I hope everyone is doing okay.

Wow! People just can’t let me have a good day. I got to the point of my day almost being over on a good note and it’s as if they know and they want to ruin it. I have put in a lot of effort, being positive, and prepping for the next budget with planning, documenting. I defended my department, our effort, action plans, and solutions. The Sr. Manger acknowledged my work, my knowledge, confidence, and power which came as a surprise.

I thanked her and said I repeated myself to several other groups involved in the budget process so it’s well memorized in detail. Yes, it was flawless, but it comes with a lot of work, minor details, and two hundred people to account for. My dedication and strategy of how I’m organizing myself is critical, it’s slow moving right now, but it’s okay. I think and make decision independently without anyone’s approval internally. I seldom ask anyone for support they rely on me for information and updates on tasks and projects.

Today, my boss decides he wants to overrule me on the pettiest things. I said no. He wants to put two months of posted costs on one invoice and I said no because I know the sponsor and they want to see each month individually. He says the sponsor will be able to read it better and I said no, we need to show transparency. He tells me to ask the sponsor and I sent him an email where it specifically states one month costs, one invoice. So, here I go again, we’re going to look like we don’t know what we’re doing because it’s not them who gets a scolding of how it’s written in the contract and to go look at it, it’s me. It makes me look bad like I don’t know what I’m doing.

These people don’t understand anything we change will look strange and will be audited. We have to show transparency. Why allow for more questions to be raised when we’re already under the microscope. The sponsor responded nicely because I told him I was asking for someone else and that I knew the answer. LOL! All the Best!
