Dear Anita :

Sorry it has been some days since i posted. Well work has been crazy hectic. Lots of stuff are happening – some are good some are not so good but all of them are keeping me very very busy. So i have completely buried myself in work. There is lot of office politics happening too so im just trying to my image clean and been focusing on my work.

At home i spend time with my 5 yo nephew and i do gyming and remaining free time i spend with mom dad. Since i work US hours, i get quite good time during the day to spend with them. And kids are surely one of best way to distract the mind and gyming helps in keeping that negative energy at bay.

Strange thing though – my friend’s husband texted me the other day telling me about her delivering baby girl. Not wanting to sound rude, i simply replied Congrats and thats all. For that moment my mind did go back to all that and i did think that why he texted me randomly out of the blue and that too aftr full 6 days of her actual delivery. but i quickly distracted myself and focused back on work.

Anyways, wanted to let you know im allowing myself time to heal..Picked up Violin classes too..(wanted to learn Piano though but it is way too expensive and Guitars are clichè now 😉 )..So the process of Moving on is under progress :–d

How things have been at your end?

Dear Anita :

Yup..but i have a feeling it wasnt him texting. I have a feeling it was Her trying to get in touch..Since she has blocked me everywhere and im sure she wil be missing me too. Cz i never recieved any response of My Congrats..Normally you would say Thank You but nope no response at all and i was like Wow..Impolite much??!!! hahaha

Anyways i now have a bigger problem to deal with. One of my employee wants to leave due to health issues and instead of talking to me she went directly to HR. Her resignation has been accepted though bt she dsnt want to serve the 60 days notice period. So here comes emotional blackmail – She is texting me sad stuff at freaking 5 in morning..!! I told her exception in notice period is HR outlook so you talk to them as i cant do anything here. Then this girl same day at 3 in night keeps a status  that reads- “Its a life and death situation for me. Maybe i will be no more after some days and ppl behind this will Pay..!! ”

I was like wtf, are you really threatening me..!!So i reported all this to HR and submitted a copy of all texts she sent me. I told them that if this girl takes any wrong decision, i should Not be held responsible as i have no control over your policies and your decisions.

So we have a meeting today with my VP abt how to deal with this girl.

This girl is junior and have just started her career..And i was like why the F you are after spoiling my name and career.? You wana leave, leave. No one is stopping you but sending sad/emotional texts to ur manager at freaking 5 in morning and keeping threatening statuses is way too much now.

Good thing though is my brother is a big shot in same company as me.I took him in confidence and told him about all this. He assured me he will protect me in case all this comes on Me

So yeah talk about office politics…lololol 😉

Dear Anita :

Employees are briefed but here people specially girls believe in too much melodrama. Kinda like attention seeking tactic. Anyways we have found loop holes in her story as she has told HR a different story. HR is pissed as she has been bluffing on their name. So monday HR is gonna meet her amd set things straight.

As for the former friend? I do agree lines were blurred there and we never saw each other as Manager/Junior. Well im not gonna dwell much on that cause whats happened, happened. Me and her both are at fault.

But yeah, when (if) she comes back, strictly professional with her and that too wont be an issue as we both are in different teams. And more over i have the project to focus on as i do want that next level for myself atleast by Feb 2020 🙂

Dear Anita :

Yup…i personally hate all the drama. So whenever someone plays this game, i make my work so strong and good that high mgt cant find any fault in me. And im fiercely protective of my goodwill at work. So i dont take anyone threatening it lightly. Now i dont resort to dramatic/cheap attention seeking tactics but I work so good then, that everyone has to accept that Im a better employee.

Game is a bit different as this is first time im playing role of People’s manager but im learning evryday and using those lessons to become a good manager and a leader 🙂

Dear Anita :

So weird thing – my friend’s husband sends me request on fb. I didnt accept it though. I then logged in to my instagram.(which is my new acc) There i see he blocked me but my friend hasnt..!!!

Dear Anita :

Yup…thats why i didnt accept his request. Although this is beyond my understanding that why block me on one and send me request on another? Also my friend still hasnt blocked. This is getting super weird now and i really dont know whats going on..!!!

Dear Anita ;

Yup…i ignored his request and blocked him instead. Sure..Its almost mid night in India and im gonna dose off soon. you have a good rest of the weekend 🙂
