just as summer heats up
the tension at work really heats up as well.
There has been brewing conflicts between the org I work for and another org that we work with. This has been stressful and annoying. I would rather have a peaceful partnership instead of this passive aggressive interaction that has been going on.
I have tried to not let it occupy my thoughts too much but I want to think about what I am doing to contribute to this.
I believe that I have been feeding into the drama by:
I believe in direct dealing. By this I mean that when there is a conflict that the effected parties sit down across the table and say this is how I feel, listen to the other party and then come to an agreement on how to deal with the conflict or issues. We have a meeting set up this afternoon to discuss this. I know this is not how it will play out but that is just the way that it is I guess.
I wish the economy was not so bad right now. I would propably try and find another job. My wish list for that job would include a strong manager who can provide guidance and strategic advice in a timely and relevant manner. I also want 100% employer paid healthcare, dental, vision, and ongoing relevant training among many other things.
The shift from 4 people who do my job to two is a big deal because I am picking up nearly all the slack. I will be the only grassroots staff in the office. I am just afraid of what these changes will mean for me.
eeeek!

I believe that I have been feeding into the drama by:
- harboring anger and resentment
- actively giving guidence when I should be holding off until clear direction has been given
- not working towards resolving the conflict in a direct manner
