I suppose to wear that happy smile on my face after being personally chosen by one of my Boss to be transferred to another department. Yes, a sort of flattery moment but then again, it came surprisingly, by-passing my existence. I deserve to know first though since it was me that needs to decide if I am willing or not. Who else would decide for myself but myself alone!
My idea of growth in the work place is based on the opportunities that would come knocking on my door. I always wanted to grow everyday when I am at work. I have always wanted to surpass those things that I can do and change it to a more challenging and complicated stuff, have my self untie those knots of difficulties and breath fresh air after coping with the new challenge. Yes! that's what I've always wanted. Growth, challenged and prosper in this world.
It all came as a surprise. Or should I say a joke that have slipped out from one of my Boss's tongue. When I was asked if I wanted to be transferred, I definitely said "NO!". I like my current environment. I like my crowd and I love working on this jungle of fun place. So I said "no". But honestly, I was thinking selfishly.
It came to me that I should have considered what's at stake. Promotion? Challenge? But why me? Im cenrtainly not the only one around and there are a lot to pick who can work better than me. There is this colleague of mine who is better than me (I swear he is!) who deserves a new environment. For goodness sake, lets say that staying in that four corners of the room for a year will really make you sick. This man needs to vacate his seat and sit more comfortable outside that zone. I would love him to take that part and have me stay in my current office.
The truth is....
I wanted this!
