She did it again!

First, she "tricked" me into a section that was not what they promised. Now, they try to do that to my new staff, without discussing with myself and the team (well, at least me).

"Hi XXX, let me introduce, this is my new girl, YYY."
"Hi YYY, welcome to Finance. Do you mind if we transfer you to other section than in AP?"
(Both of us were dumbfounded and didn't know how to react)
"Sorry Denise, I have yet got the time to tell you."
"You're kidding me right?"
"No."
"Let me get back to you on this issue again."

How would you feel if you were recruited and promised to be in a section that precisely you accepted the offer because you like the idea, and now on your very first day, your very first meeting with the Director and you were told to transfer to another section where you have no idea what the other section's dealing with at all.

This is unfair. The poor new staff would be in a difficult stand to reject no matter how much he/she detest the decision. And me, as the team leader, the direct reporting officer of the new staff felt cheated for my staff, the team and myself.

The team have been desperately looking for a replacement for almost a year and the workload is already unbearable even during the time when the manpower is "adequate", not to mention the bad situation now. After so long, we have finally found a suitable candidate and now this stupid selfish decision from the Director just because 3 staff from another section resign one after another recently.

Why is it so that the other sections can enjoy the privilege of not going through the tough time and hassle of recruitment just because the manager-in-charge is the "pet" of the Director? Ever since my first day at work, they have been telling me that AP is the core job that every finance staff should know and now what? If it's that fundamental, why take us for granted?

I understand the critical needs of the other section from the situation they're in, but this can't be the way. You cannot take the brick that's supposedly for the next apartment for the current apartment. And why is it so that the turnover is always high for that section? Did the management seriously thought about it rather than just assuming that it's all the workload that's driving their staff away.

I am seriously disappointed with the department, and I really understand how my girl felt at that point.

This lovely gift from "" made me smiled abit. =)
