Job Description: Management Staff Executive
Actual Job Field: Personnel Trouble Shooter/Problem Solver/Special Assistant to the Publisher/Vice President
This is how difficult my job is, whenever I work for my dad's company. My decision making capabilities can change the fate of an employee, or the direction of the business will take. Whenever I talk to young managers like me, who handle their family business, they would always say its better to be an employee rather than to be an employer with all the powers residing in you.
And we're facing a big inter-department problem right now. Some staffs of the editorial department is having trouble dealing with the Finance Manager. It seems like the finance manager had some personal vendetta with this department to the point that they had asked me to intervene in their behalf.
I attended their informal meeting this aftertoon to personally hear the issues that we will have to discusss on a top-level meeting that I will schedule tomorrow. It seems like this has become a very serious threat to the harmony of the office and whatever outcome we will have from tomorrow's meeting will have a significant effect on how the company system works.
Intrigues always happen in companies - big or small, I may be immune to it but when people starts to harbor ill feelings to one another, troubles start to appear.
I just hope I can moderate well the showdown between the managers tomorrow.
... And I think I should buy another of those Chinese Lucky Charms who "sucks" negative energy from people that I found in Chinatown last January.
I gave one of those to the other office and those things really work!

I am here in megamall to join my ex-housemates date this evening. It's been eons since I last saw my unica hija, Sealdi. Remembering our housemate days...
Miss ko pa rin yung mga ginagawa namin sa couch kapag wala si James. Heehee.
