This Christmas must be the busiest one I ever had. Beside work and two kids to take care, this year I'm also responsible for events in the community we live. Photos check my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/rwcutter

Being Boss is Lonely

Yesterday I was called into CEO Office with some colleagues. I wondered what the meeting was for because the combination of attendees did not fit any on-going project. Then the answer was revealed. My boss was very upset and angry about the resignation of a key engineer, because he thought it was still under negotiation but the engineer believed it was accepted so he left. He was so frustrated and needed to give vent to his anger, but as a CEO, he can't just complaint to his colleagues like we do. He can't bring it home to his wife and children, either. So, he called a fake meeting to invite a few people he think he can talk about it. I almost felt sorry for him. As an old Chinese poem goes, it's freezing at high positions.
