I was just sharing with 2 of my fellow leaders about my work & how I feel that I am a pretty efficient worker yesterday.I was telling them how my colleagues always feel that I am as cool as a cucumber & I never seem to panic or worry even when work is piling or when the system is down & the cases are not routed to approval Q..
Let me explain,in my job, the workflow goes like this…My temp will do the data entry of new cases (seeking mortgage loan approval) into the system.Then the system will route theses cases to this Q called the “Validation Q” and my clerk will do further checks & adding in more info..Finally,these cases will be routed to the “Approval Q” where I will get to see the cases..
Of late,the system seems cranky & refuse to route cases fm the Validation Q to Approval Q or it simply takes its own sweet time..
So by 6.30pm,I could still have 7-10 brand new cases (the hard copy of application forms,income docs,etc) sitting in my tray but they are nowhere to be found in the Approval Q..Then,I will say, “since the cases are not routing,I’m going to go home.No point staying also cos’ I forsee that it will still not be routed in the next 30 mins”..My colleague who sits next to me will go, “Huh,but there are still so many new cases.How to finish?”
I will agree but still I will go home.
By the grace of God, I always manage to finish most of my cases & I can still offer my help to those colleagues who are slower..But I do believe that it is not becos of my gifts,talents or abilities or how good I am at work..But it is really God who multiplied my time..
We all have different commitments: family,work,relationship,friends,etc,etc,etc..
More so as a CGL,time is very precious to me.
I have leaders’ meeting every Tue,CG meeting on Thur & not forgetting that we need to give BS,meeting mbrs,etc,etc,etc..
I serve God with my time & I believe God “pays me back” in a way at my work place by helping me to be efficient & multiplying my time..
Not a bad deal,yah?
