Sitting here, with my beloved girls. Nataya, Adis, and Risty minus Arsyie, because she had to meet her cousin coming home from Germany. We grew up together since university. We share all of the inside jokes and stories. The silliness, the laughter, and the crazy little things we did in every places we go. We hang out tonight because of the alarming statement which Adis made today.
Adis: "Risty is in problem, she need us to gather so she can share the burden."
This line implies that we should be there for Risty, because we love her. Also, that's what friends are for, isn't it? So, voila..here we are, listening to what Risty got to say. Turns out it's about a conflict in her company, dealing with her own Manager. Yet, it's a woman. I wonder why is it me and all of my friends had to dealt with some serious conflicts with a woman superior.
What I had was dealing with my superior, my Managing Editor when I worked in a magazine. The burden was actually not coming from the deadlines..surely not. It was certainly coming from this woman. A heavy smoker, a little bit mental, a stubborn bitch, who like to hand over her problems to her inferior. Surprisingly, that inferior was ME.
I have no idea why the hell this person like her can be such an ass. Yet, it was not only happen to me, even to my Editor another inferior of hers. We had to struggle everyday to avoid her bundles of problems. I worked in that magazine for 7 months. I actually able to manage and cooperate with her problems. Also who turned out to give out her resignation letter not long after my hard times with her.
After the dreadful time I had to dealt with her, I had to faced some serious fights with my Marketing Manager. She is older than me, for sure. However, she seemed to put a lot of care to people's problems. It was only because of the reimbursement letter which I made every time I had a press conference to attend. She was there, bluffing herself out, tried to make things right. Being a hero where she certainly not supposed to be there. Making such a big complication where I had to yell at her...loudly!
There you go all of the problems I had with the superior....woman. Risty tried to hanging on there, managing her way til it reach May, at least. Because on May she will be officially working in that magazine for a year. We pray for Risty's comfort, hope she can manage her one month left very well. We shall be there for her, indeed. And all of the bad situation we had. We shall be there for our beloved dear friend. Indeed.
