The Circle of Office -
I am a Bitch (not in general)
I am my boss' bitch.
My boss is their manager's bitch.
The manager is the vice president's bitch.
The VP is the CEO's bitch.
The CEO is the bitch to all the stake holders.
Instead of bitching about this situation, I try to be the best bitch I possibly can be (excuse the expression).
When
it comes to working in an office, we are confined to cubicles
physically and to the manager’s invisible boundaries. Learn to live and
learn to grow.
If you signed up to swim in a pond, do not complain
that it is not as challenging as swimming in an ocean. If you signed up
to swim in the ocean, do not complain that it is not as predictable as a
pond.
Do the best you can. Learn to use the currents. Do not work against them.
If you do, you will fail and a new swimmer can replace you.
One should be replaced for sucking at ones job, not for trying to make a work place better.
Update - Well, this is what I thought, till I worked at Amazon and Porch. When I worked with a great boss, I was myself and it felt great. I was happy.
No, I don't want to be a bitch in any sense. Not anymore.
