As some would had noticed, over the last few days, I had been scrambling to clear the shit and obviously, it did not goes too well. And today, my boss send me a mail.
"I am not impressed with the preparation and with so many defects not rectified...."
Wow... for the first time in my working career, my boss had been very critical towards my performance. Indicating the flaws in my arrangement and resulted all these last minute arrangements.
Let look back on 14 Sep, in order to ensure timely re-delivery of the vessels, me had clearly send out a mail to a fellow for HOTO purposes, indicating what needs to be done. Sadly, what I see on 22 Sep onboard, nothing is done. So I called my boss, asked him about who had taken care of this, what had been done ... or rather, why was it not done!!! "Explanation" from my boss.... basically, that fellow is "busy". Wonder what his definition of busy. Cos went through the vessel DPR, that fellow only stays onboard for 2 hours (1100hr to 1300hr). So where to hell he been to after that? He only flew there on Friday, but nothing was done on last two days???
For now, I am faulted for the ill preparation.. Guess this is the support they had preached all these while. Really really sianz liow!!!
Just a thing to add... he had also commented the way I managed my guys, feeling that I am too harsh and rigid. I should change it in order to make them work, since they determine my success and they had not been very receptive towards my style. So is this suppose to be a proposal for me to change or a threat that I am destined for failure if I continue?
Maybe he did not noticed that the entire team had not been well accepted by others and his style of management had draw questions marks from others as well. Overly protective and the guys are not performing. So is his style suppose to be better and I should follows?
Conclusion... Don't think I can work with him for too long liow.
