Looking back at the previous post, hoo boy, it's been a while. November till now would make it...about 9 months. So much has happened.
So much.
Let me try to put everything down in this post. Or a few posts coming. I should be scared that if i don't finish writing everything down, i might leave another few gaps, huh.
...but i think i am in the mental state to be writing down what has happened, and reflecting on it.
So here we go.

I didn't manage to write it down last time although it had already happen by October but my department had a major re-organisation of roles and tasks for mostly everyone not in the higher management tier. The general consensus of the re-org, how it was done and the result of it, is larger negative. A lot of people are affected quite badly.
...and my team pretty much took the worst kind of damage.
The "leader" position was handed to a person widely believed to be the worst kind of person you'll ever want to work with. Initially i was still fine with how the person behaved but as the tasks piled on, i had multiple opportunities to see how the person is.
Imagine you have someone who is a lot less competent than you in every imaginable way, somehow still manage to be put in a management role and yet, still believe themselves to be the better.
(Later we found out it was because there was no other eligible candidates. Not sure how to feel, or am i supposed to feel, about it.)
So there was quite a bit of rage built up over the months. I should say that after almost 10 months of the new structure, we haven't had a team meeting since January (These meetings were supposed to at least take place once a month).
...gone a little bit far ahead. So i am returning to...December?

December was hectic and honestly did not have a "Holiday" feeling to it. People were busy with handing over and taking over of information and tasks to their counterparts. I was a bit lucky in the sense that i don't hand over much...but i took over a lot (Fast forward: I am really multi-skilled now! In addition to my usual Patch Management, Storage and Vulnerability Management, i also learnt and picked up skills relating to Active Directory and Exchange) new tasks and responsibilities. I am okay with it though, since i already planned to leave once i get into teaching and the education sector. So i just took it without saying much.
Wish i could say the same for my other teammates.
A few of them complained and a few of them stayed silent.
...but one immediately decided to transfer and burnt a hell lot of bridges to do so.
(At this point, i realized that i had beef with this one guy that happened last October. While there are some details of this conflict that should be made clear in order to paint the person correctly, i decided that the incident was just a bunch of bad things that happened to me and i ain't gonna talk about it since i feel my blood boiling every time i remembered).
As a result, we were dealing with a sudden confusion in roles plus there was an urgency to prepare for an upcoming event that needs a lot of attention.
Welp, no point talking about that. I don't believe in giving attention to people with malicious intentions. Eh.

Nah, i can't write everything down in one post. I'm going to continue next time, whenever it may be.
See ya...and take care.
