I am now reporting to new lady boss from our sister company. She is strong in HR, powerful english (i feel so la), can write long grandfather story. But she is old, 57.

So while she took over our HR function, she also looking for successor, as she plan to retire in 3-5 years time.

She has two successors in mind, one Asst Quality Mgr, and myself.

She encourage me to take up degree in HR, which I dun think i can manage. A lot of project to submit. She also nominate me to go for our company in house mgmt skills course conducted in Netherlands for next year. That in house course is a good course to train the newly mgr. Hear from colleague who went for the course, the course require a lot of presentation, and the trainer will video tape your presentation and point out your weaker area and how to improve it. I dun like this type of course.

Problem is, I am kind of person that 没志气。 I am not ambitious. Working as Manager (or maybe assistant mgr) mean I have to deal with the Mgmt team, which I dun like. I am not up to their political standard. If I work with them, think I will be arrowed down by them very soon. Furthermore, I can't write well, my english also half pail water. I also not a good leader, and leak of mgmt skills.

Working as Executive now, I can still use the mgr to block the arrows. Although sometime I do become a sandwish between my mgr and mgmt team. And now, i also have lesser responsibilities.

Of course, title come with $$$. And who will say NO to promotion? Just have to see how I develop along the way. I may or may not be the one. Just thinking of the mgt skill course next year already make me stress....
