Eversince that fateful day almost 3 years ago when a certain person who shall remain nameless just did not show up for work one day with only an email to inform the boss that he was resigning effective immediately (saying that he had been detained at home by his dad so he could take over their business, only for us to find out later that he had actually moved to his girlfriend’s company…tsktsktsk), AP’s cluster 3 has remained male-free.
And so our new band 2 boss is again another female (though her name does sound a bit masculine), and she held her first cluster meeting with us last Friday. What can I say, she really wowed us. She unveiled her plans for us…four projects that she wants us to concentrate on for the next five months till fiscal yearend. Of course, at the top of her priorities are how to meet our measures (gap to goal), but second is our work-life balance, because she said she noticed that we are all always working beyond normal hours (we call it the CNEA shift…much to our band 3’s amusement). She has next action steps and timelines and templates. We were thrilled to have direction and she was thrilled to have our support so at the end of the day, it felt great to be all on the same plate (and eating the same food on our plates too…Monster pizza).
Go cluster 3! Let’s deliver! ^^
