Third weeks into being a boss to over 30 staffs and I’m already feeling the stress of it. Having to keep an eye on their leaves, their where about, or if they have applied their leaves after absent from work. Having to solve some of their interpersonal relationship problems with other staff *sigh*. I’m really not good in being a boss.
I don’t even notice if a staff is missing in their place till the next day they sent in their leave application. Let me know if you need to go out to fetch your kid, I’ll just say: “Ya, go ahead.” But I never question if they really do. I guess I trust my staff. I trust that they are individual adults that know how to solve their own problem.
There is one staff that has been sick and have taken up all her sick leave last year. There are times that she is just being “sick” with some other personal commitment and yet she still provide me with MC slip. I will just take it as long as she is doing her work.
I know there are staff that gone missing during office hour, but who wouldn’t? To me, they were just taking a short break. At the end of the day, they’ll still need to record down their daily statistics, they’ll still need to proof that they have been working.
I know there are bosses that need to know every single things that the staff did, where the staff are. I don’t think I can do that, it would be too much work and stress for myself. I would rather leave them alone, get to know them on their work performances and let them know that I appreciate their existence.
I think all of us here are lack of exercises, we have been sitting in our chairs, facing the computer for the whole day except lunch hour and maybe during tea time. However I’m sure none of my staff are into weight loss pills, they are some happy people here though they do complain about their appearances.
