The Extended Meeting

Scared. Most of us are.
Arguements. They're not fights.
Equality. It should be practised rather than preached.

So, I was at a meeting where we're talking about handovers since I have this new contract at work for another project. Everything was going well until Moby(my big boss) said I would be known as 'transition team assistant' on document. That woke me up. Then, it scared me cos my big boss was doing something that is not in my favor.

First of all, yes, it's true my boss does have the right to do this and his intention was good actually. During my working with PR for six months, I was made an 'assistant analyst' and that was something I was proud of. Now, if this is not documented, nobody will know and my resume won't look pretty. His concern was the fact that I might not get paid as much as an analyst assistant could get, but treated like one. My concern was my future. I do need this referral indicated document that said I actually did some work. So, the meeting went on for like the next 30 minutes with me and Moby arguing about this. I guess rank does matter more to me, than money. This was something that could boost my future work.

Moby asked me to come out to the balcony with him after this meeting. He was smoking but we had a nice talk. I couldn't tell if he was being sincere since he lacks honesty really. I mean, for someone who said he loves transperancy on the last day of work, it's just a bit hard to absorb things he say as positive things to take for granted. He said I'm the most honest staff he's had and he was glad we got to have this open discussion. The chat went on and I was pretty generous when I told him he is one of those bosses I feel brave to give feedbacks to, be it positive or negative, despite the fact that he would react to them or not. Finally, we agreed on a double TOR (Terms of reference). So now I will be handover to this new project as both ranks.

Boss was impressed that I spoke up for myself. Little does she know, she's a huge inspiration at work and how I worship her courage. Also, I treated my big boss, Moby, as equal as I could. People talk about equality but they never seem to actually mean it. Isn't it even ironic Mardi gras just passed? hahaha... yes yes yes I'm proud to be gay but I'm also proud that straight people are existent and just because a retard beats up my friend, I hate their types. So, yeah, equality.... always make sure u have it measured! :)
