I will on loan to another department for 6 month starting next week.\u00a0 My old department does not have any new project for the time being, so can’t really complain being on loan to the other department where has lots of work and short on staff.\u00a0 Today we have the welcome meeting with the new project team.\u00a0 The new department seems to have a bright future, the product line is ramping up and expect to have exceed 100 million revenue per year if the project I will work on ships on time.\u00a0 Somehow I picked an interesting straw in task assignment.\u00a0 I will be working on the SATA and SAS protocol, which half of the products in the new department are built upon on.\u00a0 I will take over some work from some engineers who are leaving the company.\u00a0 It will be a steep ramp up for me to learn the new standards in a short period of time.\u00a0 No kidding, it is a tough and demanding assignment.<\/p>\n
On the bright side, every crisis is also an opportunity.\u00a0 If I step forward and did a good job, the result should will be rewarding.\u00a0 This is mostly technical work, I can just do my best and not having to worry about stepping on someone’s toe.\u00a0 It would be quite difficult to shine on leadership skill like I have done in my previous project being a loaner.\u00a0 That would involve some politics and not familiar with the technology is definitely a handicap for me.\u00a0 Strive to be the technical expert gives me more control on my own destiny.\u00a0 I have acquire the domain knowledge so valuable to the new department, I will have the option to transfer to the new department after the on loan period.\u00a0 It is better for me to be in high demand\ufe50 since I don’t see any future in my old department right now, at least not in the current ruin state.<\/p>\n
The new department seems a nice place to work at, challenging work, good growth potential, everything sounds alright except one thing, the manager.\u00a0 He is one of the worst manager in the company, well known for slaving his sub-ordinary without giving fair compensation.\u00a0 On a second thought, maybe a permanent transfer is not such a good idea.\u00a0 I would rather take my chance in the old department then working for a heartless manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
