Finally, after a long period of tug-of-war between bosses, my co-worker has finally been allowed to leave our unit…he has long requested for a transfer to another unit due to what he says are irreconcilable differences with our boss but I believe it truly stemmed from the fact that he doesn’t want to be left behind during out of town trips – you see our unit has a dual function and so whenever there is an LPSA out of town, only 2 people are allowed to go with the boss while the other two are left behind to maintain and continue the operations of the OPCEN…which operates daily and monitors news 24/7.
So, though I am a bit sad about his leaving (since he is, after all, considered one of the first few pillars of this unit being hired by my Mom who used to head this unit when training and not media was its previous advocacy)…but still I do not consider him a real loss. In fact, it would be more like a breath of fresh air…because lately ever since he signified his intention to leave, he has been spouting nothing but negativity about everything – although I admit that what he said are mostly true (the lies and the corruption), I don’t think it is good to badmouth a unit or even a boss you would soon part ways with – after all, we remain in the same organization and it does no good to burn bridges. What’s worse is that even if we know all these things…we do not have any concrete proof…no paper trail…no evidence… so why rock the boat? Well, I’m just glad he finally got his wish to leave…at least the unit could finally heave a long sigh of relief now that he’s gone…I know I am!
