Avoiding confrontation – 12/24/25

I hope everyone is doing okay. It’s Christmas time and I really am trying to hold my tongue, avoiding the same 2 women. Day after day both have been asking for one invoice because the supplier is owed the amount for months. Why should I be stressed over your lack of oversight. Today I was asked again.

I’m not accounts payable or treasury. There is a workflow and system to follow and we have to get in line like everyone else. Of course after much pressure I had to call in a favor and I like to reserve these for urgent situations, not to be given an invoice yesterday and expect it to be paid overnight, doesn’t work that way. MD “LAU” has tried to put pressure on me and I have a feeling it’s her Director 1 throwing shade at me. MD “LAU” is eating the lies up. (blog 12/19/25)

I am going on vacation now, Christmas through January 5th, new year. I have to come up with a strategy to once again try to explain to the Sr. Manager how the accounts work because they are missing the target. The payroll lady “MM” is screwing things up and won’t admit she’s wrong, she’s only putting blame on my boss. This shows the vulnerability of the team and I’m part of it so it falls on me as well. I have to be the “bigger” person and continue to support them that they understand the information otherwise they will continue to get payroll wrong.

I don’t dislike these people, but the experience in their role is lacking. I just don’t speak it. I’m sure they know it. The power they portrayed initially to me upon coming onboard is no longer. They have tried to hurt me with their words and my job. They throw the rock and hide or act like it wasn’t them. I need to reset because the tide will turn upon my return on 1/06/26. All the Best!
