Kumar’s Weekly Point Blog

October 7th, 2007 Kumar Jagdeo

This was a very exhausting week. My points do not reflect how I actually feel about what has occurred. I earned 47 points out of 50. By the numbers, a great week. NOt so in my mind. I did what I needed to do to get the points. It’s Sunday at 1030pm and I been unable to write the assessment or come up with my Sprint Goal. I am allowing some bad habits to form again and prevent me from moving on. Brief story, I could really use some feedback and major advice. Please forward such advice to my personal email kumarq@comcast.net. I must stress the importance this be sent to this email versus my corporate address. 3 weeks ago one of my top teams at ML sent over 3 proposals totaling $95mil in new business for the year. This would make my year and is a relationship we have worked on for a ling time. We went into over drive to get the portfolio managers in place, documents in order, and presentations ready to go. I went on vacation with an understanding we are all set. When I returned on Sunday, big meeting on Tuesday, I was informed our Taft Hartley team would be handling this case. Now they are handling all 3. After repeated calls to my manager for answers, I was told to drop it. These cases would help us end the year in the top 10, lead to hundreds of shares of company stock (price is at $91), and account for a quarter of my year to date income. I was told to drop it!!! This has truly taken me off my game and I have lost several nights of sleep. I apologize to my partner Brandon for being absent the last few days (mentally). I understand there are a lot of politics involved. We are trained to work with “Mega Advisors” and have spent hundreds of hours training to become better. I am exhausted, pissed, confused, skin rash, irritated, did I mention pissed, it feels like High School all over again.
