You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
今日は、出社して仕事をしてきた。
I worked at the office today.
昨日、出張で出られなかった月例ミーティングの資料を読んでいると、オフィスのアドミニストレーターが退職されると書いてある。
I came across some news in the meeting materials for the monthly all-staff meeting. It was about the office administrator resigning from her position.
てっきり彼女から更新しないと会社に通告したものと思っていた。前回か前々回の月例にて、アドミニストレーターを２名に増やすって話をしていたのがその理由。
I initially thought that she had decided not to renew her contract, as our branch manager had mentioned that we were planning to hire another administrator to have two of them.
話を聞いてみると、会社から更新しないことを伝えらえたそう。しかも、事前に連絡もなく、人材派遣会社の担当者から話を聞いたんだという。
However, when I discussed this with her, she informed me that it was the company’s decision not to renew her contract. What bothered her more was that there was no prior notice from the manager; she learned about it through the temp agency.
非情に徹しなければ社長なんか務まらないのかもしれない。でも、わたしはそうは思わない。更新しないことを決断するもっと前から、彼女の心境を確認するなりできたはず。なんか最近、社長のことが信じられなくなってきた。今後の身の振り方は少し考えたい。
I find it challenging to accept such a decision from our branch manager. Even if being a manager sometimes requires making tough decisions, I believe there should have been better communication. If the manager had decided not to renew her contract, he could have spoken to her earlier, allowing her to prepare for her next job. Lately, my trust in the manager has waned, and I’m beginning to reconsider my immediate future with the company.
To be continued.
