what did i something wrong

Hot 2560 views. 2015-8-20 22:42 | something, secretary, documents, actually, running

   I felt a little tired during the past these days, every day I need to copy with all kinds of reports or documents. I hated these from the bottom of my heart because my mainly responsibility was to make sure the machinery running in good condition, not as a secretary in the office handling the endless reports every day, but, actually, every day, the most of time I spent was sitting in front of the desk to make or reply the report or e-mails to customer or boss from different departments. I didn’t know how long I will stay in the position of the company. But, I need to stick to do it before a good chance I found.
    Maybe, the negative attitude toward the work affected me in some cases, I did a not so wise answer when my boss asked me if I would like to be a manager as his back-up which transferred from a technical position. Almost, I replied the question ‘no’ without any hesitation and explained why I didn’t like that. Obviously, my boss was a little disappointed about my response. Actually, at that moment, I did what I would like to express not hiding the truth. But, now, recalling what I did today, maybe I said something wrong, if I wanted to get a raise or promotion I should say ‘yes’. Anyway, I didn’t regret about what I did.

In certain stages of our lives, we all need to adjust and change our personal attitude. You would have to adjust your attitude and thoughts too in order to match your present position and status.

There is no ideal job in this world. Every job has it's own positive and negatives sides. Even I own my company and decide for myself what work I need to do, I quite often want to throw down everything and get away from it all. I often think why not just go out and earn a monthly salary instead of taking on such a heavy responsibility and risk. Everyone's has his own temper, forgiveness and boiling point. We must know how to control and adjust accordingly.

Everyone has his own specialty or skill and would certainly like to apply these skills to our job. Quite often the jobs we hold disregard our abilities and they assign irrelevant work to us permanently. When that happens, we would feel wasted and under-utilized. We won't be happy in such a job. Quite often it is not your fault. It is the company's fault when they fail to use human resources to the benefit of the employee and employer.

About your boss offer inviting you to be his managerial backup, you don't have to take your refusal so seriously or regret it. That could be an empty or fake proposal as it is quite common for bosses to give empty proposals to employees just to keep them on the job. Anyway, you are sick and tired of all the irrelevant work given to you and the administrative inadequacy of your company, so it is normal to give a frustrated response. Nothing to regret about. Perhaps, your future is elsewhere. Since you are yet uncertain about your future in this company, so it is better to keep steering your ship until you see land.

Sunnyv has explained well, what is more I just want say that you have done enough for what you are now doing, before going for another position, you just stay and observe, usually to endure something is also a ability to survive.
