Lahore: Sometimes the office world becomes so stressful that
even the most personal matters of employees seem weak in the face of project
priorities. Recently, an employee took to social media to share his similar
concerns when his boss asked him to work on a very difficult project before his
wedding.
According to the employee, every task in the office is
considered important but there is no clear guidance or planning for the task.
Several managers give instructions simultaneously, but no one takes
responsibility. Micromanagement has become the norm on a daily basis, which
includes Zoom calls all the time and hourly updates, but there is no trust.
The employee said that the company has also imposed a
distance restriction, according to which no one can work more than 120 km away.
The managers who lead him are neither on-site nor off-site; they are just busy
pleasing the management.
The employee said that he had informed his managers about
the wedding two months ago, but the project leaders ignored him and expected
him to work on weekends as well.
The senior project manager even said, “Marriage is not an
emergency; this situation is more difficult for the employee because he has to
be released from the project in March, and the wedding cannot be postponed.”
The employee said that he is not able to get out of this dilemma of what to do
now.
Users on social media showed keen interest in the situation.
One user wrote that when everything is important, nothing is actually
important. Another user suggested that if financial circumstances allow, take
some time off from work and focus on the wedding, so that there are no regrets
later.
Some users also shared their positive experiences, with one
user writing that his boss mistakenly called him for work on the day of his
engagement, but as soon as he found out, he immediately apologized and told him
to enjoy the day.
