vendredi, août 06, 2004 Today, a close colleague - one I consider a friend - told me that yesterday, she didn't talk to me much on purpose because I had gotten her scolded for something which was my fault - I increased the number of locks that we ordered by one, and this made Bug-Eye jump and grumble at her.The scary thing is that I had NO idea that she was mad at me the previous day. I noticed that she was quiet, but I thought that was because she had a late night and she stays in Tampines. She told me that I should have informed her immediately about the change in the number, so that she could change the number on the computer system that we use for payment and prevent Bug-Eye from scolding her. Firstly (to my defence), I didn't know that it was THAT big a deal - I knew that some adjustments would have to be made to the order, but I didn't realise how ngieow the paperwork really is. Secondly, although it was my fault (I took all the blame for it), I can't help but feel this is a symptom of a larger problem within my workplace - both she and I are excellent workers - we don't slack when there's work to be done, but we're both just so overworked that there's not much time to be nice, and there's not much brain space to remember to tell people what they need to know. Of course we'll end up making mistakes - we're only human. Thirdly, I think it was rather unfair of Bug-Eye to take it out on my poor colleague. All Bug-Eye could have done was to call us and complain, and not scold someone who had absolutely ZERO idea what she was ranting about. But it's still my fault, and therefore am to hang on the morrow. [KillMeNow #4] |
