New Position Pro:
- authority to make decisions for change and improvements to current system
- autonomy to handle conflicts and patients independently
- able to attend and speak to higher management directly
- authority to handle staff and their need for taking annual leaves or MCs
- better insight in work operations
- challenge my skills to balance work-life and multi-task
New Position Cons:
- more need to exercise independent decisions making skills to handle conflicts and troubleshoot problems faced in daily clinical operations
- higher level of patience needed to speak to staff who are not compliant to changes made
- need to exercise more caution when speaking to higher management staff
- need to handle last minute MCs and lack of staff to work
- 'work comes before self' mentality automatically to the extend that I had to work OT and return to work foregoing my planned day off because of lack of staff to work
- need to attend more meetings and better understand situations that may potentially harm clinic or doctor's reputations.
- people/colleagues tend to talk more behind your back due to misunderstandings, especially those who are jealous of the promotion
- people/colleagues expect a more biased judgement towards them just because they were once 'close' to me or 'in talking-terms' with me.
In conclusion, the past two weeks (teething period, as one of my close pal calls it) has been challenging my patience and mental capability as I am faced with assorted of problems on a daily basis. There seem to be hiccups and problems awaiting for me to solved everyday. I didn't even get to fully enjoy my mum's birthday celebration on the 12th and Valentines' Day.
However, I am glad for one thing: my fiance who is also in his 'teething period' of new job has been quite supportive of me and has been trying his best to accommodate to my mood-swings and mental stress overload. Although, he is also have his own issues in handling his new job and he is also mentally bogged down by them, but he is able to prove to me that he is still after-all able to be my confidant as well as pillar of support after work.
Hopefully, this teething period would be over soon and the both of us will be able to embrace on with our new careers more confidently, working towards a better future together. One more good news is that my mum has finally or should I say reluctantly accepted this relationship with him and even invited him for the family gathering held for her birthday dinner celebration. But that doesn't mean the wedding/ROM is confirmed yet eh :)!
