One more down...

My boss quit. Sigh. She was a nice lady.

 

Shit happens.

 

Which brings me to the theory I have been postulating for some time....that my relation with any boss doesn’t last usually beyond 6-9 months...either they quit or I move out. The good ones quit, I move out when its a jerk.

 

For my personal records, the bosses list below

 

Apr 06 – Started working

Jul 06 – Boss 1 moves to Corporate

Feb 07- Boss 2 quits; Boss 3 is a super jerk

May 07 – I change cities..Boss 4 is nice

Sept 07 – I move across to a diff business..Boss 5 is ok

Mar 08 – Boss 5 quits

Aug 08 – Boss 6 quits, Boss 7 is a jerk

Feb 09 – As part of the leadership prgm, I move on a rotation. Boss 8 is the worse of the lot

Dec 09 – The worse had to be there for the longest period. Ass.

Jan 10 – Feb 10 – No boss

Mar 10 – Boss 9 is nice

Jun 10 – Boss 9 quits. Boss 10 is nice as well

Aug 10 – Boss 11 as my rotation ends and I move to a business for long term

 

So 4 years of working and 10 bosses. Super.

Dazed

At times I'm a little lost. Something is on in my mind, but I have no clue what it is. Moving ahead becomes difficult coz something is holding you back. Restlessness and anxiety take over. What on earth is happening? I feel like walking alone in the night. Guess that should soothe me down... Hmm. © Zarine.

A Mid-Life start – Down Under – Part 1

I didn’t know there was a template for a blog post in MS word. In the last 2 years, an idea which was dormant in my idea for about 2 decades or so started germinating. It was mostly watered by the birth of my daughter (that sounded weird) It was about migrating to Australia. There was something about this place which allured me. It was away, self-sufficient, least bothered, aloof, didn’t give a damn and it was both ugly and pretty. It was me in a lot of ways. I started the immigration process by visiting those visa consultants (a special mention of a friend, TJ, a discussion with whom helped me narrow it down) and then over the period of the next 4-5 months struggled through the documentation process. Husband complied wherever possible, but was mostly a sleeping partner in the whole process (that’s very unlikely of him, though. As I discover much later that he played along as he wasn’t much keen on migration, but did so on my behest).  Nevertheless, half of 2014 and a...

Personal Branding

I want to separate out the word personal from branding. I think a personal brand is the moment when you start to lie. Focus first on the personal and you beat up all the competition instantly. Just being honest, being yourself, doing the work, applying the daily practice for just a few months, and your personal self will come to life more than it ever has before. You'll be honest with the people around you and that automatically beats all the competition because they’re too slick, too dishonest, too focused on their brands. You’re not focused on that anymore. When you come up with honest, sincere ideas for people, and you give rather than expecting to take, then you suddenly have separated yourself out from 99 percent of the competition. You win. And it’s that easy to do it.
