The first thing I got after getting back to work from vacation is a phone call from my boss grilling me on millions of things. Everything just doesn’t look right: numbers are wrong, report has mistake, presentation deck is not good enough, control & test population are screwed, candidate turned down the offer, travel arrangement didn’t get approved, customer complaints … etc etc. For that one moment I almost feel like saying ’screw you.. I don’t give a damn and I am quitting now’. But as coward as I am, instead, I said ‘yes boss, ok boss, I’ll fix it, I’ll get that done by End of day, Sorry about that, my bad.. ‘ Afterall, I am paid to do these things. Sounds pathetic but he probably got the same beatings from his boss.
It’s been 7 months since I got this job, but I feel like forever. It’s like going to the battlefield every single day and never have a break. 17 more months to go…
