very frustrated...

Currently i am working on the showhouse of my medium cost project. Scheduled to be completed by mid next mth. I have prepared my work schedule and also the work sequence plus the resource allocation for the showhses.

everything was going well when suddenly my boss decided to give another different instruction to the contractor & supervisor at site. Ok, before starting the proj, i have discussed with boss that we will construct the wall 1st (made of gypsum board) and then the floor tiling. Tiling will come last in the work sequence. Well, he agreed. So, i jz go ahead & proceed with the material purchasing for the board (for wall).

suddenly yesterday, boss instructed the contractor at site to proceed with the tiling work 1st. Wall to construct after the tiles. gosh! how could he do like this?! he always like that. earlier agreed with my work schedule, then last minute change to his plan. Worst still, i got to know this from my contractor & not my boss!!! only late yesterday evening, boss called & asked me to purchased the tiles and to be sent dwn to site tomorrow. I was shocked! why at 1st place he didnt tell me that he wants this tiling work sequence to start 1st? I have purchased board for this week's wall construction, and now, boss wants tiling work to start. haih!!!

so, without wasting much time, i called up my supplier, S. Informing her that my boss jz called and wants the tiles to be sent dwn tomorrow. S said it is impossible as the tiles manufacturer need to check the tiles stocks, arrange for transport (tiles manufactured in johor). Soonest is next week tuesday. S was also frustrated, but luckily S understood that it was also not my fault. I am just adhere to boss' instruction. all of us 'makan gaji', wat to do... :( so now, i have informed my boss abt the situation, he then asked my contractor to proceed with the external wall construction and other small work 1st while waiting for the tiles to arrive next week.

one thing i am not happy is, why my boss always do like this? why he always must change his decision after he has decided? and worst thing, he didnt informed me that he has changed my plans. I always get to know the matter from another person, eg my supervisor or contractor. If boss wants me to manage my work, my boss should not go & instruct my men directly as this would have a conflict in commanding instruction. then, we would have misunderstanding or even communication breakdown.

I know i am capable of managing my project. Furthermore, it is just a showhse project. Why cant my boss just let me handle it? It is not that i do not discuss with him. I DID! everything was discussed & confirmed before the work started. And now, ... sigh!

I agree if he wants to change his plans, yes, he may do so, but let us have a discussion on table with boss & me, then let me instruct them at the site to do the work. Sometimes, too much changes by my boss, even my men at site also have big headache. Multiple changes really makes us feel very very frustrated! My boss just cant have a FIRM decision!!!!

If any of u have experienced of this type of boss, kindly give me suggestions on how do i tell my boss (in a good manner) that i do not like him to do the things which he had done like the above incident and to have good working environment with him. My boss, if u argue with him, he dun like it and he will raise his voice if he thinks he is on the losing side. So u see, he is the type that cannot 'LOSE' to other ppl one. And, he always said to every of his employee that, he always have solutions to every problems. To him, there is no problem. All problems can be solved. And to make matters worst, he thinks that MONEY can solve every damn thing in this world!

i hate this type of personality... money is not everything...money cannot buy love, cannot buy friendship or relationship, cannot buy honesty....if u think money can buy those things, all those are FAKE! All fake!

Thats y i am so frustrated today... after what has happened, i felt that my boss never appreciate the work i have done. always think that he is always the right one and whatever instruction i have given to my men at site, he will superceed it with his plans & didnt inform me. therefore, if u r my supervisors, what would u think? U must be thinking that i am not capable of delivering instruction and thats y my boss have to come in & interfere. U get what i mean here?

*sad* *sad*
