Incessant ramblings of a young manager

I recalled 2 years ago when I stepped into UBS, I told myself that I have to work hard, I cannot be as slack as I was in Shell and I wanna be a Line Manager or team lead within 2 years. Oh well, those were the days when my enthusiam and drive was over spilling; Being able to manage a team seemed so cool...

2 years later today, I got my wish. Do I feel COOL? MY FOOT!
I feel enslaved, mistreated and abused.
Managing people is a darn horrid thing, let alone to lead a team of 4 with completely diverse background.

Introducing my team members......

Ms Complain Queen -- My right-hand woman. Been in the bank for almost a decade. Great client servicing skills. Even better complain skills. Draws the line clear & distinct. Darts off promptly at 530pm.

Mr Yes -- My headache. Takes foreveeeeeeerrrrrr to complete a simple task. Likes to nod his head and say yes. But actually what he meant was "I don't understand". Needs to exercise preseverence when dealing with him. LOADS & HEAPS of perseverence, if not he could have been slashed by me big time. God Bless me.

Ms Vainpot -- My left-hand woman in trg. Newbie. Not much comments. Pray hard that she is up to mark....ASAP

Ms Lovey Dovey -- Love No. 1, food No. 2, work No. 3.

What's so fun about managing pple?
