hello everyone...today i cried...in the office, with 3 people as witnesses...thank god, d nakita ng boss ko...it's about this project that i did...i finished the questionnaire and had it translated...and checked...only to realize that when the questionnaire was mass-produced...a couple of statements were incorrectly translated....and that was found out when the field interviewers were already out doing their jobs...i cried because i got overwhelmed by the magnitude of the cost of the mistake...i know that is something i couldnt control...but i manage the project therefore i am responsible for it, ergo i am to blame for any mistakes...what i feel more badly about is that everyone seems to wash their hands off the case...ie, the first thing that they said to me was that they were not to blame because i did not ask them to check/verify...i felt bad because is this all this is? jobs reduced to a blaming game???? of course i couldnt be firm that I DID ASK THEM TO CHECK...that would be the chicken's way out, and that would be futile argument...i just kept my quiet and just nodded...and thought, tang ina niyo...thing is, i couldnt really hate these people because they're the ones who train me also (training on the software and the like)...so i am still indebted to them...i dunno, i think ive overestimated myself...i dont think i can handle this kind of culture here...why cant we just work as a team and help each other out??? why do we need to prioritize keeping our asses guilt-free when we could have instead think of synergizing??? i think i wont stay long here...
