Battling… @ 31/7/2008

This is one of the most difficult project implementation that I handled throughout my years in IT field, not because of system complication / toughness but managing the people. : S

I’ve been advised + heard from all angles before that this particular woman from Finance Dept is hard to deal with and, this time is my turn to experience it. I have no choice but ought to deal with her + her favorite subordinate recently simply because the system involves money collection and account elements although the system ownership belongs to my department for Canopy Club. Guess what has happened? They initiated a battle since the first day both of them stepped their foot into the system implementation stage until everyone else who involved in the project also cannot stand both of them, planted in hard feeling and avoid to deal with / talk to both of them even though it is essential. Why it is so? Because both of them, particularly the subordinate acted as if she is Project Manager giving out instruction to vendor + end users ( my department’s gals ), acted as if she is an Internal Auditor checking + digging fault done by end users, report straight to Senior Manager whenever she succeed in fault finding without knowing the actual picture that has to be tolerate, created a fear factor at workplace until my department’s gals don’t dare to execute operation work due to fear to be caught etc lor… Haiz… Seriously, I have never come across with this kind of project team member before of which, all my team / dept mates from top to down also cannot stand both of them. What a miserable life lately that I have to prepare myself going into battle field almost every day. Sigh… : S
