Now you've pissed me off!
A few months back, I posted something ranting about my "new boss".
Now I'm gonna need to rant even more.
A couple of months trying to see the good in him, trying to make things work... and voila!
It didn't.
So a week ago, I finally submitted my resignation. Yes, I finally had enough of his bullsh*tt*n' styles and decided I don't want to work with someone like him ... especially if his boss/bosses see this and do nothing. I simply don't want to work for a company like that. Goes against my principles and values.
So I resigned. Not quit. Resigned.
It came as a surprise to my team and they've been starting to hate my boss even more because of it.
Let me give you a little background about him:
-- He came from another account within the company and was recently got accepted to head our account. (he came from the same position I'm holding now)
-- He came from a very different industry before that -- and apparently was blacklisted from the whole industry for something I'd LOVE to find out.
-- He still hasn't done anything for the account.
-- The managers and frontliners, even support staff of this account do not like him. at all. He's been all show. In short.. he talks the talk... but cannot walk the walk.
I've been working for this company 5 non-stop years and know this particular account by heart. I can answer anything you ask me about this account, and my previous bosses know that. I would've been in that position if I wanted to, but I didnt. I made it clear that I cannot sacrifice my time with my son and family for that lucrative pay and unwanted stress.
About a month and a half ago, I encountered a personal problem that unfortunately affected work. Unfortunately he was my boss that time. It was his 2nd month on the program and he's still just walking around bouncin' and feeling like a hollywood schmuck... oh! i mean star.. (LOL)
I told him how disappointed this account is at him. I am speaking on both my behalf and the rest of the team, who always felt comfortable airing concerns to me. I told him because I so love this account that I'm not gonna let a schmuch ruin it just because he's holding that position. My previous bosses know that, and they love me for that.
I don't know if it's just me, but I believe he hated that I know he doesn't know anything and that he's such a lazy bastard. So from then on he started hitting me below the belt.
He used my absences during my personal dilemma against me. He tried to terminate me (that bastard!). Fortunately for me, I know the policies inside and out, sometimes I have to remind him I am part of the 60 pioneers of this company here in the Philippines -- I was here when everything was gray, no black and whites.
Now I submitted my resignation last week and advised him I'll serve 60 days because I want to teach my successor. I don't want this account to go to waste because of someone who's here for the money and fame...
Yesterday, he called me to his office and told me this:
"We're shortening your 60 days to 30 days notice... and you are only required to go to work for 15 days. The rest of the 15 days, you're going to be paid but you won't have to come in."
WHAT?! That means I have until NEXT WEEK!
Ooohh that really.. reallly.. PISSED ME OFF.
Here I was scheduling meetings with my team afraid they won't have development when I leave because I didn't have it from my boss, where else can they get it? Now I'll have to fast track everything.
I was planning 8 saturdays of brunch or night out with my team
now it's shortened to 2.
sucks. i know.
yet i can't get mad. I can't hold grudges. It's not right... and if i do, I'm only stooping down his level, and hunny, he's not worth it.
So i'm here again. just ranting. letting steam off. I will do this again later with my team... then with some friends until I'm more relaxed.
I'm leaving everything to KARMA. I'm not a buddhist but I so believe in KARMA.
Now I'm gonna need to rant even more.
Amy Huang even posted this comment on the blog:

What an idiot. Don't let him put you off from doing a great job! You know you can always quit and let him just try to figure it all out himself .

Yeah I told my former bosses who didn't want me to leave yet if not for my utter disappointment that after he's done digging his own grave and have fallin in it, I'll be looking into coming back.
That place is/was my home for the past 5 years, that team's my family. *sigh*

The only pain I'm having is that I am leaving this family that I've been with through thick or thin.

Use this post as a guideline and be candid, but not emotional. Stand up for yourself and others to timid to speak up.

my concern though is that his boss is very "pro" him. My former bosses are both having issues with my boss' boss. (lol getting confusing?)
Both of my former bosses who are now working on the same company but higher positions already advised me to just rest (due to several things going on with my life at the same time the past 2 months).
I will do that to clear my head and heart... will probably go back
