My Leader is Stressing Me Out!

This week was so tough and one of the reasons is because they fired my current team leader and they had to make major changes on our team.

I was surprised to know that they had to fire my team leader due to his inconsistent performance. Even though I felt like he deserves that since the team is suffering because of him, he helps me a lot when I'm still starting.

A week ago, they have to shuffle the team. I am transferred to a new team leader. They already warned us that this person is very strict but I also heard a lot of good things about him. I ignored all the negative things that I heard about him until I experienced how he manages his team.

It took me a week to realize what they meant about him being strict. No doubts, he is a good leader. He makes sure that he is providing enough information and that we truly understand the project that we are working on.

However, there are times that I felt dumb. He always points out about your mistakes to the point that he needs to call you just to ask why such a thing happens.

" I already told you about this earlier, why did you still do this "
" I already draw your instruction, why the output comes differently "

I'm burnout.

It feels like even if you did great you're always end up being scolded for that one mistake. Well, I'm not new to this. I've been in the corporate world for a couple of years and I've met a lot of people with different attitudes. You just have to learn how to deal with them.

The good side.

The good thing about my new team leader is he is pushing me to my limit. The more I felt like I am not giving my 100%, the more I strive harder to attain the quality of work that he wants which my previous can't do. He made me stay inside of my comfort zone knowing that I still got more to improve.

I noticed that the quality of my work improved versus the quality of my performance from my past team and now I am the top employee for this month. Truly all the hard works pay off.

If you reach this part. Thanks for reading my article and I hope you're all doing well.
keep safe!
