"J came up to me this arvo while i was working and asked me to go down to level 4 where i would be in a meeting with G, J and AM from HR. I was like "what the?" why are we having a meeting? J said it was just a followup and nothing to really worry about... i felt a bit put off that i hadnt been given any notice about this supposed meeting but shrugged it off and headed down to the meeting with john...

got there.. everyone hell serious and i was begininning to get worried. G flatly stated that on consultation with A and J - they had decided that i would be better off back in the call centre. I was upset but kept my cool and asked how come.... G stated that it came down to the people perceptions of me..

i replied with that i thought we had already sorted this out and that those perceptions were based on G's assumptions from not asking me about why i did a few things and had he spoken to me he would have understood. I stated that i didnt know what i had done wrong, and that even though i hadnt liked the decision made a week and a half ago, i had gotten on with my job and ploughed through, closing tasks and complaints etc...

G again stated that they couldnt fault my work, but they felt that i was a disruption to the team and i didnt fit with the team and that the perception of me wasnt good and i should just go back to the call centre. I asked him what he meant by disruption to the team becoz even though i didnt enjoy just being a "complaint's monkey" i still got the job done and motivated other to perform well by having a tally up on the board and boosting morale in the team.

G's reply was that J had told him that i had said i didnt like to be micro managed. To this i agreed. Becoz J had asked me 7 times in one day if i had done a level 2 complaint that wasnt due until the next day i had asked him not to micro manage me, becoz i felt i could handle my work load and i would get it done. Fair and reasonable, i did it with a whole day to spare, just becoz i can do more than one thing at once and do level 1 tasks in between doing my level 2 tio.. (creates space to think and process) and sure, check email, communicate via msn to get things happening with tios (like hardware, dslam, communication to sydney etc) just becoz i look at other stuff ocassionally - it hasnt in the past hampered my work load nor would it in the future... but J used this to say that i was disrupting the team which is complete bullshit... just becoz i can manage my own work load and dont like being nagged like a 5 year old, doesnt mean that i dont get my stuff done, much the opposite.

So becoz of G's "people's perceptions of you" and J's "disruption to team" they told me i have to go back to the call centre.. i asked when.. G (all smarmy and smirkyish) said effective immediately. I asked if i wanted to resign and work out my 1 week's notice if i could stay in the BIT team until the end of the week. G said he didnt think "it would be appropriate" and said he would try and get them to pay me out til the end of the week... (i wont hold my breath).

So.. thats it.. i dont want to go back to the call centre... i really dont think i should have to, especially given my work standards and them not being able to faulter my work. Its quite obvious that its been G's hidden agenda and now he's suceeded.. so... I left...."
