my boss has been on leave since 4 jun. he returns next week.
and since then, the stress level was very very manageable. i mean, when he was around, even when he didn't talk to you or task you to do anything, his mere presence itself creates a high degree of stress and discomfort amongst us. it always feels like there's someone watching over you and that every you do is subjected to his approval. very stifling.
but since his leave started, the whole office environment became a lot more relax. people were able to walk freely without feeling like they're being watched. and as for me, i managed to arrange a lunch for two of my fellow managers with my ex-chief yesterday. it was such a great feeling to be able to meet up and talk. and today, i also met up with my ex-director for lunch. enjoyed the conversation and the catch up thoroughly.
was thankful to have the opportunity to get to know these people. learned lots from them and enjoyed the teamwork, particularly so because they were so people-oriented. missed those days...
