Imagine a single word that you say, or for that matter, NOT say, may cause your bank to lose a major partership such as Visa or Mastercard. Imagine a little glitch in a software that's under your direct supervision could cause a loss of millions of hard currency for the bank. Imagine a simple mispelling in an agreement you drafted, could have caused tens of thousands of people to fall into abject poverty. Imagine running a project that has the entire Bank's good name at stake internationally, with no budget, no sponsorship, no manpower, but management expects you to carry it forward without complaint. Imagine management's expectations is that you sell 100,000 accounts in 9 months when they've only sold 20,000 in the past 3 years and your career rests on it. Imagine all this while working in the largest bank in the country, screaming and yelling to make yourself noticed in a sea of people. To top it all off, imagine trying to do all this AND quit smoking. That was me last week, and this week looks just as.... Interesting.....
