Dave was in call, headphones one he silently listened the instructions of his manager. She was yelling or something as I could hear her through Dave's headphones. From time to time he nodded and said yes, yes i will do, yes i will check, yes i will resolve...
I waited for him to end his call while reading emails and responding to them, the project where I am assigned is a mess and there is an endless confusion to what needs to be done and how. Angry communications about asking plans, presentations and meetings invites were flying around.
Finally Dave ended his call and approached my desk with a pale face:
- C'mon Seb, let's get a coffee...
While sipping our drinks in the cafeteria I told him about the vacation plans, wondering if I can get the approval to leave for the two weeks while I was involved in that project and start a training while a return for a third week.
- It's horror Dave said, you have no time for yourself. Weekend was full of work, my kid was sick again and I had to run through the doctors, didn't get much sleep and now I am coming Monday morning to get kicked in the behaind by the manager. So frickin' sick of it.
While he spoke Jo Ann rushed into the cafeteria, she was a team supervisior and rumors had it she will become the next manager. Crazy woman with extra high energy level and low emotional stability to compensate she shouted jokingly to me and Dan:
- Get back to work guys, the Corporation is counting on you. She quickly left with a coffee in hand.
Dave sighed and said:
- Won't be long till she will be manager and she will be bustin' our balls and kickin our asses, and I bet she would love to do it anyway.
I couldn't disagree, especially of all the rumours on how she liked it going around.
