Boss Faith In Me
I was asked to update my boss personal contact list book recently as she was complaining that the staff assigned the task was doing the updating too slowly. I heard from my boss that she had asked that person to help her with the updating since 2007, but to date, she has not done very much.
As I was quite new to the company, having joined in March last year, I was quite happy to help as it is actually my lax period for the time being as the tax filing documents have not come in yet. I got the input documents from that person. I thought the list was not properly updated thus explaining why my boss was fuming mad with that person. I managed to update the whole thing in about 2 weeks.
Little did I expect that the person told my bosses that Paul messed up the whole updating process. Fortunately for me, I have kept my boss and manager in the loop about the progress that i had been doing about this task. I suspected that the list that the person didn't give me a true copy of the list she updated in the first place.
Fortunately, my boss had the faith in me. She trusted that I had done my part. I guess keeping them in the loop is very useful lesson that I have learnt since the previous lessons from the previous firms. It shows that my boss is a very fair person and don't practise favourtism unlike my previous boss.
