Point of authority
Wassup yall… hehehe
Sunday night now and I’m bracing myself for the next 5 days at work. That brings me to the title of this entry. I am bad at following the authority at work, but yet again I am good at following rules. Confuse? yes me too.. hahaha
I think I like to be my own ruler. Set up my own way of doing things and I want things going my way. Well, who doesn’t?
Anyway, I am OK if someone exercise his or her power fairly. I, for one, am not into exercising my power to show my authority. If I am a leader, I could see myself getting down into the dirt, roll up my sleeves and join my sub-ordinates. Could this means I’m losing my point of authority? I don’t think so. Do good to others and they will be good to you. That is my belief. My petpeeve is when someone tries to show that he/she has the authority just because the title says so, but they did not earn it.
As I said before, I am bad at following my leader. I think part of it because I am independent in what I do. A lot of time, at work I would do what I seem good for myself and the company of course, but not to my leader.
I don’t like to run to my boss when I have issue. I want to handle it myself. I don’t like to complain to my boss, but I would rather face the issue and offer solution. Some people might prefer to go through the boss, then the boss with bring it up to the big boss. Not me. I would bring the matter to the person with real authority and power. Hahaha… That is why and I notice it, that I often ‘disrespect’ my immediate boss. But no harm done. Problem is solved faster, just at the price of my immediate boss’s pride.
So far, I can count with 2 fingers, my bosses who I catagorized as effective managers. The rest.. FAIL! They want you to report to them, be the first to hear your complain, and hopes it does not leak out to the big boss.
I’m whining about this because it happened to me that instead of getting praised for my good work, I was blamed due to my boss’s ignorance in the matter. He was angry that he was not the first person to know about the good news. What the haaiirr?
Anyway, things never end with me 
I always have things up my sleeves. If they think everything is smooth sailing with me, then they are wrong.
Keep up with me, or else.. see ya!
Long live middle management!
