Office politics was never something that I thought it would be involved in, let alone draw sword with someone.
To cut short, the same story below, I explained it to her some that most of the things she viewed of me was invalid, dis dis tat tat yada yada...still she refuse to listen to me. Boom suddenly, she bombarded me with an extremely negative feedback as if I was like totally uncooperative, not responsible, low quality, no standard. Even though I have already explained to her what she felt was wrong.
Some example was like she said that client had a busy schedule, and that I didn't manage his time properly, as a result, I DRAGGED the engagement time to be much more than expected. The truth is that I nv once breach any of the time frame, she or the senior set. I even was rushing the senior to review my work, something I haven done before for the whole of my life in EY. Review point was cleared immediately once the senior return her comments to me.
The most memorable one was that the SM was flying off for a trip, and senior said to clear by wed, so that we dun have to face partner ourselves. I chased the client the whole day on monday, client said he was offsite, jokingly said to meet at 7pm instead. I said "OK", which gave the client a shock. In the end, he couldn't make it for 7pm, and asked for 7.30am next morning, which I promptly agreed and met him the next day to clear my work.
I pushed and rushed so much for the case, and in the end I DRAGGED the engagement. WOW AMAZING...HOW FACTUAL is that
SM said that I double standard her work, and I didn't check A while I did for another manager. Usually we checked for B & C for all work, while A was not covered because risk is small. I did A once because the manager on the job specifically asked me to do it, because it was an insurance firm, we needed to cover more. Fine, with instructions I would check. So she asked me how come I didn't do A, what I understand is that usually we do not check for A but only B & C. Than she say me double standard her.
WTF. If you wanted me to do SAY lar...else how the hell would I know if you want to do or not.
The worst was that the senior's not even defensive of me and of course Nick another associate when she understands all that I have done. It's such a disappointment because I never tot that she was this kind of person, but I guess, I can only say that people are just hard to tell.
Some people are just fcuked up by default.

Today, I got scolded during work for nuts sakeBasically I was asked to document what client say because he's a sly person, so in order to do that, I sent an email with very simple fundamental questions so that when client reply yes or no, I can use the email as an audit evidence. Then my manager came to scold me for asking such simple questions, and she said that the questions should have been answered at the start of the audit. I already knew the answer but I was just asking to document the client's reply.
Than I got scolded for sending too much email, when I only sent like 1 email. Just because the client said that we should be consolidating emails before sending him, and my colleague who was also sending email (2 emails). Come on lar, we are doing different things and at different site, the fastest would be to consolidate our own request and send rite? If we consolidate ourselves, it would probably take much longer. Besides, client's just kb at like 3 emails...and my manager didn't even want to find out more on the story.
Then I got scolded again for not finding out more on some remote access issues. It's like I am just a puny new guy and that I haven did before, of course I wouldn't have covered the part. She said that this should be basic that should already been covered.
And I was accused of double standard such as providing more coverage and depth for another manager and not hers. I mean come on lar...it's cause it was requested by the other manager lar. You didn't even say anything, of course I dunno what standard you want rite? It's like the senior never say also, than when she said, I clear her review pt, you came and scold me how come I nv ask initially? Worst id despite coughing and coughing, I chased the client day and night to complete ur engagement, When client couldn't make it for office hours, I volunteer to meet at 7pm and 7.30 am. Double standard my ass...
Moral of the story is, dun assume we know what you want and understand our story before you state your stand. And it's not worth it to waste my time and energy to cover more for managers who assumes everything out of their way.

Welcome to 2010!!Anyway, the year didn't started out too well as I was falling sick from eating too much fried food and sleeping late watching 终极一家. It's quite a cock show, interesting though.Now my whole body is like aching with sore throat..
Had a pretty relaxing Christmas and New Year celebration. No fancy parties, just me and my baby accompanying each other at home :) Lovely day. We went for walk in Orchard to see the christmas lightings...nice but not spectacular though.
Try to upload photos, but the collage is 2.75 MB, too big...thus, shall upload the a nice decent picture of us :)
I have never set any resolution because I don't believe in them. Most resolution are probably broken anyway at the end of the year and you set them again next year...
I just hope that everyone's happy and healthy this year, especially my baby :) I pray that your peak will be easy on you. You have me along to battle the storm, dun worry :)
And I pray that we can all discover what we want in life, especially in work so that all these tough audit times will be easier to endure. It sucks to go through some tough period when you dun even think it's worth doing so.
