Feedback session
I told EW that I want work-life balance.I told EW that I am toying with the idea of quitting and looking for another place that can provide work-life balance.
I told EW that I don't look forward to being promoted and work 15 hours a day.
I told EW that I also don't look forward to work 15 hours a day without getting promoted.
I told EW that I hate KR.
I told EW that I won't grow under KR or under her since she's under KR.
I told EW to keep a look out for me on opportunities outside the bank.
I told EW to keep a look out for me on opportunities within the bank.
EW is my manager. KR is EW's immediate boss and my big boss. Throughout the 30-minute session (intended to review my objectives for the year), she kept encouraging me to see the bright side of things, that I should take the chance to pick up ISDA negotiation, to learn the full scope of work, to be nicer to KR, to at least be diplomatic with KR because he is one who remembers!
In the end, I told EW that I will give myself one year to learn the whole of collateral management from her, then I will seriously consider leaving this overly-talented team (for a less-intelligent one so that I can be the star player, work 8 hours a day and get promoted all the same). This shall be my work objective for 2010 till KR wields his stupidity and cuts short my patience to put up with his ridiculous antics. I am a racist when it comes to this type of lazy, petty, loud-voiced Indian man. Hmph!
