pag tungkol sa career ko, seryosong usapan.

sa ngayon eh panahon na ng appraisal. nde pa promotion pero more of performance evaluation. from the very first day that i came here, i made it clear na i opt to go towards the technical ladder at nde sa management. i came here with a plan, un eh i-build ang technical skills ko at i-explore ang ibang competencies like CRM, XI or BW.

then pagroll-in ko, i had the role of the interface lead. masaya naman sha kse i was so fed-up with adobe forms in augusta. interface eh something na alam ko pero mas kabisado ni mish. hehehe. so un, pero sabi ko sa lead ko i want to remain 100% productive, meaning, okay i will handle some management tasks on the side. actually what i do eh work on my developments during the day (set aside ang mgt tasks) tapos sa OT na lang ako mag-oopen ng excel sheet. hahaha. tapos lately, nag-ask ako for mgt bucket dahil nahihirapan ako magmanage ng time ko, nagsusuffer ang developments ko dahil dun ako nagchacharge ng time when coaching people and following up assignments. i was trying my very best to be the best tech lead that i would want to have. bago ako mag-assign ng development, eh tinitingnan ko ung requirements at sinasabi ko sa developer kung anu ang mga gray areas na kelangan nya iclarify. i make sure na updated ako sa ongoing issues at handa akong ipagtanggol ang team ko kung change request un at nde rework. makikipagdebate ako kay batman at robin (onshore coordinators) para dito. hehehe. pero alam ko na may times din na mahirap maglead, minsan i have to be very candid to say ang mga overestimations nila. ako ang kelangan mag-approve eh at in the end ako magjujustify kung bakit ganun ang hours that we need. hai. ayun ang ayaw kong part.

pero i can't help but be proud with my team right now. i have the best people in interface - all boys at please note na ako ang pinakabata. hehehe. mababait silang lahat, magagaling magcode at they know when to shut up. sabi nga nila, im a very transparent person. alam nila when to approach me and kung kelan nde. hehehe. alam nila kung kelan ako bad trip at kung kelan ako jolly. they know me pretty well actually.

so going back to the management bucket, i took it back. i told my former lead i wont ask for it anymore 'cause i might end up getting management tasks all the time. that's the problem, i don't know when to say no. kaya okay na ung walang management hours, a good alibi not to accept mgt tasks. hahaha.

honestly, im back to my old self. now that purvin's out of the picture, im hating the managment.

i hate shrek - hello? anong ginagawa mo araw-araw? binasa ko ang project plan na ginawa mo at walang kakwenta-kwenta. kulang kulang at basic english! walang sinabi sa previous project plans na mg previous project ko.

i hate the - for some reason nde ko sha feel. nde gentleman at kung makapagreject ng proposal napakarude. eto pa, mahilig sha magblame ng tao.

my new lead - nde ko pa alam ma-assess for now, she's trying her very best to adapt which is good, sana maging vibes kame in the end. one thing's for sure though - nde nya kayang contrahin ang managers. oo lang sha ng oo, nde katulad ni purvin na alam nya when to say no.

goodluck sa akin. napakacynic ko talaga when it comes to management. i don't want to be a part of it, not now. in 5 years time ko tatahakin ang management ladder, pero for now, i will concentrate sa technical.
