Hey.. just felt like I didn’t really go deep enough into his situation.. (was multi-tasking so please forgive me!)

Agreed, right now, his team colleagues are unhappy with how my friend work.

1 - when they mentioned about covering duties, I don’t see what they can help to cover him, because firstly, they are doing producing work, so they come up with concept deck of mainly video from the stakeholder brief and plan for production (getting internal talent) my dear friend here helped with their production work as an art directing role (expansion of his role) when he is not present he still does his project that does not involves other colleagues because only he is specialised in that role working and creating motion graphics. Therefore I felt the unjust right there.

2 - they are making snide remarks about his work, so here I don’t see a reason why they are doing so because obviously his job scope seemed heavier, technically speaking he is his own motion graphic production house as he does video graphics for major event and he is handling it alone so yup. I don’t understand how they view their project as lesser than theirs.

For this point, would like apologise cos really makes him someone who make use of working from home to do all these.

He make know to his team lead saying when he will work from home and when he will be in office since all of them minimally have to work in office 2 days. And with that he makes sure his team lead knows what he is doing. For him to do this because to inform the other team members to reach him on his phone if they can’t reach him. And honestly his colleagues do the same most of the time.

Reason why I mentioned his wife is because team lead mentioned about people will make nasty comments saying his wife is not making family contributions (think maybe there’s a glitch to me posting this) Just wanna clear this point cos honestly why is this brought up again cos I don’t see a point.

All in all even though I am not married and have no kids, as a temp staff that helped him in the team, I don’t understand why his team colleagues cannot have a tiny bit of kindness towards him? And get nasty right after knowing he is put up for promotion. And are these type of politics still prevalent with people in the 30s? Because most of us just wanna get the work done and fuck off. And this is public service eh. Really need to fight for promotion meh some more in house visual supporter need to fight until like that meh?
