That's wat i wrote to my manager..She's a nice person to confine things in..


Hi Cyndi,

I’ve actually wanted to talk to you in person. But nevertheless, I felt that writing them in words will be a better way of expressing my feelings. To be frank, I haven’t been feeling happy this few weeks.

I haven’t been sleeping well for the pass few days as I am stressed up by both my studies and the workload in the office as well as how to maintain the good rapport with my team members while getting them to cooperate and get things done. I have been dreaming about work-related stuff for several nights.

For instance, the closing of monthly accounts and the things to follow-up on the departure of our directors. The August account was only 15% done?! I’m suppose to start doing it last Monday but was being instruct by Harlin to do up the accounts for Surabaya as he need it on Wednesday. As all the information keyed into the system was being lumped together, I have to dig out all the payment and break them out into the respective account code. On Thursday, some of the time was spent with our accountant but I did manage to do some of the preparation. Friday, I have spent half of the day on the things to do on the departure of our directors.

I’m afraid that I will not be able to complete the monthly financial report for Kenneth’s perusal in time. As I am taking a part time course, I do not have much time to stay over after work to complete the work. I will be thinking of my work even when I’m having lesson. Both of the task mentions are equally important, but how am I suppose juggle them? Am I being overly paranoid and exert too much unnecessary stress?

I’m grateful that the company has given me the chance to take up this role and would like to excel in it. However, I’m afraid that I am not doing a good job. Seriously, I really admire and respect you for having done such a good job in juggling work, family as well as your studies. I really have to learn them from you.

Apart from that, sometimes I have no idea if the work that was assigned can be done together with my team members ie. to acquire help from them to get it done. I personally feel that it is reasonable. But apparently, member from the team gave me the impression that, this is my job and I ought to do it by my own. Getting along & working well with co-worker is a difficult and challenging aspect.

I do love the company and the people in it and would definitely want to continue working and have advancement; however, recently I found that I have been dragging myself to work which I believe is an unhealthy indication. The reason for me writing this mail to you is to hope that you can help me to ‘resolve’, if possible, as I do not wish to have this kind of feeling.



Thanks & Best Regards
Josephine
