Work Echoes
I had two missed calls from a particular landline number with the area code coming from Manila. I was not able to answer both attempts for the 2 early mornings (3:57am and 4:39am) because I was still sleeping and it was on beep tone only. (Argh)
I learned later on when I called the number that it came from ICT Contact Centers (Not sure if it’s the correct name). I kind of forgot that I have submitted to almost 7 Call centers for a recruitment position in their company. And here it was, one call center was calling me and I forgot to answer it. Sleepy me!
Upon talking to one of the recruitment specialist there I found out that there were around 3 offices that might have called me and will be contacting all the three to see which site has plans of interviewing me. After such conversation, it’s a mixed feeling of being disappointed at me that I was a sleepy head at such an opportune time and yet excited that ICT called me, which means they might be interested in hiring me (that’s if I pass all assessments…)
Some might be wondering why apply to another company when I am almost done with my probationary period here in my company with the same position. Well, the team I’m working here is great. But as far as learning and doing things are concerned, it seems to be that there’s a block that holds me back to my full potential. I’m not saying that I am not able to spread my wings; it’s just that it seems to be a cycle again and again every month or so. The excitement is gone when you almost know both the fence of your work.
But maybe perhaps, the real reason of lacking pro-activity right now is the conflict the team is having with regards to personality differences. This seems to be a breaking point for all of us. It’s actually between 4 versus 2. I consider myself less than in betweens. I see both sides with their good and their bad, but I seem to see the instances of unfairness and the like.
It’s even hard to choose which side to go to. Every time tension is in the air I perceived it as criticism of what needs to be changed. I am an optimistic person yet with everything going on, I tend to think this will never be fixed- no matter what we will do will always be a failure.
Can there be a change in the situation? I hope so. With the new manager coming in, this might be a task too heavy to handle with the first leg of his coming but who knows. This might also be a chance to tighten the screws of some of us to get in tact again. And when I say screws, I also meant it as literal. Ciao!
