stories in my office

In my company, it is very hard to buy something. If you want to buy something, you have to apply then pass to manager to sign (this is not difficult at all), then get approval from finance manager and boss (the toughest). I spent above 3 months to get approval to buy 1 extension cord which is only RM19.

  2 weeks before Raya, The HR manager borrows the extension cord from one of my colleague. My colleague doesn’t want to borrow her then ask me to borrow. I don’t know her purpose for lending the extension cord at that time but I knew it after I came back from Raya Holiday and I have to take it back from her because I have an event in UTAR PJ next Wed. The extension cord that my department bought is for event purpose. Therefore, I email her with a good manner, for telling her that I have to take it back from her by late next Tues. How I know she doesn’t want to return it to me and asked me to borrow from others. I was so upset honestly because:
1. She is misusing her authority to “order” me to borrow the extension cord from others seem she don’t want to do so. (It’s hard for us to borrow from others seem all of us also wanna use it some more she tried it before and she knew it is hard to borrow from people)
2. She is using my extension cord for her own purpose in her office
3. The way she talks to me is seem like talking to the slave

I don’t like to “pai ma pi” , so I replied her email and asked her to apply one seem she need it or else borrow by herself not me. She angry me. She called me to her office and scolded me and push all the “not-a –mistake” to me and treat me like I did all wrong. I tried to defend myself but she is too strong to fight back and stop me. At last, I told myself not to quarrel with her seem she return the extension cord to me (old 1 and not the new 1 that I bought). I walked in to my office, some of the colleague knew it. They came to me and console me. Finally, I cried. I cried because of their love. Though I fear and scare when I have to confront with the manager, but I didn’t cry.. Yet, I cried in front of the colleague because of their love and concern…I didn’t tell my manager, I straight   go to toilet and cry..When I came out, my manager asked..Then only I know my colleague inform my manager that I was bullied by the HR manager. My manager was so angry her because she told my manager that it is just a small case, she won’t find me etc. Yet she did it to me without letting my manager know. He was so angry and he also taught me not to be so weak. He asked me to fight back because if I didn’t, she will revenge me again when he is not in the office. (Honestly, when my manager asked me to tell him what had happened, I cried immediately. He asked me to sit down and relax first. That time I think my manager is a good listener and good problem solver. He knows girls so well.) Is this called the Office’s war?

Honestly, I was so sad and scare. On the way back home, my tears can’t stop flowing out form my eyes. When I went in to the car, I cried it out and loud. After crying, I told myself that everything will be ok.

Luckily at night, I have the chance to join the preparation of mooncake festival celebration in Chinese Church. The preparation help me in forgetting some part of the “sad” story temporary and I was enjoy doing the preparation with the team.. =) Thank God. Let me show you some pics…

Today, I pray to God that I will have a happy day in Office. I pray that the HR manager will not revenge seem my manager is not around. Honestly, I still scare. How I going to release my fear? I have to draw my attention to other things which is listen to music and stop listening to the world’s speak. =P haha.. I did it. I just put on my headphone, focus on the music and my task in hand. =)
