Aside from the usual frustration when people keep giving me subpar unchecked things, it makes my blood boil when someone of a leadership position decides to just let things run and tells me to "let him know" when it's done, despite him being the one owning it.
I loudly said "what an asshole" at work. (Of course behind someone's back)
I really rarely do this, if ever.
I complained to my family, who reminded me to be delicate when handling these situations.
After a nice dinner and shower I thought to myself, actually... why was i pissed off?
If someone decides not to own up to something why does that make me angry? I thought about an ex boss who has higher standards than me, worked with harder colleagues than me. And that's when it clicked, they never lost their temper. They just took it up upon themselves to fix it, and naturally the owner can't keep up with what's right and wrong and has to keep them in the know and therefore in the circle.
Is that the right way to do things instead? They did get promoted at a younger age. 能者多劳, is something I've been avoiding, is it something I should embrace?
Should I be less petty, and just suck it up to do the right thing?
Maybe not always, i really don't like these 11 -13 hour workdays, nor can I keep up with them anymore. (Pregnancy has made it harder, and frankly, I have been thinking about whether I have the right priorities in life)
I'm going to be more conscious about picking my battles and winning the war. The war of a happy, successful life.
