Fear

I fear that I may not last the 1 or 2 years that I want to. why? somehow I'm picky over the attitude of my new boss....

I'm not sure if I'm really kicking up a fuss for nothing or there is really something wrong....I've got to analyse that....before concluding......my dad would say, a boss is a boss, sometimes, you've got to take shit 'cos they pay you the dough.

Here's the attempted analysis:

1. What do you like about the new work place?
  • not so busy
  • boss is quite flexible about taking time off, either for bring son to doc or some other reason
  • one of the colleague is quite ok while the other didn't really like. there was another colleague whom I'm ok with, left
  • more or less established that I could go off on time during certain day in the week to study
  • oh ya - $ is good.
  • it's a new business to learn
  • gives a laptop to work with
  • generous when come to celebration

2. What do you not like about the new work place?

  • communication with the boss is not so clear or without hiccups currently
  • won't have any propspect here in 1 or 2 years
  • his attitude when dealing with staff could be improved - like 'my door is always opened' but when you look at the face, it says 'door close - do not disturb'
  • boss = typical male. 1 track mind only.
  • Almost didn't make it to take leave to study.
  • feel bad if colleague has to cover during busy times when I need to go on leave.
  • foul language used quite openly in the company but not in the team I work in. affecting but not a big deal (I'm surprise that this even come in as a reason, caused I remembered being a bit of foul mouth myself in younger days).
  • In previous co, I'm more involved in my role, such that I take few instructions, do coordination, advise my ex-boss more, take care of more staff. Now, take more instructions, and wait for instructions, less advisory (at this point of time), almost no staff.
  • Having to observe the mood of the boss, before approaching does not help
