someone commented that I have a tendency to get damn stressed about certain things when in fact, things can occur smoothly even without additional effort.
I beg to differ. i felt i had to do more because i have experienced the outcome if i hadn't before. yes, questions would have been asked, and suggestions would have been raised (by
them), but actions would not have been done till the 11th hour. time would have been wasted, with the task ending as a total disaster.
i don't have the right to say that i can do things better than them, but i can say that i am ready to take ownership of the things required to do and make things happen. is this being overly assertive, or am i also being too sure of myself? i doubt so. past experiences have shown that no one will stand out to take charge unless questions have been raised by the management. by then, a black mark will have already be placed on the entire team.
what was initially a three man job became largely a one man job because the latter two, or rather one of them, failed to achieve tasks requirements repeatedly. being as junior as he is, there is nothing much i could have done but to cover his roles, so as to cover my ass so to say, because i have since taken responsibility and ownership of the task.
yes, i do get stressed up quite easily but the minutest of things. but i doubt that i am making a mountain out of a molehill this time round because i want to have a good 10 months in this place before i leave it for good. a disaster to mark the beginning is the least of things myself and others need.
