Ever since I worked in the bank I was very obedient to my bosses as well as co workers. If there are tasks given to me I immediately do it so that I can finish the job and it won’t be a backlog on my part. This obedience is normal since this is my job, I have to perform it well. But lately I have noticed that some of my co workers take advantage over me.
I am on my vacation right now, going around the city and seeing places I seldom visit because I am totally a workaholic. This time I take this chance to celebrate my freedom from the office. On the first day of my vacation however, an office mate of mine called out and asked me if I am busy, I just made some white lies and told her yes. She then told me if I am not busy maybe I could come to the office and explain some sort of transactions that she couldn’t understand. I was shocked and I asked myself is this how people in the bank act? I am enjoying my personal space at the moment and suddenly someone could just pull me out of my vacation leave? Well I was pissed a bit and I talk ed frankly to her that “You may want to respect my time. If in any way you need help you just have to consult others and let them help you”. It’s a matter of saying “NO“ right? And she must learn how to respect my time by not bothering me in time of my vacation.
After the day I also felt guilty, talking to a senior staff that way is also offensive. Luckily at nighttime I received a message from her telling me that she apologize for asking favor in time of my vacation that she would also get upset if she was in my position.
