Today marked the start of my appoinment as the new head of a department. I have assumed the position as the Methods Manager for the Preventive and Predictive Maintenance Department...a section wherein it functions to provide an efficient and effective Maintenance Program to improve the plant reliability and reduce the maintenance cost.
I had a heavy heart this morning bidding goodbye to my Automation group which i had been working everyday for the past 16 years. Within that long span, a friendship was developed amongst us, respect with each was upheld at a very high level...we had been friends all throughout.
I met my new team today, i was introduced by the division manager and i delivered a very short speech which started like this: "the system that has been laid out and used in this department are functioning well, i have no plans of altering them rather expect some rooms for improvement. i need all the support i can get from each one as i'd devote all the support i could give...."...hahaha, korny ano?!
It was an awkward day...we discussed work in a serious manner, no jokes as i usually do with my previous group to relieve tension and formalites. Definetly it works that way. It was only a day and i am terribly missing them. I wish new friendship blooms within the new team...and i intend to build the atmosphere the soonest. I am aware that in general, casual..not close friendships are preferable in business. Casual ones are safest but i definetly prefer the latter...workplace friendships among co-workers reap positive results, and by all means retard accelerated aging.
