It wasn't particularly a good today at work.
Being on-call for one of the top IT companies in the world, handling heavy-duty applications and being responsible for it is not breezy. It is one aspect of my job that I love. Everyday, it is challenging. But days like today brought me down instantly. Even my manager knew I wasn't up to my usual beat.
I got escalated for a silly reason by a man known for his unreasonable demands. It is something I am accustomed to, but I feel the whole drama is unfair. He was merely flexing his muscles for having a Senior Manager position. I was the victim.
However, I do not understand why I wasn't being confronted directly? He did not even make the attempt to approach me and seek my explanation. Instead, he used the top-down approach which definitely ticked me off.
As I packed my bags to leave on time today, my director approached me to find out whether everything is ok with me. I just smiled and walked away. There is nothing for me to explain. It stirs more anger in me when I think about it.
