I spend 13 years in my last job @ZEISS, it gave me a lot to bring me up from an amateur graduate to a professional. But life isn’t always happy, there’re a lot of times I felt really bad that somebody made a mistake.
Now they’re experience memories, I want to write them down not for complain but notice myself not to do anything similar.
OK let’s start
About 2009, the second year & I reallocated to BJ from SH, my line manager forward a lot of advertisement about buying a flat, I can do nothing but ignore them as I can’t afford it. One day she asked me in the office if I had visited some of them & why not, I answer very honestly that I didn’t have money. She asked me 2 question which make me awkward – 1. What’s your salary? 2. Is it really as little as you said? One side I felt being admission by my boss, another hand I felt sad because she’s my manger who set the salary.
In 2011-2012, I got a chance of promotion. It said I will be acting the supervisor in next 6 month and I will be promoted, after the trial run. It’s a tough time that bring a brand new team from hiring, including the first time I fire a people. I start to complain to my line manager after 8 month, it’s a cold night on the road, we drink beer bought from 7-11, I knew it didn’t help as he’s waiting as same as me, I will be a supervisor if he can be the manger. Finally I got the promotion, it’s just a balance game from somebody, not I am not that good.
2014, I finish the 1 year assignment from Germany, back to China. It’s a hard time for me, I have to start everything from zero. And bad luck I suffer a lot. I lost my bag with personal laptop & iPad during exhibition, as an internal stupid mistake I have to pay money by myself. My manager want to compensate me even though she’s quitting, therefore she talk to her boss and told me he will handle it later. What I got is he haven’t say anything about it.
It’s not the first time I lost money from job, and I don’t think I need to be compensate, what I expected is somebody asked even falsely.
2016, after 6 month work with new manger, I found it’s not gonna work, between us. So I’m trying to find a new opportunity, internal or external. Finally I found a new position at sales team. Eventually there’re 2 global activities opening in Shanghai, and I was the owner, I organized everything even if I am not belong to the group theoretically. VP, who didn’t like me, knows I did my job & scarify in that weeks, but the director (boss of ex-manger) complain that I leave & refuse anybody. I knew why it comes, I would not blame who said it, because I knew how he lied as always. What I angry about the boss who I worked over 9 years choose to believe, I can understand he made this choice by benefit but not emotional, but how dare you said you are a warm leader & it’s a good team as family?
Was there my mistake for somehow? I think so. I am not good at communication, I didn’t fight for myself & I didn’t speak what I thought thoroughly. I was angry, sad but now it’s my experience memories, I am good & I can do better if I was in that same situation, as the victim or the boss.
At last, it’s a good job & company that I spend 13 years, I appreciate most time & people I worked with, even the people hurt me a lot. But somebody own me a sorry & I will never forgive it.
