Stress and Panic
Well am I a little overwrought or what! Aargh - my first year MBA exam on Wednesday - it's based on case 3 case studies and I'm supposed to analyse the case studies in advance so that I have the anlysis to answer whatever the question maybe in the exam. I say supposed to because as i explained my job changed on me last week. My new boss has had several loooong meetings with me to discuss my new role and wants me to pick up the reins immediately although I haven't actually handed over the old job yet. Not to mention the fact that he has a management style that I am having difficulty adjusting to. Let's just say I feel like I am back at school. Do you know he actually got his secretary to call me at 4.45pm on Thursday afternoon to ask me to make my way back to his office for a meeting on something he had heard on the grapevine about which he wasn't happy. The fact that I was actually on the other side of London on my way to another meeting didn't seem to cross his mind - I refused of course and had to go see him first thing the next morning - and yes he had got completely the wrong end of the stick. I am a senior manager in this business i am not an errant schoolgirl - if he continues to treat me like that I won't be hanging around for long I can tell you!!
Anyway back to the point because I've been trying to do two jobs and deal with my new manager I have not been able to do as much revision as I need too. I'm off work now til the exam but that is only 4 days - HELP!
