I posted this from my other blog...but I just want to post it again... kasi tuwing naaalala ko si Lolo (Uma)... kumukulo talaga ang dugo ko. Here's what happened last Thursday.

My boss talked to me regarding my resignation. It really didn't go well. He called me unprofessional because I'm leaving so soon.

AMF...

Look... I told him about my whole Canada thing 2 months ago... did he do anything?! Did he recruit new people in our department? We used to be 5 in our department (2 web designers, and 3 mobile application designers, but all of us are graphic artists... so I'm one of the mobile app designers — we call ourselves MADs).

Anyway, one of the MADs left just last month. So 2 na lang kami. 1 of the web designers left rin and joined the ex-MAD who just left last month. So now we're down to 3. I told HIM about my situation 2 friggin' months ago. But did he do something about it? Like... I don't know... maybe find my replacement? Maybe... let me train some of the designers here for our sister company... make them do some real designing instead of just deleting the backgrounds of teddy bear images?!

Yes. Believe it or not... that's just what they do. Imagine, Winnie The Pooh. There are series of images of Winnie... I think it's about 16 images max... Winnie turned 360 and every image is one angle of him just sitting in the middle of a pedestal... of some friggin studio. Now... these designers use the ERASER tool in Photoshop to delete the white background... actually... DELETE everything except Winnie. This includes skill as well because Winnie's fur must stay intact. Thou shall maintain the fur. Thou shall maintain the illusion of fur.

That's not all. This is just one batch of images. Next batch... Eeyore. Next... Piglet. LOL. The whole gang! Not just Winnie and the gang. There are all sorts of teddy bears and teddy animals. I edited a teddy rat. LOL. There are teddy dolphins... teddy cows... teddy bird. ???

Enough with the teddy stuff. So... instead of them wasting their skills on teddy stuff. Why not give them real work right?! After I told Uma (coz he looks just like UMA) my situation, my direct supervisor told me to prepare training documents. And that's what I did. Still... no replacements to train. He seems to be calm.

I thought I could give my resignation now and leave the company by January... that was my first plan. But everything seemed to happen too fast... things change... many factors to consider... I have to leave ASAP. I know it's my fault... I know I should have passed my resignation paper last month maybe. But I didn't know that things would not go my way. Plans do change. And it's not like I have a choice whatsoever. I cannot control this.

But then... UMA tells me... "No... I'm tired of this... you should've done this... that... we don't have a replacement you should know... it's not organized and you should have done this... and that..."

It's MY FAULT that your company is sooo disorganized? It's MY FAULT you don't have an honest to goodness HR department? And that you depend on your secretary and receptionist to do the recruiting for you? Because you have no money to invest on a real HR person?

I told him, "Sir are YOU blaming ME for the recruitment..." -- then he cut me off... sensing probably that it was not my fault.

Damn right it's not my fault. What an ass!!!

He had all the time to find a replacement... but did he budge? And now he's blaming me why everything is so fucked up and now he has to find a replacement. HELLO!!! EARTH TO UMA. Shouldn't you have thought of that 2 months ago??? And now you're telling me I'm not even thinking about the company? Call me unprofessional if I mentioned the visa when I just handed my resignation paper. Call me insensitive. Call me a fuckin bitch if you want for being so inconsiderate. But I told you this a long time ago and now I'm a bitch!?!?

FINE!

He's blaming me why I won't have time to train one of the teddy bear designers. He's blaming me for those people out there without jobs not having any interest whatsoever to replace me. He's blaming me for the last minute recruitment problem. He's blaming me why his world will suddenly be doomed. Awww... touching. But no... you said so many things and you turned out to be a hypocrite. It's only understandable why so many people want to leave you and the company.

BITCH! Can't you see a lot of your employees are leaving you because YOU are a hypocrite. You say I'm unprofessional? When you did not give my friend a bonus just because she's resigning from work? When it was already stated in the contract that you should give her the bonus if she completed her goals for the month? But no.. you're logic is so twisted and fucked up... she left without that PROMISED bonus. Not just promised... but AGREED UPON. He did not follow his own contract. Now who's unprofessional!?!?

Now I just can't wait to leave you and your sorry ass.

He wants his people to be efficient when he himself is not. 6 of my projects are pending. I finished them in time. But where are they?! STATUS: Waiting for validation. Who should validate? HIM. He and his bloody right-hand manager...crap. I won't even know if those projects will ever succeed. I won't even see them get published... if ever they get approved.

But he relies on me for those projects because no one else knows how to do them. Themes... videos... wallpapers... animated wallpapers... mobile flash applications... now where the fuckin hell are they? You just won't get inspired anymore if these people are not doing their job as well. You just won't get inspired to do another project (even if you just don't have a choice) because you know... at the back of your mind... you feel that these projects just won't push through.

2 of my projects that I worked on for 1 1/2 months were thrown away. Why? It turns out we don't have the license to use Cosmopolitan logo. Idiots!!!! They should have made sure that we can use the fuckin logo first. RIGHT?! Stupid....

Enough. Bad trip talaga. Sa sobrang inis ko nong day na yun, I did not send my End-of-the-Day Report, where I state what tasks I have finished for the day. Fuck! Eh wala naman ako ginawa talaga eh. Except meeting up with him... and then meeting up with my direct supervisor alone, venting on what's sooo fuckin wrong with Uma. Nagbuhusan kami ng sama ng loob namin sa isa't isa about Uma. Pano. Wala siyang kwenta!

I don't care what happens to him. I will do my part because naaawa ako don sa papalit saken. Pero sa kanya, wala nako pakialam sa kanya. Aalis ako sa end of December. And that's it. Gagawin ko ang lahat ng makakaya kong gawin para matrain ung papalit saken. After that--GOOBYE.
