I hope everyone is doing okay. I have been absent for a little bit because I took some time off to go on vacation to the beach and my family and I had a blast. I’m really behind on my blog and I couldn’t wait to get back and continue writing about the ongoing drama at work.
There’s tension I feel it. People are jittery at the upcoming meeting with the big boss. The sponsor is the big boss and wants answers, people were hoping for this dilemma of over spending and staying silent the problem will go away. Now they all have to answer to the sponsor that provides budget for the project of how and why things are costing a lot more than expected. On the other hand someone told our team to spend? I don’t know where the disconnect happened I wasn’t here, but I’m trying to fix it and clean it up. I asked for payroll to process in an off cycle to move overspent amounts off a project to another that has budget and my boss was too worried to request it?! He, instead asked me to do it. I’m having to jump through hoops and this dilemma will not end soon. I am still not familiar with all the functions and processes. At times I might get it wrong, but learned something new for future use. My boss doesn’t want to be wrong. The ego is too high and lost at what all I have going on in my role. I continue to repeat myself with him and the program team, they must ignore me for them to forget to quickly. It’s important!
There is no structure and I feel the tension and frustration from the program team. I don’t yet understand or know all of it yet, but not afraid to learn and be wrong, if so, then correct me. Others will immediately give me an ear full of everything I did wrong, but won’t tell me how to correct it. Luckily I found someone and was so thankful. I’m going to get it wrong and it’s okay, but don’t put me down first and not bother to train me. All the Best!
