Enough!
I laughed when I read Nike's blog. As usual, the same sentiments, the same emotions. Imagine, you have been slaving at work, trying to cover everything, recoding a module assigned for one month in 2 hours, fixing a high priority issue that will be retested the following morning and finding that "we are planning to fix this by tomorrow" in the status.
What could you do when all those faces are looking at you? You fix, you stay quiet and labour morning, noon and night. You work weekends and everything, you do everything humanly possible to turn around issues. Then a single slip and everything explodes (explosion nga naman).
We don't mind the work, it's part of the job. But I never realized the power of appreciation. I know it's a thankless job but what will you feel if you have been toiling and toiling and then, puff!
I realized that sometimes it's not worth it. It's so not worth it....
