receive credit for anything I have done well and yet, other people are just too hungry about it.

I maybe very vocal about ideas and opinions because I felt that my superiors are not open minded. They tend to not bear anyone who question procedures. They are too full of pride not to admit mistakes and are always on the brink of proving that they are right and oftentimes admit their mistakes through memos they issue at a later date. Duh! Mga hambog!

This makes me want to leave the team soon. This is the first time after one year here that I have thoughts of leaving the company. When things are no longer healthy, the best thing to do is to swim out of it rather than stay and continue swimming against the tide.

Just as soon as the 13th month is released I will be spending time for the next career move.

(Hah! Since it is this easy to go job hopping in the call center industry, this makes me wanna do this.. Yahooooo!)
