回首那天我的举措

My supervisor turned from a devil into an angel. Can you believe it? And since then my remote work for the employer became a blessing, and I felt more and more comfortable, and fell in love with this job, that I stopped sending out job applications, and lost my restless interests in the fluid changing job adverts.

That day was a windy, cloudy cold day. It was Wednesday. I had to stay indoors, not in the veranda as before.

I moved my work desk in, and faced the wall in front of me. I suddenly became upset with the administration manager, who is my direct supervisor, for sending me a message via Teams, that she wished to discuss the file notes, the previous immigration lawyer, who did not provide to us.

I was furious and frustrated. This woman kept on pressing me recently over lots of things. I particularly hated her interfering my management of the migration cases. She promised many times to me, that she would not micro-manage the cases, but that was repeated in words only, while in practice, she just did what her whims drove her.

She had discussed this consultation with the Sydney based lawyer at least twice, face to face with me, during my site visit at their workshop.

She said I should consult the lawyer, but she added that the company was not happy to pay the extra fee, due to this consultation.

I did not want to consult this lawyer. Since you dismissed this lawyer and left the job to me, you should trust me, and let me continue the job. Not keeping on asking me to consult this dismissed lawyer with payment. But I said to myself only, not to her explicitly.

I was not aggressive when encountering people’s hinted insult, especially to my supervisor. But she simply went on pressing me on this issue. I understand that I failed to convinced her of my competency to do the job. But saying is different to doing. I am confident in successfully getting the welders’ visa granted. I just need extra time to review the files and picked up extra knowledge relating to the complicated employer sponsored visa procedures.

It is true that I hid or made up some part of my recent work experience, but that does not mean I can not do the migration service job as required.  Anyway, I got the immigration law certificate, and I am registered as the migration agent to practise in Australia. I have the ability to do the job. That is good enough.

I was suddenly angry towards this woman. I sent out a long email to her, venting out my displeasure with this issue, and also copied one to the CEO, with whom I had a pleasant video conference a few days ago.

One hour later after the email, the regular online meeting with the Admin Manager, started. She asked me about the content of this email. I repeated what I wrote in the email, and then both of us grew agitated, and she started to blame me.

In a furious outburst, I cried, I was stressful now, and then I said I am going to resign.

I left my chair, and then the CEO suddenly appeared into the camera, “what’s going on?”

My supervisor  replied, “Li blamed me.”

The CEO said, “This is not an educated behaviour, that you are resigning during the meeting.”

I did not care. I had had enough. I had bad sleeps. I wanted to say bye-bye to you guys. I said to myself.

After sending out another email, formally declaring my resignation. I felt greatly relieved of the heavy burden.

Then I was in panic. Where is the next money from to pay the heavy mortgage? How can face my wife’s cold face and severe accusation?

I threw myself to the cliff.

A few minutes later, a call came to my work mobile. I grabbed it in a hurry. It must be the CEO.

Yes, it is his voice. That is what I am waiting for.

 I talked to him, very friendly. I was smiling when talking over the phone. There was not a slight sound of anger in my words.

He assured me of my supervisor’s good intention. It is the Sydney based lawyer’s wickedness to undermine my reputation. He wanted to take back the work.

The CEO continued to explain, to pacify me. He said this problem was caused by the communications breakdown, for which I readily agreed.

He lastly asked, do you want to take back the resignation letter?

Yes, I promptly replied.

The next day, my supervisor was so friendly to me, that I found her totally a changed person. Then my days were all happy ones.

Now I regretted that I took the extreme way to protest, but was there any other good method to protect my interests?

What a brinkmanship I tried! I was a little ashamed of it. Alas! Had the CEO not intervened, I would had already been jobless for days.
