Today I really hated my new job..I hated the attitude of someone at my new job..being the manger of admin which has basically evolved into the controller of the company and trying to make good changes..I ran into a problem. I want to switch banks..get a better deal with a local bank and have more options with a small local bank and not have to drive in Martinez to bank which is nowhere near our location..plus I don't like Citibank very much. Last week, the new guy was all gung ho about the idea and wanted to go with me..today, he refuses to listen to the idea..the potential good that will come from switching banks, the option of having a purchasing card, better interest rates, a bank statement I can read just to name a few things..so I ask him today in a mangement/financial meeting..I thought since we were working together as a team that as a team we could all make a decision together...he told we weren't switching banks that it had come from the top, I asked who from the top, he said that it was final..which makes me think, it didn't come from the top..its his decision..not a team decision..I really wanted to leave today. I've checked with my boss in Sweden..and they don't care who we bank with as long as we follow group policy about 2 signatures on every check..but I am doublechecking that fact tonight.
I felt like this new guy..just didn't give a shit about my opinion. I don't like being shutdown for no apparent reason. I also don't understand this guy's issues..if he doesn't get accounting principles then he should go buy a book..accounting 101, accounting for dummies..something instead of pulling everyone into a meeting to tell to us he wants the profit and loss color coded and categorized (which adds more work to my plate) and he wants to define in his mind how recognized and deferred revenue work..we all knew how it worked, we tried to explain it several times in several different ways..graphs, charts, spreadsheets..
Today was a bad day..I really really wanted to just quit. 95% of the time I love this new job but lately, it seems as though my opinions do not matter. He keeps telling me how we are going to be doing the finances..I thought that was my job? I also manage the office and the IT, except he keeps telling me how to do that part of my job and then takes over anyways..what is the point of me being there if I can't make the decisions for my depts? and really did we need a new microwave, no.. I'm tired and feel like he doesn't listen and what is the point then?
Tomorrow should be better, he won't be there. if you happened to be the person that pissed me off and are reading this..this is me venting..at least I have a healthy way of venting..side note, in general I like this guy..he has backed me up on occasion to the head guy for the group, he has some great ideas to improve things and make money..but today he pissed me off.......xxx
