had quite stressful weeks recently... had stocks issues... had major issues with my agency causing me to make a decision to use another agency 2 weeks before my campaign!!!
today was my briefing to the restaurant managers. i was prepared for the worst as i was rushing my "new" agency like crazy to get the artwork ready to share with the restaurant managers. so, i went through my briefing and right at the end, asked the managers if there were any questions. 1 manager put his hand up and went (summarising it since i can't remember the exact words) - "i understand you are introducing new and different ideas in promotions and advertising etc... i just want to say a JOB WELL DONE!"... it totally caught me off-guard... my AGM told me afterwards that he was surprised this manager praised me in front of the group... apparently he was one of those who challenged the previous marketing managers! so it made me happy this morning...
then in the afternoon, i was having a conversation with my franchisor... after getting approvals etc, she told me i am doing a great job so far... praise number 2 for the day!
getting praised twice in a day is an ego booster! feels good especially after i have been doubting myself... now i need the sales to pick up to prove that i am doing it right! everyone go eat at BK!
Wah you gave me suspense earlier when I started reading...can feel the stress of OOS and switching agency at the last min!!! But was relieved to read later the +ve part of the whole experience! It always feel so shiok to be appreciated. Am proud of you...you can de...as always :-)

thanks for the encouragement, HJ. guess no matter where i go... the OOS situation is always haunting me! haha! i think at least the managers here are more out-spoken? don't recall any managers openly praised me before at KFC. Haha! first little step to job satisfaction!
ReplyDeletehey sis,
ReplyDeletekeep up good effort. Sometimes praises by co worker is more satisfying than praises by boss.
