I have started at this firm 2years+ and thankfully my boss (HOD) confirmed my as a permanently earlier than the usual policy of 2+ 2year. I report to her directly since a person I suppose to report to has left. She kind and bother to guide and clarify quickly over a call. In fact many calls and micro meetings in her room, unstructured. Some times chat more than work stuffs. She will say she sees potential in me and I’m aware she treats me well and better than others of the similar level. And old birds have things to say cos based on my portfolios they don’t really require ops but many financials reporting to different stakeholders. Others need to do daily ops, manage internal staffs. Sometimes she’s too clingy as a boss, relying on my to remember many details and I feel I’m evolving to her PA cos my workload not a lot and I can attend to her ad hoc request. hand hold me since the start - while others have a department manager to guide. Now my portfolio not doing well and to cease soon and Aug restructuring. She told me she’s planning a job/ role to weave me into. The other business unit that doesn’t really like her as a HOD. Even for lunch she will ask me to join her cos she doesn’t mingle with other HODs. I will respond to her anytime cos I’m appreciative of having a job after being a stay home mum for sometime. As much as I’m comfortable with working with her I don’t a progress in this career. Where internal transfers are possible I have no confident to pursue. Should I just wait for her to plan my career?
